Oh my God! Give that a bloody Nobel Price or something! He's just THE Man of the year ^^
"George Bush narrowly avoided being hit in the face today by a pair of shoes hurled by an angry Iraqi journalist who called the outgoing President a dog during a farewell visit to Baghdad.
The attack highlighted the contempt felt by many Iraqis for Mr Bush, whose presidency will be defined by his decision to invade Iraq, a move that brought down Saddam Hussein but also destroyed the lives of tens of thousands.
Displaying quick reactions, the incumbent President ducked as the size 10 missiles hurtled over his head, one after the other, at a joint press conference with Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi Prime Minister, in Baghdad’s Green Zone.
Mr Maliki stuck out a hand to try to block the second shoe.
"This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog," shouted the journalist, Muntazer al-Zaidi, before he was bundled from the room by security staff.
Throwing shoes is particularly insulting in the Middle East. A crowd of Iraqis used shoes to whack a toppled statue of Saddam after the 2003 invasion. "
