PARIS – The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush in Baghdad last year had a taste of his own medicine Tuesday when he nearly got beaned by a shoe thrower at a news conference in Paris.
Muntadhar al-Zeidi ducked and the shoe hit the wall behind him.
"He stole my technique," al-Zeidi later quipped.
The identity of the new shoe-thrower — and his motivation — weren't immediately clear, but he appeared to be an Iraqi. It was not known if the intruder was a journalist or just pretended to be one to attend the news conference at a center for foreign reporters.
Whatever his motive, the confrontation didn't stop there.
Al-Zeidi's brother, Maithan, chased the attacker in the audience and — what else? — pelted him with a shoe as he left the room. (lmao)
see the action here....enjoy !!

where's your other shoe?
i read that other iraqi journalist didn't agree with the way of Muntazer when he broke his pen as a journalist and used his shoe against Bush. but that doesn't mean that he must use his technique!!!!
some people think that Bush didn't forget laughs at him when muntazer threw his shoe at him, so he sent his man.
but i don't know, if it is true that means Bush is humiliating himself more and more.
For me , i have one shoes to go to work ,hanging out, play , sleep..etc ;) i can't throw it at anyone but please don't motivate me :D , lolz

"It could be a picture
It could be a medicine
it could be a bullet
depends on how you see it
But it is not a cultural ignorance
and it is not blind following ....
He is lucky in this time around when the shoes could be a hand granade. Can we now decorate the other shoe thrower this time.
both were iraqi journalists...
I support what Iraqi journalist did.

Its always TIT FOR TAT...
Wasn't Muntadhar sentenced to serve something like 3 years in prison? It seems a bit early for him to be giving press conferences...
how did he miss?? lol...
