Iraq's tribute to W


W hoped to leave a 'legacy' in Iraq.
Cheney continually predicted the Iraqis would erect monuments to W.

Well, it's happened:
Iraqi shoe hurler inspires art in Saddam hometown

BAGHDAD – When an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at George W. Bush last month at a Baghdad press conference, the attack spawned a flood of Web quips, political satire and street rallies across the Arab world.

Now it's inspired a work of art.

A sofa-sized sculpture — a single copper-coated shoe on a stand carved to resemble flowing cloth — was formally unveiled to the public Thursday in the hometown of the late Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein.
Maybe not what W & Cheney had in mind, but, hey! - it's art!... A case could be made that W & his minions did more for art in Iraq than in the U.S.

Sing a song!
