Muslim reporter hurls shoes at President Bush

[News Flash]

BAGHDAD – On an Iraq trip, President George W. Bush hailed progress in the war when a Muslim news reporter abruptly hurled two shoes at him during a news conference.

"This is a farewell kiss, you dog!" shouted the protester in Arabic, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

Bush ducked both shoes as they whizzed past his head and landed with a thud against the wall behind him.

"It was a size 10," Bush joked later.

That's one shoe throwin' Shi'itehead! But the Prez showed some pretty good moves ducking those shoes!

The President had cat like reflexes. Not once but twice. He must have ruled at dodgeball in gym class.

If Bush had a pair of shoes in his hands, I think he would have thrown them back!!! :snicker:
