A grateful Iraqi uses his shoe to enthusiastically greet President Bush as a liberator (2008)

I still hate Bush, but credit where it's due: that was a good dodge.

(Actual photo context: Iraqi journalist, Muntadhar al-Zaidi, threw his shoe in a sign of extreme disrespect at George yelling "this is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, dog."

The greeting as a liberator bit is a callback to Dick Cheney's infamous "my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.")

Real talk: I'm still kinda pissed he was able to dodge them both.

And he Qasim never heard from again

Cultural differences

Granted, but now his foot's cold
