Thrown Shoes Hit Sales Record
While Iraqi reporter and pitcher, Muntadar al-Zaidi, awaits trial the BBC reports that sales for the brand of shoe that was hurled at President Bush have skyrocketed. There is no word as to the reason for the sudden increase in sales but insiders say that the Lame-Duck President has been practicing weaving and ducking should anyone else hurl over his performance as Commander and Chief.
Muntadar al-Zaidi's trial is set for December 31, 2008 where he faces up to 15 years for "aggression against a foreign head of state" which the BBC reports could be reduced to a lesser charge of "attempted aggression" (I didn't make that part up). No one was injured during the attack except for the shoe-wielding assailant. Muntadar al-Zaidi's brother told BBC reporters that he has been abused in detention and plans to file a legal suit over his injuries.
The scheduled trial date was specifically selected to provide Christmas cheer and entertainment to Black Water thugs.
Since a number of individuals including al-Zaidi have referred to Bush as a dog, the Obama's are reconsidering the adoption of a new White House mutt and may elect to keep George Walker Bush instead.

Update, On Monday Dec 15th, CNN reported that Al-Zaida was still in custody and was possibly facing charges for throwing shoes in the vicinity of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, not for hurling footware at Bush.
