Not a "Sole"

from NYTimes:

Just one day after it was unveiled, a giant fiberglass and copper shoe honoring the Iraqi journalist who flung his oxfords at George W. Bush during the former president’s final visit to Iraq was removed by government order on Friday, local officials told CNN.

The Baghdad artist Laith al-Amiri had installed his 8-foot-long sculpture on the grounds of an orphanage in Tikrit, Saddam Hussein’s home town, intending to celebrate the courage of Muntader al-Zaidi, the 29-year-old journalist who took off both of his shoes and rifled them at Mr. Bush on Dec. 14.
