Muntadhar al-Zeidi's act of protest during Bush's last visit to Iraq as president turned the 30-year-old reporter into a folk hero across the Arab world, as his case became a rallying point for critics who resented the 2003 U.S. invasion and occupation.

"Al-Zeidi's shoes were a suitable farewell for Bush's deeds in Iraq," Sunni lawmaker Dhafir al-Ani said in welcoming the early release. "Al-Zeidi's act expressed the real will and feelings of the Iraqi people. His anger against Bush was the result of the suffering of his countrymen."

Iraqi who threw his shoes at Bush to be freed from prison early for good behavior, lawyer says -- chicagotribune.com

This is hilarious....

The very act of throwing his shoe at Bush was good behavior.

I nominate him for a Golden Shoe Award.

Default So they flip-flopped on the sentencing?

- I guess his straight-laced behavior in prison must have paid off. Time to the let the wounds heel - such news warm the sole.

Well, as long as the sole purpose was accomplished.

He and thousands of others can thank President Bush for removing Hussein from power so that he can write what he likes with being shot, hanged or having his tounge cut off.
