Hitting someone with a shoe is a deep insult in the Arab world, signifying that the person being struck is as low as the dirt underneath the sole of a shoe

A couple hours ago I sent an e-mail to the NY Times' web editor about some grammar errors in that article. :)

I don't think anyone would have known Bush held a press conference if it weren't for that journalist throwing a pair of shoes at him. :D

Well, neither UPS nor anyone else will actually throw them, but it would be funny as hell if they started getting old shoes by the ton!

I'd send some. In a heartbeat. Put me on your shit list, ya lame duck!

Bush's last day: A congregation of thankful citizens hurling our shoes on the white house lawn as a farewell present.

I am starting to think with Bush so close to his last days in office his security is getting a little lax, how could they let someone throw 2 shoes at the guy? Bush is the most hated man in the world and a mere pair of shoes have gotten the closest to injuring him in 8 years.

Oh my, sending shoes to the WH would be hilarious. A harmless insult, unless anyone got cocky.

If someone wants to start a nation shoe humiliation effort, I'm in for at least a couple pair.
