Iraqi Throws Shoes At Bush (video)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')cClatchy reports that the man who hurled his shoes at Bush during his press conference was an Iraqi journalist. CNN notes that this is considered an insult among Muslims.

An Iraqi television journalist hurled two shoes at President Bush on Sunday during a joint news conference Bush was holding with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki to mark the signing of a U.S.-Iraq security agreement.

Bush had just finished his prepared remarks in which he said the security agreement was made possible by the U.S. surge of troops earlier this year, when the journalist, Muthathar al Zaidi pulled his shoes off and hurled them at the president. "This is a goodbye kiss, you dog," Zaidi shouted.

He just bought himself a one-way ticket to a secret syrian torture prison.

Ive got a better Idea, why dont we throw the book at this guy when he comes back to the states. Patrick Fitzgerald would be a good choice for that job.

Where is the crack-squad of shoe-checking TSA goons when you need them?

[Fishman]

Ah, the good old days when Saddam would have torture the journalist and buried him in an unmarked grave. Bush frees his sorry a&& country and then does this crap.

[dorlomin]

So wont the secret service take a shoe for bush?

[niknak]

They should put those whoes in his presidential library.

I learned the plural possisive of security agents from that article.

A pack of dogs.

A route of wolves.

A warren of wombats.

A company of moles.

A passel of hogs.

A Bloat of hippopotami.

A scrum of security agents.

A clan of hyenas.

Anyway, there goes the very last Republican president. Thank God.

The idea that Bush could have been sporting a black eye from the shoe thrower gives me a chuckle.

Where's Richard Reid when you need him?

Bush is still in great physical shape, with his biking exercise regime. Obama is 20 years younger and in even better condition because of his basketball exercise regime. I'm sure Obama would've handled that situation even better then Bush did.

[Heineken]

Other than the slur on dogs, this was a highlight of the long Bush nightmare. Allah praise the shoe thrower!

[ColossalContrarian]

The guy is a hero in the Arab World.

Nobody, anywhere in the world has the cahonas this guy has.

Secret Service was disturbingly slow to react. This guy had time to make epithets AND launch two shoes -- one at a time. You'll notice it was an Arab-looking reporter who reacted first, putting himself between the President and the shoe-thrower.
