The Feb. 10, 2003 issue of the daily Croatian Daily Morning Leaf, publishes that U.S. President, George W. Bush and Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, wear the same model of Italian shoes.
Bush and Saddam have ordered three shoe models, worth something less than 1000 $ per pair, from the renown Italian manufacturer, Vito Antioli. They are made of thick, crocodile lather, and are all of black color. So they now have three, exactly the same, pairs of this footwear.
Antioli states that he was surprised noting that he had orders for the same shoe models coming from George Bush and Saddam Hussein. Although he is manufacturing shoes for celebrities for many years, owing to the present state of world affairs, he has found to be a bit unusual to manufacture shoes of the same model for this two statesmen.
There is an old Chinese proverb that says: Look what those around you eat and you will understand their true nature.
Perhaps the same goes for their tastes and the shoes they wear.
