The ultimate Bush memorial is now in Iraq: a statue of a shoe in Tikrit, hometown of the late Saddam Hussein.

It's large, bronze, and a fitting tribute to the shoes thrown at Bush in his waning days. 

And while it was just announced that the shoe was coming down (some democracy that is), we still want to honor its memory.

Normally, in Caption This, we ask to say what the person is thinking. But here we have a shoe. So you have to pretend the shoe can talk.

But what would the shoe say if it could speak?

"I am finely crafted and I have to be associated with this clown." "Try throwing a huge bronze shoe at Bush." "Unlike Bush, I at least have sole."

So give us your reaction if you were the shoe on display in Iraq.
