Iraqi who threw shoes at Bush asks for pardon

www.breitbart.com

A spokesman for Iraq's prime minister says the journalist who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush has asked for a pardon.

Spokesman Yassin Majid says that in a letter sent Thursday to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki the journalist described his behavior as "an ugly act" and asked to be pardoned.

Majid says that Muntadhar al-Zeidi in the letter recalls the kindness the prime minister once showed him during an interview in 2005 and asked for al-Maliki to show him kindness once again.

Al-Zeidi, a correspondent for an Iraqi-owned television station based in Cairo, Egypt, could face two years imprisonment for insulting a foreign leader.

So sorry, this poor hero is now regreting his actions and is begging for a pardon. Way to stand behind your convictions shoe lobber.

I suppose he is afraid of actually going to jail according to the IRAQI justice system. He should be grateful he still has arms.

What does this mean for the shoe throwers in the US? You have now lost your mentor.

Yes, very brave.

The guy is unbalanced. He threw shoes but what would he have done if he had been able to get a knife or gun through security? He's a threat.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
