Normally, George Bush doesn't need any help to put his foot in it. However, at a news conference in Iraq today he was introduced to the sole of journalist Muntadar al-Zeidi's shoe as a thank-you for all of his good work building a new American oil base, er..., future for the country.
In Arabic culture to show someone the sole of your foot is the something like the equivalent of calling some a c**t in Britain. Hmmm...
Eds note - I will learn how to upload video to this blog asap.
Update 17th December 2008 - If it appeared Bush was just a little too good at ducking from those shoes, the reason is now clear, as shown in the footage below. He's been taking lessons from the Matrix Trilogy. So we now also know what he actually does all day. In addition, to feed your inner child, play Sock and Awe, Flying Babush or Bush Boot Camp.
