Man hurls shoes at George Bush in Iraq.

President Bush ducked out of harm's way when a reporter threw his shoes at him during his farewell trip to Iraq.

The man, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Iraqi-owned Al-Baghdadiya television based in Egypt, shouted "this is the end" as he hurled them at the American leader.

The moment was captured from different camera angles and shows the president's reaction afterwards. The Beeb has a better video, but this was easier to snag. Apparently Dana Perino was knocked around and got a black eye when the man was subdued. Who knew G-dub had those cat-like reflexes.
