Farewell of Shoes for an American President!

The Iraqi PM infuriated respectable Iraqis by inviting the man who invaded and destroyed their country killing hundreds of thousands of people.

It was fitting that a brave man had the courage to hit the disgraced leader of the Free World with shoes. I love it. In Islamic culture, to hit a person with shoes is the ultimate form of disrespect. Usually they make a garland of old shoes and hang it around the disgraced man. Due to secret service it was not possible.

Shoes are worshipped by some people in this culture. People in this culture shoot each other.

I wish ben would just STFU for three fucking days, much less three years.

He's probably done for the day at least..

An entire thread about him probably has him mentally exhausted.
