| Saudi offers $10m for Iraqi reporter's 'farewell gift' to President Bush |
| 2008-12-16 |
| The shoes thrown by an Iraqi journalist at United States President George W Bush in Iraq on Sunday has gained 'immortal fame', a private TV channel reported on Monday. According to an Arab TV channel, a Saudi citizen has offered $10 million to buy the shoes thrown at the US president by TV reporter Muntazeral Zaidi who was detained after being accused of a 'barbaric act' by the Iraqi government. Thousands of Iraqi citizens protested for Zaidi's release, calling him a national hero. Earlier, the US president had said, "I don't know what the guy's cause is, I didn't feel the least bit threatened by it." |

| #11 Duh, Bushies seem unaware that Bush-the-genius is only weeks away from positioning himself on Boards of companies that eat Saudi crap. His family has delivered a fiduciary relationship with the Wahabi terrorist entity for 3 decades. |

| #8 Actually I feel bad I wrote what I did above. All Saudi people don't deserve to be tainted by the actions of this man. We have plenty of liberal idiots in this country who probably take glee in this as well. Besides, I am amused by the fact that they are using this man as their poster-child. He missed. Twice. Can you think of any greater symbol of their impotence him allowing Bush to show off his quick reflexes and then just dismiss this reporter with the wave of his hand as an insignificant fool. |

| #7 proving, again, that Suadis are incapable of behaving in a manner consistent with a civilized society. They deserve the sh*tholes they live in. |

| #5 Allegedly, the shoe thrower ended up in the room next to the press conference, and before it was over, "was loudly screaming and crying like a baby." Now, in custody, he is alleged to have several broken ribs and a broken arm, and has been turned over to the Americans who feared that the Iraqis would beat him to death. No word on his shoes, other than he is probably not wearing any, and won't for quite a while, unless they are US provided Keds (made in China). |
