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.
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 “fairwell kiss”. 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’s networks. From the rice fields of Cambodia to the mountains in Chile, the word got around.
