I can go along with the shoe throwing... but the burning in effigy thing is a little over the top.

MONTREAL — About 300 protesters outside a downtown hotel blew plastic horns, tossed shoes and burned George W. Bush in effigy Thursday as the former U.S. president spoke to a luncheon of the Montreal Board of Trade.

[I]nside the regal Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel, a relaxed-appearing Bush spoke with very few regrets about some of the most controversial moves of his presidency.

"I am confident that I made decisions based on principle, that I made calls as best I could, and I did not sell my soul," Bush told an audience of about 1,000 men and women at the $400-a-seat steak luncheon.

The speech, part of a cross-country tour organized in part to promote Bush's upcoming autobiography.... [..]"~~

Not to worry, George still has that old 'magic' -- he told the Canadians that he regretted standing in front of that "Mission Impossible" banner.

Heh, we all know it was "Mission Accomplished."

I bet Republicans just hate it when news stories like this pop up and remind everyone about Bush...when they're trying so hard to blame all his faults and the problems he caused on Obama and the Democrats.

But - those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

If he was ever worried about his legacy, this shoe throwing is one Bush legacy which will last forever -- along with invading and destroying a country that had done nothing to us -- an eternal reminder from Iraqis.

Must be hell, realizing that everyone else's memory is longer than your own.
