Our Lame-Duck President

By now everyone has seen the video of Bush dodging a pair of shoes that were thrown at him from a Iraqi reporter who obviously couldn't stand him.

I was actually impressed that Bush was quick enough to duck the first shoe. Maybe Laura Bush has attempted to throw shoes or a slap down a few times in the past.

In the Arab culture, to hit someone with a shoe.... or even pointing the sole of your feet/shoes at someone is a insult. Since the feet are the lowest part of your body it is considered unclean.

Also never shake hands with your left hand because in the culture that is the hand that is used for cleaning yourself after nature calls....

Anyway back to Bush...
