Our favorite YouTuber Hunter Walk reports that 62 of the top 100 most viewed videos on popular video-sharing site YouTube today involve our President and his Sole Mate, the shoe-hurling Iraqi journalist Muntather Zaidi.
Now blogger Robert Scoble points out that late-night funny man David Letterman used the incident to lob Internet shoe vendor Zappos.com another kind of projectile: a free plug.
