President Bush is in Iraq – his final visit there as Commander-In-Chief.

While shaking hands with the Iraqi Prime-Minister in Baghdad today, an Iraqi reporter apparently threw two shoes toward the President, without hitting him, this according to an AFP journalist.

I will go out on a limb here and say that the reporter was obviously no fan of President Bush – which is why this makes no sense to me.

Assuming the shoes were his (and the reporter was a man), why would he risk losing a pair of shoes over someone he had such disdain for? I certainly wouldn’t take off my shoes and hurl them at someone like Michael Moore or Sean Penn, if given the opportunity. My shoes cost money, dammit. They’d probably be confiscated by the authorities anyway, and then what? I’d have to walk home in my socks? No lefty is worth my shoes.

Besides, Big rocks, half-eaten tomatos and poop-filled baby diapers are cheaper.

Maybe the reporter brought an extra pair of old, beat-up shoes in a carry bag or something.

These things fascinate me.

There’s video of the incident that has just been released.

Quipped the President, “All I can report is that it was a size 10.”
