    And here's the inevitable Bush-Austin Powers mashup:

    PS Apologies to Orlando for the "you fight like a woman" bit. Seems to be a continuing subtext to these shoe throwing episodes. From a previous thread:

    They kicked [the shoe thrower] and beat him until “he was crying like a woman,” said Mohammed Taher, a reporter for Afaq, a television station owned by the Dawa Party, which is led by Mr. Maliki.

    Real men aren't afraid to throw shoes.

    If he fought like a woman, the shoe would have connected and he would have escaped.

    People think that there are so many more men in prison because more men commit heinous acts. You keep thinking that and we'll keep getting away with it.
