The 'Ol Soft Shoe...

In a new height for media cluelessness, when reporting on the Muntadhar al-Zeidi - George Bush shoe throwing incident in Iraq this week, a CNN anchor said: "We're still trying to get to the bottom of why someone would do this." Hmmm.... Let's see -

Could it have someting to do with the Bush regime's cherrypicking the intelligence to promote a totally unnecessary and massively destructive invasion and occupation of Iraq? Thousands of civilians dead? The country in ruins? The brutal civil war the invasion unleashed?

Perhaps we should look to what Muntadhar al-Zeidi said as he tossed the shoes?

"This is a farewell kiss, you dog," al-Zeidi yelled in Arabic as he threw his shoes. "This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq."

Why indeed?
