Sadly obligatory "Iraqi journalist throws shoe at Bush" post
In case you didn’t see it this weekend, here’s the clip of an Iraqi reporter doing what the unhinged American left wish they could.
An Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes and an insult at George W. Bush, without hitting him, as the US president was shaking hands with the Iraqi premier at his Baghdad office on Sunday.As the two leaders met in Nuri al-Maliki’s private office, a journalist sitting in the third row jumped up, shouting: “It is the farewell kiss, you dog,” and threw his shoes one after the other towards Bush.
Maliki made a protective gesture towards the US president, who ducked and was not hit.
The journalist, Muntazer al-Zaidi from Al-Baghdadia channel which broadcasts from Cairo, was frogmarched from the room by security staff, an AFP journalist said.
Soles of shoes are considered the ultimate insult in Arab culture. After Saddam Hussein’s statue was toppled in Baghdad in April 2003, many onlookers beat the statue’s face with their soles.
Some Iraqi journalists stood up to apologise.
The White House said Bush ducked to avoid the first shoe, while the second narrowly missed the president.
Of course, this “journalist” tool doesn’t take the time to think that after America deposed their brutal dictator (y’all remember Saddam, they guy who routinely had his own people brutally raped and tortured), we peacefully handed the country back to Iraq’s citizens after their liberation. And we’ve done the same in Kuwait, Germany, Japan, Italy, Grenada, Haiti, et al.
But the asshats at Daily Kos, Democrat(ic) Underground, and Huffington Post are never ones to let facts get in the way of their Bush Derangement Syndrome (I won’t link these degenerates, but their vile rants aren’t hard to find).
“Is the Iraqi reporter eligible for a Pulitzer?”“Find out who it was the guy deserves a medal of honor.”
“I would love to throw something at Bush.. not a shoe though.. maybe a brick.. or cinder block.”
“Shall we say thank you Al-Jazeera?”
“The next time you see Bush’s motorcade rush by, don’t let anyone keep you from giving him your shoe, too…”
“does anybody know the name and address of the man who threw the shoe? I’d like to buy him a new pair and throwing lessons.”
“F—ing shame he missed.”
“Too bad Shrub didn’t get his teeth knocked out, that guys a true hero!”
“*sigh* why can’t anyone ever hit their targets? is it asking too much too see Bush hit in the face with a shoe, or Coulter with a pie, or Rove with flaming poo?”
“I soooooo wish I could throw something at the idiot too.”
But don’t question their patriotism, right?

UPDATE: via jcrue – “The silver lining here is that the journalist did not have his arms broken, was not put into a wood chipper, his family was not gathered and executed, and he was not thrown from the roof of the palace (one of Saddam’s former palaces to be certain) in which the press conference was held.
Unlike under previous administrations in Iraq. Thanks to President Bush.”
