Do Iraqis think Bush is that big a "heel?"

I know, everyone's seen it. The "shoe-icide" attacker Muntader al-Zaidi hurling his shoes at President Bush. The 29 year-old journalist is still in custody in Iraq, to whom no one is sure. For his part, President Bush brushed off the incident saying something the effect that he saw the man's "sole." But one question: Where was the Secret Service? Aren't they trained to take a shoe for the President?

And after 8 years of(as Garrison Keilor calls him) the Current Occupant, Shouldn't everyone send a shoe to the White House? Nike, Florsheim, Hush Puppy or Keds, it wouldn't matter, the point would be made...no?
