What would happen if during Obama's much ballyhooed speech to an unnamed Middle Eastern capitol, some doorknob in the masses hurled camel by-product at the President. A) Gross! B) Outrage. The press would be up in arms that some backwoods international would so insult our president and thereby insult our nation.
But a shoe is no different in Middle Eastern culture. The bottom of the shoe is as foul and fetid as dog droppings. Hence the launched loafer from Abdul Bin-Loco.For being the brunt of such an insult, Americans have divorced themselves from the lame duck and laugh uproariously at monologues by Leno and Letterman, Conan and Colbert.
We don't get it. We are hated. Our President was simply the best symbol to insult at the time. And we think it's comedy fodder.
Yawn.
