Footage of George W. Bush successfully ducking a couple of flying shoes during a press conference in Baghdad is making the headlines these days, and the media cannot stop talking about W’s incredibly quick reflexes and wondering how on Earth did the Iraqi journalist got away with throwing the second shoe.

Maybe the same way that the second plane managed to hit the WTC on 9/11? … or the same way that OJ Simpson got away with murder? … or just like Elizabeth Taylor managed to marry her 8th husband?

I am surprised though, that I have not read yet any speculation on the possible consequences of this incident. I mean, if the ‘authorities’ banned us from flying with a bottle of Evian after they found the London liquid-bombers, and make us spend hours queuing at airports for ‘security reasons’, will the Department of Homeland Security now ban shoes at press conferences altogether?

Maybe it’s time to open a sock shop!
