Wishing the Iraqi shoe journalist had 18 feet, all of them shoed in Doc Martins

Disgusted Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi threw his shoes at President Bush. The act caused almost no outrage in the US, and the Arab world thinks al-Zeidi is a hero. Not even the Secret Service could be bothered to get off their asses until after al-Zeidi was overpowered by other journalists.

It seems that we all wanted to throw something at President Bush. The video is so cathartic that it cries out to be looped, over and over again.
