Deja vue: Perle -> Bush

It was deja vue of sorts for me as I watched this clip of Iraqi TV journalist Muthathar al Zaidi throwing both of his shoes at Bush.

Nearly 4 years ago Carla and I were at a Howard Dean v. Richard Perle debate when someone in the audience threw both of his shoes at Perle and, like al Zaidi, missed both times.

Speaking of Perle... he does seem lucid enough to understand that much more than the year which he'd predicted has passed and there is still no "George W. Bush Square" in Baghdad. But he still thinks that the Iraqis will name a grand square for Bush as thanks for all that Bush has done for them.
