Zaidi should have been hustled out of there and shot.

[DieHard the Hunter]

> His shoes, the official said, were being held as evidence.

Bags I they show up on e-Bay someday real soon. They ought to fetch a hi price with any muslim or Liberal.

Somebody with access to Iraq’s evidence locker is going to get really rich very soon...

[Moonman62]

He looked into his eyes and saw his “sole.”

[PasorBob]

Bush has freed more Arabs than anyone in history. They hate it.

[saganite]

You can’t shoet him without a fair trial. Then he can be shod at will.

[Edit35]

Zaidi obviously had no relatives or friends tortured or gunned down by Saddam Hussein.

[DieHard the Hunter]

> Zaidi should have been hustled out of there and shot.

Yeah right: instant martyr. Then you could guarantee the West would be in Iraq for at least the next 100 years.

[Niuhuru]

Not if we simply nuked them all.

Truman would have by now.

[jurroppi1]

he was actually kidnapped by Saddam’s henchmen...

[OKSooner]

Gotta hand it to W for the way he reacted to it - ducked quickly, and even seemed kind of amused at it. Can you imagine what Peanut or Zero would have done?

That was the cool George Bush - where has he been all these years?

"This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog. This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq."

YO MAMA!!

[InABunkerUnderSF]

Zaidi should have been hustled out of there and shot.

In the good old days maybe but Saddam isn't dictator anymore. Fine him $500, keep the shoes and spread the rumor that the authorities were being merciful in not revealing his public intoxication.

[Moose4]

Nah, that’s how Saddam would’ve done it...well, Saddam would’ve used a wood chipper, but you get the idea. We’re working on getting this whole concept of “rule of law” taking hold in Iraq, so let’s let Shoe Boy get tried under Iraqi law, by an Iraqi court, and do some time in a new Iraqi jail.

To think this is what passes as journalism these days...what are these asshats going to do when W isn’t there to mock anymore. They might even have to get an original thought...the horror of it all.

[CindyDawg]

even seemed kind of amused at it.

Yeah..I posted earlier that he responded like a man who had a pair of shoes thrown at him before:')

[Redbob]

Where was the Secret Service while this was going on???
Either of those shoes could have concealed explosives.

Why wasn’t that journalist shot dead on the spot???

[MEGoody]

Throwing shoes is particularly insulting in the Middle East

And to those in the U.S. it is idiotic.

[Redbob]

"That was the cool George Bush - where has he been all these years?"

Having lunch with his bud Teddy Kennedy.

[DYngbld]

Didn't he grow up with a house full of siblings? I suspect he learned that trait young. The smug look on his face was great. “you missed me try again”
