Who among us has not wanted to take off our shoes and toss them at soon-to-be-ex president George W. Bush?

Personally, I hope they give this outraged Iraqi journalist a medal of honor.

I could watch this over and over and over again. It's the feel good video of the year!

So much for the Iraqi people feeling grateful to Bush for all his "help" in straightening out their country and bringing democracy over there. Read the Washington Post's coverage of this incident.

Then check out Keith Olbermann's video report about Bush's legacy in Iraq and find out exactly what the journalist yelled at Bush. Apparently, being exposed to the sole of a shoe is a major insult in Iraq.

Frankly, it's not exactly a compliment in the U.S. either. Although that fact seems to be lost on clueless W.

Check out Top of the Ticket's Political Shoe Gallery. Could have been worse. Could have been a pair of Sarah Palin's Naughty Monkey red pumps! Click here to read the Sole Long, an editorial about footwear in politics.

Do Bush and Cheney deserve all this vitriol and criticism? Or was the shoe incident over the line?

I fell is an American journalist threw the shoes secret service would have shot him/her on sight. Especally after the shoe bomber 3 years ago. The young kid in Iraq was playing with his life and sadly he didnt know it.
