Funny Bush Shoe Tee
United States President George W. Bush ducked a pair of shoes hurled at his head, one shoe after the other, in the middle of a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Both shoes narrowly missed their target and thumped loudly against the wall behind the leaders.
“Don’t worry about it,” the president said as the room erupted into chaos.
Iraqi reporters started shouting what Bush later explained were apologies for the incident.
“So what if the guy threw a shoe at me?” Bush said, comparing the action to political protests in the United States. “If you want the facts, it was a size 10,” he joked.

Will Obama make Hillary Clinton secy of state?
Check Out Hillary Clinton T-shirts and Gifts
Former Democratic competitor and first lady has emerged as a possible member of the cabinet
Speculation is rife about the possibility of Hillary Clinton becoming secretary of state in an Obama administration after Andrea Mitchell of NBC broke the news that she is under serious consideration.
At first blush such a move seems odd as the two fought such a ferocious battle during the primaries. The Democrats were so worried about the intensity of the campaign that they feared the two would damage each other irreparably in a political version of the Ali-Frazier "Thrilla in Manila" grudge match.
There is also the problem of Bill Clinton. Having Hillary in the Obama White House is one thing, but what about having Bill as an ex-president backseat driver? Could Bill resist meddling in presidential matters? Those are just some of the reasons the appointment might stretch credulity.
