Iraqi Reporter Throws Shoes at Bush, Calls Him 'Dog'

THIS IS THE FAREWELL KISS, YOU DOG!     \"This is a gift from the Iraqis. This is the farewell kiss, you dog,\" the journalist shouted (in Arabic), Steven Lee Myers of The New York Times reported in a pool report to the White House press corps.

Myers reported that the man threw the second shoe and added: \"This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq.\"

Journalists at the scene said the hurler was Muntadar al-Zaidi, a reporter for Al-Baghdadia TV, an independent satellite channel based in Cairo.
(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) BAGHDAD  - An Iraqi reporter called visiting U.S. President George W. Bush a "dog" in Arabic on Sunday and threw his shoes at him during a news conference in Baghdad.

Iraqi security officers and U.S. secret service agents leapt at the man and dragged him struggling and screaming out of the room where Bush was giving a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
