President George Bush Gets Shoe Thrown at Him by Iraqi Journalist
This news has nothing to do with Indian Media though but it has great significant to it as the hero in this news is a media person whose identity has not been revealed yet.
An Iraqi TV Journalist was overpowered by security men when he hurled shoes on George W Bush twice.
President George W. Bush made a surprise appearance in Iraq yesterday. During a news conference with the Prime Minister of Iraq, a reporter threw both his shoes at Bush. Bush dodged both shoes, none of them hit him.
While he was throwing his shoes, he was yelling “This is the end”. Throwing a shoe in the Arab culture is a sign of great disrespect.
After Bush got attacked by the flying shoes he said, “I’m OK…All I can report is it is a size 10,” he jokingly said afterward.
Watch the video of Bush being attacked by the shoes. He’s got a quick reflex.
I’ll give him credit, those were good reflexes. at least he’s good at something, maybe he can join a dodge-ball team after our country un-employs him.
