Iraqi Ambassador Blasts Shoe Throwing Idiot and his Code Pink Supporters…

I’m glad the ambassador repeated the point we made about how lucky the shoe thrower is that he threw shoes at George Bush and not Saddam Hussein…

It is amazing that folks like those at Code Pink would actually see nothing wrong with it, but then again, idiocy is a universal trait…

Ambassador Samir Sumaida’ie (thanks to Gateway Pundit)

Mr. Muntader al-Zaidi is very lucky that it was Mr. Bush and Mr. Maliki and not Saddam Hussein. Because, had it been Mr. Saddam Hussein he’d be (inaudible). Number 2, in our country, I know that people have told you that showing shoes at someone is an insult. But, it is a bigger insult to the host; in our culture anyone who insults a guest is insulting the host. So in our culture we believe that what Mr al-Zeidi did was reprehensible.

The video:

The anti-American Marxist front group Code Pink ambushed Iraq Ambassador to the United States, Samir Sumaida’ie, during a presentation in Washington on Tuesday.
They demanded that shoe-chucker and Sadrist Muntader al-Zaidi be released after his assault on President Bush.
The Code Pink blog described the showdown:

In D.C. this morning, the Iraq Ambassador to the United States, Samir Sumaida’ie, paused during a presentation to address a handful of women from CODEPINK who were holding signs in the audience reading “Free al-Zaidi” and “al-Zaidi speaks for me.” The signs were to show their support for the Iraqi journalist who was taken into police custody after throwing his shoes at President Bush during a Baghdad press conference on Sunday.

The Ambassador directly acknowledged the women’s presence in the audience. He called al-Zaidi’s act disgraceful and said the journalist was lucky that he didn’t try something like this under Saddam Hussein.

End Gateway Pundit

I think it is shameful that Americans are supporting a man who disrespected out country so blatantly, but then again, what do I know…
