People all over the world are searching it online as the “Bush Shoe.” Today, President George Bush made an unannounced visit to Iraq. During a press conference, as part of a ceremonial signing of a security agreement, the President of the United States was greeted by a pair of flying shoes aggressively thrown at him, one after another, and insulted in Arabic by Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi. Fortunately, the President managed to dodge the smelly pair of “number 10’s.”

n Arab culture, throwing shoes is a grave show of disrespect. “This is the farewell kiss, you dog,” the man shouted in Arabic.

After the jump, you can see a video of President Bush escaping the pair of shoes intended for his face. When asked about the incident President Bush claimed he believed the pair of shoes were a size 10.
