Iraqi Journalist Throws Shoe At Bush: Bush Dodges Artfully

"An 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 premier at his Baghdad office on Sunday.

As the two leaders met in Nuri 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 Bush.

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, an AFP journalist said."

I must say, Bush handled the insult well. Like a PRESIDENT. Just a dodge, a duck and done. Good on him.

Question... how do we know this guy is Iraqi? Mohammed Atta was from Egypt.
