Iraqis Shower Bush With Free Shoes
GEORGE Bush is offered a free pair of shoes and the Washington Post reports today:
Iraqis demonstrated in the streets Monday demanding the release of the journalist who hurled two shoes at President Bush during a press conference on Sunday, as Arabs across the Middle East hailed Bush’s assailant as a hero who reflected their anger at American policies.
It is not until the 9th paragraph that the Washington Post reports that the only ones protesting in support of al-Zaidi are the followers of anti-American Iranian-backed extremist Muqtada Al-Sadr who holds a minority of influence in the Iraqi Congress.
The Sadrist block holds only 30 seats in the 275 member Parliament.
Still – an attack where no-one got hurt seems like good news…
