Somehow I doubt the validity of this statement. Actually - I doubt that you'll have the ability to make good on this campaign promise, if you will.
Not that I think Bush should have had a shoe thrown at him. Actually, scratch that.
If it had come from someone in a western culture, sure. I still probably wouldn't have been cool with it, but it's worse in this situation.
But we've already discussed that in Islam, the bottom of a shoe, and shoes in general, are considered dirty and insulting. That's where I think this incident is particularly bad.
