Raining Shoes?!

I just heard that Wen Jiabao, the Chinese Premier, was heckled February 2, while delivering a speech about the world economy at Cambridge University in England. A protester threw his shoe! Fortunately, he missed the Premier by several feet. The man was apparently upset about Chinese policy towards Tibet. The man shouted:

“How can the university prostitute itself with this dictator? How can you listen to these lies?”


Before throwing his shoe and his forcibly being removed. I think that Wen Jiabao handled the situation with much more class than George W. Bush did. He said:

“This despicable behaviour cannot stand in the way of friendship between China and the UK.”


I got to admit I'm floored by the way people are choosing to protest these days.
