W dodges shoes thrown at him
BAGHDAD – On an Iraq trip shrouded in secrecy and dissent, President George W. Bush on Sunday hailed progress in the unpopular war that defines his presidency and got a size-10 reminder of opposition to his policies when a man hurled shoes at him during a news conference.
“This is the end!” shouted the man, 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.
“All I can report,” Bush joked of the incident, “is a size 10.”
I wonder if there is video of this.
Edit:Â Video found [thanks, Nathan!]
Why would you want to lose a perfectly good shoe.
