How Did We Miss This…?
This happened back on December 2nd. Any guesses as to why we didn’t see this all over our media?
Muntazer al-Zaidi – who became a national hero in Iraq after hurling his footwear at the then US president last year – was speaking at a press conference to promote his campaign for victims of the Iraq war when a man threw a shoe at him. Zaidi ducked and the shoe hit the wall behind him. Film footage showed that a scuffle then broke out in the audience. “He stole my technique,” Zaidi said afterwards.
Not to worry, Munty. There are a lot of people who’d want to practice your technique if you would be the target.

side question – why does the video have a youtube watermark? I know it came FROM youtube, but when I convert youtube videos, that watermark doesn’t exist..

I can’t decide if this is karma or just irony.

In Bush’s case, he saw the projectile coming and ducked it.
In this guy’s case, the other idiot simply missed while he sat there like the stupid sitting duck he really is.
