| Iraqi Shoe Pitcher Gets 3 Years in Jug |
| 2009-03-12 |
| The Iraqi journalist who threw shoes at then-President George W. Bush was convicted Thursday of assaulting a foreign leader and sentenced to three years in prison, lawyers said. Some of his relatives collapsed and had to be helped out of court. Others were forcibly removed by security forces when they became unruly, shouting "Down with Bush" |

| #3 I'll venture that former President Bush would have pardoned the guy - told him he needs to be quicker to the plate, back to the minors, you throw like a fucking girl! |

| #1 That's the way a civilized society works, with the wheels of justice grinding slowly but surely and the bad guys, the antisocial, ending up in jail. People who don't respect Bush or America should pay attention. He didn't need to get all insulted or in a huff. He didn't need to have the moron shot immediately or else taken to a torture room and killed slowly. He just smiled and walked away and let the system work. |
