Only president in history to have shoes thrown at his head by a journalist!
An Iraqi journalist interrupted (and highjacked) the coverage of Bush's PR/bullshit event, by throwing both his shoes (one after the other!) at our idiot-leader shouting (in arabic), ""This is a gift from the Iraqis. This is the farewell kiss, you dog, This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq."
He missed, but the point is made; our president is a disgrace. One less piece of heraldic footage for the Bush archives. When the assailant bends down and comes up the second time, who knows what he may have in his hand, but Bush just stands there like a fucking idiot as if someone was reading 'My Pet Goat.' And look at those lightning-fast reactions of the secret service.
Bonus: In the confusion, soulless spokesbitch Dana Perino got hit with a microphone and has a black eye.
Ingenious... everyone can get shoes through security. People could have been hitting the fucker for years. Well done! Give this guy the Nobel prize. The shoes should be bronzed and put in a museum.
As expected, because a hopeless dickhead lost a little face, journalist Muntadar al-Zaidi > has been beaten in custody, suffering a broken hand, broken ribs and internal bleeding, as well as an eye injury... which will do so much to repair Bush's miniscule self-respect.
For what it's worth, the abuse of this journalist while in custody will go a long way towards making him a bigger hero than he already is.
