Embedded video from CNN Video
A man identified as an Iraqi journalist threw shoes at — but missed — President Bush during a news conference Sunday evening in Baghdad, where Bush was making a farewell visit. Bush ducked, and the shoes, flung one at a time, sailed past his head during the news conference with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in his palace in the heavily fortified Green Zone. The shoe-thrower — identified as Muntadhar al-Zaidi, an Iraqi journalist with Egypt-based al-Baghdadia television network — could be heard yelling in Arabic: “This is a farewell … you dog!” You can read the complete story here
I would say that judging by the quick reflexes exhibited by the President he has had a shoe thrown at him before most likely by his mother. Ducking a shoe is like riding a bicycle you don’t forget how to do it. What is sad is that getting the shoe is like getting the finger. So I guess George W was told to get fu–ed by the Iraqi media. All this while he was on his farwell tour of Iraq.
As funny as the idea of a shoe being thrown at George “W.” Bush is this man just may go to jail for the rest of his life if not worse.
