In related news, al-Zaidi has apparently been abused by Iraqi forces while under arrest, suffering "a broken arm and ribs," along with internal bleeding.

Yeah, George. Iraq's a real goddam paradise now. You must be so proud.

The Deciderer jokes about the shoe throwing being free speech in action but didn't have the class to call for fair treatment of the man. Bush is an asshat.

That "Bush is an ASSHAT" is a major understatement.
