Preznit Chimpy made a surprise final visit to Iraq, where he had a news conference with Prime Minister Maliki and had to duck a couple of shoes thrown at him from the audience. The shoes barely missed the Chimpster, who is only slightly less popular in Iraq than he is here at home. Understandably, he wanted to make a final trip there to soak up the gratitude.
Hitting someone with a shoe is considered a grave insult in the Arab world. Apparently the shoes were thrown by a journalist, who shouted "this is a farewell kiss, dog" before he was wrestled out of the room.
