AP: Baghdad-based artist Laith al-Amari built a fibreglass-and-copper monument in honor Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at Bush during a news conference. The sofa-sized shoe statue was unveiled Thursday in Tikrit, the hometown of the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

The reporter was a big fan of Saddam. Now he's a hero to the left.

Try that under Saddam...you'd end up in a plastic shredder.

And so it was that the shoe became the symbol of resistance against an oppressive empire...

Instead, under Bush's puppets, he only got beaten so badly that nobody was allowed to see him for weeks.

Ain't you progressive.

Turns out the shoe was taken down one day after it was erected.

Ah, Freedom. How do you like it, Iraq?
