George W Bush, on an unannounced visit to Iraq today, finally received the ultimate insult when an Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at the US president during a press conference.
All that can be said of this incident is that it’s long overdue. The man in stockinged feet deserves a medal.

I applaud the courage also, by the same token, his life as he knows it is probably over. Sad really, as it was a great aim and throw.
The “ultimate insult”? Bush was lucky, as always, that it wasn’t the “ultimate assault“.
