A Turkish shoe manufacturer is claiming that he makes the kinds of shoes that Muntader al-Zaidi threw at George Bush. Can't knock the hustle:
Still, Baydan says that demand for the shoe – now renamed the "Bye Bye Bush" model, wholesale price $27 – has been booming. Orders are coming from Iraq, other parts of the Middle East, and even the United States and Europe.
Sources indicate that tomorrow Bush will take credit for this boom in the Turkish economy.

Laura said today that she thought the shoe throwing incident was assault. An assault on the shoe maybe.
It is about the only economic improvement that Bush can take credit for.
She also said it was a positive sign…
How about tortured too…? Oh nevermind…
They need to rename the model 271 as The Turkish Flyer or Zinger, or something. How about Bushwhacker?
Must admit I want a pair and I remember my travels through Turkey…. leaving rather amazed at how many ugly shoes a country could make.
Too cool!
The goodness of Amer’ka shines through again.

A bronze shoe repleca for the Smithsonian Institute? A legacy that you can believe in.
