Iraqi Reporter throws Shoes at George Bush
This just in from our buddies at Pwned Video :
From the Associated Press article on the incident:
President George W. Bush ducked a pair of shoes hurled at his head – one shoe after the other - in the middle of a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Both shoes narrowly missed their target and thumped loudly against the wall behind the leaders.
“Don’t worry about it,” the president said as the room erupted into chaos. Iraqi reporters started shouting what Bush later explained were apologies for the incident. “So what if the guy threw a shoe at me?” Bush said, comparing the action to political protests in the United States. “If you want the facts, it was a size 10,” he joked.
The shoe attack came as Bush and al-Maliki were about to shake hands. The assailant – later identified as television correspondent Muntadar al-Zeidi - leapt from his chair and hurled his footwear at the president, who was about 20 feet away. “This is a farewell kiss, you dog,” he yelled in Arabic. “This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq.”
So the first thing that came to mind for me was Austin Powers, and the Random Task fight scene. Of course like all good ideas, someone, or many people have already thought of the same thing. Here are a couple of You Tube clips that have already hit the net :
There are a bunch more, but you get the idea.
Dude – Bush is wicked quick.
Dude! Nice dodges right there! Should become a boxer after he leaves the White House.
The sad thing is I dare these Iraqis to do something like this during the Hussein regime. Their heads would have been shoved up their asses instantaneously. Just to think that these idiots don’t realize that the United States gave them the freedom so they could do stupid stunts like this w/out fear of genocide against their entire religious sect due to one man’s stupidity.
Dude, Sadam was created by and empowered by USA against Iran, it is sad that people are driven to a point where they do not hesitate to insult the al mighty Bush.
In the name of WMD we have killed thousands on our side and millions on their side, you know what is sad, the one who have died are out of their misery but the ones are crippled they and their famlies are in misery for a long long time. Think what war can do! think what a unjustified war can do.!
