Didn't some columnist say in '03 that they'd be erecting statues in Bush's honor in Bagdad squares after the war?

octothorpe- that's what I thought of too. Instead of tearing down the Saddam statue and building one of Bush or of the Statue of Liberty, they built one of a shoe that they threw at Bush. Kind of a nice commentary on the progress of the "liberation."

In any case, I love the laughing thumbs-up woman in the picture!

The laughing thumbs-up woman in the picture actually makes me wonder about how authentic the photo is. In a lot of eastern places the thumbs-up thing is a huge insult and/or a seriously pornographic suggestion. I think it's really, really, really unlikely that an Iraqi woman would be using that particular gesture.

The picture looks sort of fake.

And also, too: when did Obama become Bam?

Looks fake to me too (the lighting is weird, and it looks like the tree has been photoshopped in), but there are a lot of other pictures of it. Google News.

He didn't, goddamn it! It's obnoxious tabloid-speak, and it must be fought like the plague that it is. Don't allow these gossip-mongering, paper-pushing hack jobs to Wacko-Jacko our prez!

Calling Obama Bam sounds like a British newspaper thing. They seem to have nicknames for everyone.
