Former U.S. President George W. Bush + Chinese prime minister, Wen Jiabao = Shoes ... Today, A pro-Tibet campaigner / protester has thrown a shoe at Chinese prime minister, Wen Jiabao as he spoke at Cambridge University, England. Remember a similar incident where an Iraqi reporter - "Arab shoe-tossing journalist" - threw his shoes at former President George W. Bush during a news conference in Baghdad in December 2008.
Shoe-tossing is definitely not a polite or friendly gesture. Pandora's box is open. I see copycats, everywhere. I bet we all have one or two politician we would like to throw shoes at. Would you throw a shoe at Bush or Cheney or Wen Jiabao if given the chance? Or would you rather pull down your pants and bare your backside at them? Mind you, you definitely will be rugby tackled, rough handled, beaten (almost to death) by bodyguards, end up with a black eye, bruises, and thrown into prison for presidential assault. Would you take part in a "Throw Your Shoes At Politicians Day" if there was one?
There's no word yet as to the brand or type of shoe that was thrown at the Chinese Prime Minister. “Was it the left shoe or the right shoe?” I don't know. “What colour was the shoe?” I don't know. “Where can I get the shoes to buy?” I really don't know. I urge everyone to stop throwing cheap shoes at politicians.
