Journo hurls shoes at Bush, calls him 'Dog'...

Well.... I know that this news is a stale one... but while surfing 'YouTube', i came across this video (courtesy :: Al-Jazeera). I wanted y'all to enjoy it too.

US President George W Bush being hit with shoes by an Iraqi journalist Muntazir-Al-Zaidi.



The 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 Prime Minister Noori-Al-Maliki at his Baghdad office today.

As the two leaders met in Noori-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 Mr Bush.

Mr 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, a witness said.

Some Iraqi journalists stood up to apologise. Mr Bush said: “Thanks for apologising on behalf of the Iraqi people. It doesn’t bother me. If you want the facts, it was a size 10 shoe that he threw.”

Enjoy guys !!!
