The Attack of the Iraqi Shoes

I reckon it was Tuesday morning when I heard Ted Failon over the DZMM radio when he said, who is that president who got thrown by a pair of shoes. I thought he was just having some kind of joke but it wasn't a joke, it’s real. That certain president was Pres.George Bush. While having a press conference in Baghdad, Iraq; a TV correspondent suddenly threw his shoe at him and said “This is your farewell kiss, you dog!". However, the correspondent missed Bush so he threw his other shoe at him but failed to hit the target. This was really funny. When I first heard of it, I thought an American was the culprit but it was actually an Iraqi and not just an Iraqi but a Iraqi correspondent. Now, the shoes are being sold for $10M. This just might be the most expensive shoes ever and it might even make it to Guinness.

Suddenly, some politicians have shared their concerns about the shoe throwing incident. It might just actually happen here, who knows. We never know, the palace might announce that reporters are banned from wearing shoes or slippers anymore during press cons.Because, one of them might just throw their shoes or worst all of them might throw their shoes. But some administration allies are confident it won't happen here.Well, we just have to wait and see. As we all know the country is trapped into a whirlwind of surprises.
