  <title>Iraqi Shoe Toss</title>
  <content>&lt;p&gt;Iraqi journalist Al-Zaidi threw both of his shoes at outgoing US President George W. Bush during a fare-well visit and news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in Baghdad at the end of 2008. The Bush shoe throwing video was likely passed around the world faster and further than any other political video to date.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the lowest ratings of any president in the history of the United States saying goodbye to the war-torn country that he bombed on false pretenses, for many, the event represented a fitting &amp;#8220;fairwell kiss&amp;#8221;. Considering the room was full of press in the midst of recording the event, videos and still frames made their way into the top stories of almost everyone&amp;#8217;s networks. From the rice fields of Cambodia to the mountains in Chile, the word got around.&lt;br /&gt;
