Code Pink Holds Farewell Kiss Shoe-In Protest in Berkeley

Code Pink is having yet another Bush/war protest today. This time they're using the shoe -- made popular last week by Iraqi journalist Muntader al-Zaidi, who hurled his footwear at President Bush during a press conference -- as the central theme. The protest, it practically goes without saying, is happening in Berkeley this afternoon.

There is also a protest going on in front of the Washington D.C. today, where shoes are being placed in front of the White House, Princes Di-style.
