Iraq: I'm Sure the Shoes Were Filled with Flowers
Sunday, December 14, 2008 at 20:57
A quick word on the "Iraq Journalist Throws Shoes at President Bush" incident:
When Douglas Feith, the Assistant Secretary of Defense and one of the geniuses behind the Iraq invasion, was asked in 2005 why Iraqis did not greet their American liberators with flowers, he replied, "“But they had flowers in their minds.”
So I look forward, on the Bush Farewell Tour, to the explanation that the shoe-throwing journo was expressing his thanks when he said, "This is a goodbye kiss, you dog."
