An Iraqi man famous for throwing shoes at US President George W Bush in 2008 has come under fire in a similar attack.
Jounalist Muntadar al-Zaidi was speaking at an event in Paris when the incident happened. Andy May has the details.

Was it, as Ed Sullivan used to say “a really big shoe”?
Live by the wingtip, die by the wingtip.
What goes around, comes around, hahaha!
He's a Sole Man...
Hope that gets looped and ran on the main stream media for days. Nah, won’t happen.
Now for the rest of the story:
“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.”

I’m sure this “thickset man” would also give a big shoutout to President Bush and his courageous troops!
Wonder if any of our news will show it at all!
LOVE IT!!! Thanks!
The left would have lost their minds of course (again???), but the average Arab would have “gotten it” immediately, and most of them would have loved him for it - even if only in secret.
that was ‘delishoes’...
Shoe Karma at its best
LOL! Good one.
Shep just showed it on Fox.
This guy is going to do a lot of sole searching after this incident.
He should have been shot dead when the second shoe was in the air. Talk about a security lapse. We take off our shoes at the damned airport because of a shoe bomber, but this guy gets a pass and is a hero? Sick.
