OMG SHOES!!
Take THAT!

AND ANOTHER!!
Like some 80% of the U.S. (and all of Iraq apparently) this made me laugh and and praise the journalist who did it. I mean, how awesome is that? After Reagan's shot in the chest from a journalist outside that hotel they've been thoroughly screening every single reporter before getting to be near the president. .....But they didn't think they were going to throw a shoe at him! LOL! That tells you how much they really know or care about the culture of the country we invaded for no good reason.
When I heard about this, I watched it over and over again and I immediately made it my Yahoo icon, LOL.
You can even play a presidential shoe toss GAME!
And now they're talking about throwing the guy in prison for a couple years. The Cairo-based reporter, Al-Zaidi, has admitted "aggression against a president" and has since has been tortured and has his hand broken while in custody, according to his brother as reported by Al Jazeera. As he hurled the footwear at America's least popular president ever he said, "It is the farewell kiss, you dog!" [Source]. This came not a moment after Bush assured the attendees that his unpopular war in Iraq would soon be won.
I've gotta give soon-to-be ex-President Bush props for ducking that shoe so deftly.



If only it had been a reporter who wore stiletto heels, and hit him dead on in the forehead with the heel. That would be funny and satisfying.
