Egyptian Protesters Throw Shoes at Hillary Clinton, Chant "Monica!"
In America, we might not respect our politicians, but at least we respect our shoes. Can you imagine someone throwing $90 Nike's at President Obama? Not in this economy. But in the Middle East, they must be up to their ankles in shoes.
Back in 2008, George W. Bush was pelted with a shoe by an Iraqi journalist. I guess protestors in Egypt wanted to prove that shoe-throwing is a non-partisan activity because they let Hillary Clinton's motorcade have it this weekend…
Egyptian protesters threw tomatoes and shoes at U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's motorcade Sunday and shouted, "Monica, Monica, Monica" as she left the newly reopened U.S. Consulate in Alexandria.
They chanted "Monica, Monica, Monica"? Don't they know Monica Lewinsky is like Beetlejuice? Chant her name three times and she shows up and gets you impeached.
Maybe we're jumping to conclusions. It's possible they were referencing Monica from Friends. Even a sitcom character is more respected in the Middle East than anyone involved in American politics.

Tworld News: Week of February 22, 2011
Between Tworld News and Tweet the Press with Witstream, your dream of a Twirlfriend suddenly seems plausible.

Crisis averted; anybody who's anybody knew this whole 'turmoil in the Middle East' thing was a fluke.

Jon Stewart on Fox News's Reaction to Egypt
As Jon Stewart noted on last night's Daily Show, Fox News's Brian Kilmeade awarded credit for the Egyptian revolution to President Bush and Tony Blair. But that's ridiculous. Bush and Blair are only partially responsible for Mubarek's resignation along with Ronald Reagan, Milton Friedman, Paul Revere and President Bob Dole, now serving his eleventeenth term in an alternate dimension.
