political cartoon #4

This week's cartoon depicts an exaggerated version of the "shoe" incident. The man behind the podium is President Bush; and instead of being attacked by one shoe, he is being assaulted by tons of them. The caption at the bottom of the cartoon describes the emotions that many of us might have felt when we first witnessed the "shoe" spectacle.
While I, and many others, find this cartoon to be hilarious and good-natured fun, others may find it insulting. No one wants to have a shoe thrown at them. The fact that people all over the world are laughing at the event might lead some to believe that the former are making fun of America. Where do you stand? Do you find this comic insulting, or just plan funny. I, for one, can't stop laughing.
