Shoe thrower beaten in custody No one insults Torturers-R-Us Bush without suffering for it
Iraq to "probe" custody abuse of shoe thrower Meantime The Lebanese television channel NTV, offered shoe thrower Mutander al-Zaidi a job saying "he will be paid from the moment the first shoe was thrown".
In Egypt a government-owned newspaper, praised Zaidi's actions saying that "Pelting the American president with shoes was the best way for expressing what Iraqis and Arabs feel toward Bush."
Iraqis rally in support of shoe throwerMutander al-Zaidi is now a hero to the entire Arab world, but Bush still fails to ask for his release from custody, confirming what everyone knows that Bush is a tiny-minded, mean-spirited dizzard
Iraqis show support for shoe thrower by hurling shoes at passing American vehicles "The flying shoe speaks more for Arab public opinion than all the despots/puppets that Bush meets with during his travels in the Middle East," said Asad Abu Khalil, a popular Lebanese-American blogger and professor at Stanislaus University in California.
Libya honors shoe thrower
Baghdad TV reporter throws shoes at Bush, calls Bush a dog The shoes were well thrown, which for once, allows us to say something good about Bush: the dog ducked well
Bush had the wit to suggest that the shoes were size 10. But lacked the humanity to ask for the release of his assailant.
Arab world hails shoe attack on Bush So much for deference to the "World's sole superpower"
