Remember the Iraqi “journalist” who threw his shoes at President Bush and became a hero to the left and to ungrateful Muslims everywhere? Well, I’m happy to report that Muntather al-Zaydi got what was coming to him on Tuesday — in the form of flying footwear.
An Iraqi journalist said on Tuesday that he threw his shoes at the famous Muntather al-Zaydi, a local TV reporter who threw a pair of shoes at former U.S. President George W. Bush at a press conference in Baghdad last year, during his visit to Paris.
“I threw my pair of shoes at al-Zaydi today (Dec. 1) during a conference while he was talking about his famous incident,” Seif al-Khayat told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
“His behavior with Bush caused Arab and Iraqi journalists to feel shame,” he explained, asserting that what he had done has noting to do with journalism and its important message.
That is too awesome. Kudos to Seif al-Khayat for a job well done.
