Black Political Thought: Iraqi Journalist Muthathar al Zaidi Throws his Shoes at President Bush During Press Conference

    Of course none of us wish he'd been hurt. However, I am more concerned about the fate of the shoe thrower than I am of him

    Roschelle, you are right. None of us wish he was hurt. The journalist has
    been detained. I am not sure what the Iraqi law enforcement will do to him.
    I suspect once this uproar dies down, he will be released. Bush is despised
    in the Middle East and this guy seems to be a hero to many.

    I could care less if Bush was hurt. If we were all lucky that pretzel would have done its job a couple years back. I am only happy that Bush did not get hurt because the journalist would have been black-bagged. As it is, the journalist is pretty much a hero to people all over, not just in the Middle East. That was the ultimate F U. It shows the frustration people feel, without physically injuring anyone. Even if the shoes connnected it would have just been a black eye. Which is exactly what he has given us, the American people.
