Wow Bush really *is* a uniter after all

A Palestinian boy holds a shoe with the word 'Bush' on it during a demonstration calling for the release of the Iraqi journalist Muntadar al-Zeidi in Gaza City, Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2008.

1. He united the world

against him.

2. At least it doesn't say "USA".

I'm very happy that he is taking the anger and not all of us. Obama's election is helping us out already.

3. The journalist has become a folk hero. The longer he's held, the worse it reflects on the boy king.

I saw "The House of Sadaam" & there were so many parallels to the boy king: my way or the highway, those who weren't loyal were punished, living lavishly while the poor did without, symbolism.

And the one Bush showed to the Iraqi tv viewers who saw the shoes hurled at him: the lie that "freedom" allowed this man to throw the shoes, while the man was being beaten, later tortured, for having done so.

4. Iraq and USA joined in sole. nt
