An Iraqi journalist, Muntadhar al-Zaidi, launched his shoes like heat-seeking missiles at President Bush‘s noggin while shouting: “This is a goodbye kiss, you dog!” But Bush, wily as ever, ducked the onslaught, which has already blown up into a viral video for the ages.
The incident took place at a press conference in Baghdad over the weekend. Zaidi was quickly wrestled to the ground and taken into custody, and is now facing testing for drugs and alcohol. Gee, could it be that he’s just on some serious anger? After-all, Reuters says the botched war has killed more than a million Iraqis since 2003. Regardless, Bush joked: “I don’t know what the guy said, but I saw his sole.”
Apparently, no death toll is big enough to hinder our president’s stellar sense of humor. [Source: Huffington Post, CNN]

shameful-that guy who threw the shoe should go to jail-the war has NOT killed a million people and the Huffington post is for a bunch of misinfromed, mean spirited, socialist liberals
