A soldier who lost both

A soldier who lost both legs in Iraq was denied entry to a Des Moines-area nightclub last week because the shoes he wore on his prosthetic legs were too casual, the Des Moines Register reported in a copyright story.

His wife told club employees that "those were the only shoes he can wear with his prosthetic legs," but they still were turned away.

What the hell did they want this guy to have on? Apparently Stuart Weitzman hasn't come out with a prosthetic "party" shoe yet, but when he does, I'm sure all the amputees will surely go out and buy them.

The nightclub should apologize IMMEDIATELY.
