Video: Arab World Hails Bush Shoe Attack - But Who The Frak Throws Shoes?

SHOEGATE!
RIGHTWINGSPARKLE — Enough already. Do they have to show that clip on the news over and over and over and over? The news is reporting what the crazy journalist said (also over and over), but not what happened afterward. No surprise there. Like the fact that the Iraqi press corp apologized and said that he did not represent Iraqis. Like the fact that the other journalists in the room took off their shoes and beat the guy with them. Like the fact that this guy used to end his broadcasts for Al-Baghdadia television with "Live from occupied Baghdad." I suppose in a free Iraq they have their own Keith Olberman. No, all that most Americans will ...

Job offers to host Crossfire on Al-Baghdadia Television may be forthcoming. According to programming director Muzhir al-Khafaji, Zaidi is an "open-minded man." He now enjoys the accolades of the Arab world (while the restraining journalist next to him is reviled), and a note of sympathy has even crept into a few American reports on his deed. They report that he and his family have suffered much during the American occupation. Was Bush running the "risk" ...
