yeah, yeah... somebody flung a pair of shoes at President Bush. Ever the culturally aware, CNN, Bloomberg and all the other news outlets are thoughtful to point out that 'flinging shoes is considered an insult in Middle Eastern cultures.'
Really now. is there any place where throwing a shoe with that level of fury is considered a blessing? If some guy starts flinging size tens at me like they're ninja stars, I don't care if they're meant to carry 1500 years of cultural significance: I'm ducking.
Fortunately, Bush's experience in dodging things (like the draft) came in handy.

Shit- you mean flinging shoes at people isn't a compliment? Geez, no wonder people act so angry when I meet them.
