Shoe Thrown at Chinese Premier
China has reacted with indignation over an incident in which a shoe was thrown at its premier, Wen Jiabao. The actual incident was minmal in comparison to the backlash. The premier's reaction as well as China's media was exaggerated and contrasts with the incident back in December when an Iraqi journalist threw a shoe at former Pres. Bush at a press conference in Baghdad.

Yeah, it was definitely kind of weird how little attention the Bush incident got when he had shoes thrown at him. You would have thought it would have been a much bigger deal, but everyone seemed to laugh it off as a joke.
