With outgoing US President George W. Bush increasingly worried about history’s take on his catastrophic “legacy”, reporter Muntadar al-Zaidi, of Al-Baghdadia TV was in no doubt when he hurled his shoes at the worlds most dangerous idiot during a press conference in Baghdad this week (In Arab culture, the soles of shoes are considered the ultimate insult).
"This is a gift from the Iraqis. This is the farewell kiss, you dog," the journalist shouted in Arabic, adding "This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq" as minders jumped all over him.
But as grieving Iraqi and Afghani families continue to suffer the consequences of Bush’s madness, and millions of Americans lose their jobs and homes in a failing US economy, this “farewell” kiss is clearly the “long goodbye”.
