This political cartoon is making fun of the incident when a shoe (or rather pair of shoes) was thrown at President Bush. This shows how disliked our curent president is in the world and the extent people will go to to insult him. In this cartoon the many shoes being thrown at Bush represent the actual shoe that was thrown at him, but also they represent the much larger issue of his inadequacy in the role of President. It is important to note that Bush is not trying to dodge these shoes, but instead closing his eyes, cowering, and hoping for the best.

Nice cartoon. When I saw it the first time, I didn't get the same interpretation as you; but I can definitely see where you're coming from. Poor Bush. At least we'll be done with him soon haha
