The president is not … um … liked – with good reason, of course.

Here’s our president at a press conference in Iraq this weekend getting a pair of shoes thrown at his head. I’ll say two things:

1. The Iraqi reporter who tossed his footwear has a cannon, and potentially a career in major league baseball (if he’s not rotting in some military prison somewhere).

2. For all his faults, President Bush does have cat-like reflexes. It must have been all that practice dodging those pesky things like laws and accountability.
