The shoes had hardly left the hand of the Iraqi who tossed them at President Bush during the Baghdad press conference yesterday when the leftwing blogosphere began cheering him as some sort of hero. The incredible success of the Surge in Iraq has been very frustrating for the left. Along with Joe Biden they claimed that the Surge could never work. Problem was that it worked. That is why they have been so silent recently on the topic of the Iraq. The complete turnaround there has been much too embarrassing for them to mention Iraq very much...until now. The shoes tossed by that Iraqi journalist let loose a river of pent up frustration in the form of hailing the shoe tosser. Here is a sampling of the the reaction from the Daily Kos:

PING!
Could we air drop some shoes on Jan. 20th? About 100 pairs would do.
How do we know that this was an Iraqi reporter and not someone from the NY Slimes?
I bet the shoe thrower is a Sunni who misses his dear Saddam.
eff them. It has taken their media less than 4 years to totally forget what life in Iraq was like under Saddam Hussein and his murderous psychopathic family.
May America fart in their general direction ... when the last brave American has left Iraq.
My Syrian co-worker is positively gleeful over this.
How about a MILLION pairs of size 12, steel toe, combat boots?
I'm guessing it would've been along the lines of this...
Does this mean we get to throw shoes at any or all of the Drive-By Media?
LLS
Tell your Syrian co-worker that his country is going to be one of the next rat’s nests we clean out.
hailing the shoe tosser
Simple things for simple minds.Nothing to see here move along.
I have. Many times.
Of course the shoes missed, the journalist threw like a little girl.
THOSE WERE UDAY'S
Tune: "Those Were the Days"
Boy, the pranks Qusay would play!
Loved to gas the Kurds away.
But those rapes that wedding day--
Those were Uday's.
And you didn't dare complain
Or you'd gain a world of pain.
Mister, we could use a reign
Like that of Saddam Hussein.
Didn't need no polls to tell
Who would rule this living hell.
Gee, our old Iraq ran swell--
Those were the days!
Cool!
And I truly wish that the Secret Service would have popped a cap or 20 in the worthless scumbag’s ass. I have read the insane comments at DU. Those idiots are the most pitiful. I am sure that their keyboards were gooey with DNA over this.
Yeah, makes me wonder sometimes (in my less charitable moments) if we should have left them to wallow in their own filth.
If that reporter had tried that under Saddam, he would never have been heard from again. Now he’s a “hero” for tossing shoes at someone he knows won’t have his fingernails pulled out before placing him in a plastic shredder?
I guess now the MSM in Iraq is just like the one we have here.
