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!

I always thought that the best thing Bush could have done was to have caught the stupid shoe and walked over and just beaten the guy unconscious with it, and simply then kicked him out of the room - no jail, just the public ridicule and humiliation of having had his ass personally whipped by Bush with his own shoe.

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.

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.
