George, look out for that....shoe!
Apparently W. said he wasn’t frightened a bit by Muntazer al-Zaidi’s well aimed shoe attack. Isn’t that brave of him?! Cowardly dog al-Zaidi, however, probably shat himself when he was set upon by a dozen burly bodyguards leaving him with a broken hand and ribs, internal bleeding and an eye injury… plus a possible seven to 15 year prison sentence. Heckling politicians from freedom-loving countries can be risky business as the examples below prove.
Bill Clinton
Trying to put Billy in the corner? Looks like you need some fresh air my friend.
Condoleezza Rice
Urgh! What's that disgusting stench? Oh, it's just the smug camaraderie between Republican Senator Chuck Hagel from Nebraska and Condi Rice in a 2007 hearing that was supposed to grill her on the Bush Administration's plans for an expanded troop presence in Iraq. "It was a little heavy anyway. We needed a break," says Chuck as the protester is hauled out along the floor. The reference to Delaware is a dig at new Vice President Joe Biden who is from Delaware and was also at the hearing, mumbling something timidly about pulling troops out.
Bush... again
"We beleive in free speech in the United States of America," Bush says as the lady is dragged away by security. Old W. is one American with a firm grasp of irony.
And finally...
A number of reliable sources have told Don't Panic that al-Zaidi had just seen this presidential Christmas/farewell video before he entered the press conference, which is why he was so angry... and also why he yelled: "This is the farewell kiss,you dog." See if you can watch more than 30 seconds of this video without throwing up.
And finally, finally...
Condoleezza Rice got mad that she was left out and wanted to send her own Christmas message to Americans. She crazy.
