Wolf Blitzer: "How did an Iraqi reporter manage to throw two shoes at president Bush during a news conference." Blitzer is going through a litany of "security incidents" with Bush. Media is downplaying or ignoring what the journalist said: "This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq." Bush: "I don't know what his beef is." Muntadar al-Zeidi's brother: "Americans have been killing and disrespecting Iraqis for five years. It's time we paid them back." Don't think this does the trick. It's like Tony Soprano killing Patsy Parisi's twin brother and Parisi getting his "revenge" by pissing in Soprano's pool.
