Political Cartoon #3

This week's political cartoon shows George W. Bush as a cat on a fence with a lot of shoes falling down on him. This represents the shoe-throwing incident that occurred during a news conference in Iraq. He was signing an agreement with Prime Minister Nouri Maliki when Iraqi journalist Muntadar Al-Zaidi took off his shoe and chucked in at the President yelling "this is a good-bye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog!" Bush managed to dodge the shoe, then he took off his other shoe and chucked that at Bush, this time yelling "this is for the widows and orphans and all those killed in Iraq!" Again, he dodged it, and it wasn't very long before Muntadar was tackled to the ground by security. President Bush joked that it was a size 10 shoe afterwards. I think that it was a little out of line to go that far during a international conference meeting but I have to admit, I was entertained and a little disappointed that he missed...twice.
