Payback: Iraqi statue of giant shoe honors attack on Bush

By GottaLaff

Richard Perle, 2003:

A year from now, I’ll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush.

He was close:

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

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

The statue also has inscribed a poem honoring Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the Iraqi journalist.

Al-Zeidi is the man who threw the shoe at Bush.

Some stories don't require snarky punch lines.
