I do agree that this is over the line.

But I'm also slightly conflicted - why did I laugh when the Arabic reporter threw his shoe at Bush a few months ago? In retrospect, that event should have been just as inexcusable. What if Georgey wrote up a similar blog post about his experience? How would I have felt then?

Universally across human cultures, throwing a shoe is considered hilarious whereas spitting is considered is rude and gross.
