52. I have to confess to finding it sort of amusing.

I'm glad Bush wasn't hurt (I think), mainly because I don't want to feel sorry for him. I don't think Zaidi is a hero, but I can't blame him for being so angry toward Bush.

I keep thinking about how this would sit with me if it happened to any other president, and I think it would sit differently. I think Bush asks for a lot of the contempt people feel toward him. And the truly sad thing is, he brings shame on our country's head. It's shameful to have a president whom people think nothing of throwing shoes at, who is a magnet for insults and hatred. Bush brings shame on our heads. And he doesn't care.
