Iraqi Journalist Hoping To Become Keith Olbermann’s Co-Host Throws Shoes at George Bush…

I guess it’s not only in the US media that loonies exist, seems the Middle Eastern press has a fair share of them too, such as this journalist who decided that throwing his shoes at George Bush were a perfectly acceptable expression of journalistic impartiality.

The good news is that when he is released from Jail, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann shall offer him a  Co-host position or at the very least a spot as the host of the Show’s Middle Eastern desk…

The reporter who lost his mind is Muntazer al-Zaidi of Al-Baghdadia. As the US President was giving a talk in Nuri al-Maliki’s private office, a journalist sitting in the third row jumped up, shouting: “It is the farewell kiss, you dog,” and threw his shoes one after the other towards Bush.

I think Muntazer is an idiot. If bush is a dog, what would he have called Saddam Hussein? In fact, if he had merely stood up to condemn Saddam, he would hav ebeen taken outside and summarily executed. How ungrateful people are, and how soon they forget.
