Iraqi Shoe Thrower Hogs the Headlines
Somebody should congratulate US President George W. Bush for his quick reflexes in ducking two shoes hurled at him during a press conference in Iraq.
The assailant, an Iraqi TV reporter named Muntadhar al-Zeidi, tried to hit Bush with his shoes, but missed on both occassions. Nobody was quite sure what triggered al-Zeidi (not to be confused with al-Qaeda), but reports said that disdain over the US occupation of Iraq prompted the journalist to fire the leather missiles.
