PARIS (AFP) - A protester who presented himself as an Iraqi journalist in exile hurled a shoe Tuesday at the colleague who one year ago found fame hurling his own footwear at then US president George W. Bush.
Television reporter Muntazer al-Zaidi was in Paris to promote his campaign for the "victims of the US occupation in Iraq" when a fellow Iraqi critic turned the tables on him, shouting: "Here's another shoe for you."
The thickset man with an Iraqi accent made a brief speech in Arabic during the question and answer session, defending US policy and accusing Zaidi of "working for dictatorship in Iraq," before throwing his shoe.
The missile was thrown hard at Zaidi's head, but he managed to dodge it and it bounced harmlessly off a curtain erected behind the speakers by the event's hosts, the Foreign Press Welcome Centre in Paris.

Hehehe... a little justice is nice.
I loved seeing the replay on the news of him throwing the shoes at W. W just ducked like a pro and laughed it off.
I mean...who throws a shoe? LOL

As citizens of the world, I think it is time for us all to put our best foot forward!
I’m glad to know that.
HA! Take that! Shoe throwing jerk!
So glad someone did that to him.
Wish it was a Bozo the Clown sized shoe though,
he deserved it.
Unlike Pres. B. He didn’t,not with any shoe, of any size!
