Bush dodges shoes


Recommended Posts



Apparently "shoeless" is in custody an faces a possible two year sentence for the incident. The Iraqi Police allegedly showed him some love while in custody and now he wasn't healthy enough to make his court appearance. :cop:

The guy is a damned folk hero in Iraq. Next thing you know he will be sponsored by Nike.

Funny you should say that...

 

 

Father offers daughter to shoe-thrower

 

CAIRO (Reuters) – An Egyptian man said on Wednesday he was offering his 20-year-old daughter in marriage to Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, who threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush in Baghdad on Sunday,

 

The daughter, Amal Saad Gumaa, said she agreed with the idea. "This is something that would honor me. I would like to live in Iraq, especially if I were attached to this hero," she told Reuters by telephone.

 

Her father, Saad Gumaa, said he had called Dergham, Zaidi's brother, to tell him of the offer. "I find nothing more valuable than my daughter to offer to him, and I am prepared to provide her with everything needed for marriage," he added.

 

Zaidi's gesture has struck a chord across the Arab world, where President Bush is widely despised for invading Iraq in 2003 and for his support for Israel.

 

Amal is a student in the media faculty at Minya University in central Egypt.

 

Zaidi's response to the proposal was not immediately clear.
