Today Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi from the Al-Baghdadia television network threw both of his shoes at President George W. Bush during a press conference in Baghdad with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Bush successfully dodged the footwear projectiles, joking “If you want the facts, it was a size 10″.

Within minutes the story was all over video sharing sites like YouTube in which folks were mashing it up and/or commenting. I threw my hat in the ring (but not my shoes) here: http://is.gd/bOia
