But the dark side of this story, which isn't a joke, is that al-Zaidi has suffered severe beatings in police custody. Hopefully, with Bush out of the White House, Obama will press for reforms to create a more democratic Iraq where these sorts of abuses are less commonplace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423725371920868922.post-55805790606913814052008-12-15T22:42:00.000-05:002008-12-15T22:42:00.000-05:00I think Andrew might have been kidding, at least p...I think Andrew might have been kidding, at least partly, but I will leave it to him to clarify his remarks!<BR/><BR/>I still give Bush high marks for good reflexes. It's one thing to know you have to duck, another to duck just at the right moment. And all that while keeping that idiotic smirk on this face.

Bush may even have known(if he even cared) that there were threats against him, and he must have known that he would face at least some opposition to his presence there. But that doesn't add up to knowing that this journalist was going to throw shoes at him. Judging by the video, I have a feeling that Mr. Zaidi was planning <B><I>something</I></B> but the act itself was more or less spontaneous.<BR/>Anne GAnne Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045500116098233731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423725371920868922.post-88785878238530052482008-12-15T14:01:00.000-05:002008-12-15T14:01:00.000-05:00Call me a conspiracy theorist, but if you watch th...Call me a conspiracy theorist, but if you watch that footage very carefully, it almost seems like Old Dubya saw that shoe coming.
