Bush gets statue in Iraq

[Robin Landseadel]

George Bush got his statue in Iraq after all.

	A sofa-sized statue of the shoe was unveiled Thursday in Tikrit,
	the hometown of the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

	Baghdad-based artist Laith al-Amari described the fiberglass-
	and-copper work as a tribute to the pride of the Iraqi people.

	The statue is inscribed with a poem honoring Muntadhar al-
	Zeidi, the Iraqi journalist who stunned the world when he
	whipped off his loafers and hurled them at Bush during a press
	conference on Dec. 14.

	In the Arab world, even showing someone the sole of a shoe is
	considered a sign of disrespect.
Heckuva job, George

Guess it's only fair to note that "they" dragged the statue away.
