    Heel go for it: George W. Bush shoe-thrower to run for Iraqi parliament

    Muntadhar Al-Zaidi, the iconic Iraqi journalist who 10 years ago threw his shoes at former US President George W. Bush is now running for a seat in the Iraqi parliament.

    In December 2008, Al-Zaidi caught the world’s attention when he hurled both of his shoes at Bush during his visit to Iraq. Bush managed to duck twice to avoid what Al-Zaidi called “a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people.”

    A decade later, Al-Zaidi is making headlines again. Saying he is standing up for the interests of his fellow countrymen on the political arena, he is running for parliament in the next elections, due to take place May 12.

    Having closely observed the Iraqi situation as a journalist, Al-Zaidi says he’s come to the conclusion that, in the last 15 years, the Iraqi government members have failed to change the fate of the country. In an interview with local paper Al Bawaba News, he pledged to put an end to corruption, to stop wasting public money, cut pensions for Iraqi officials and defend the rights of ordinary citizens.

    Al-Zaidi seems to be swiftly gaining supporters, too, among like-minded Iraqis who help him in his election campaign, posing with his posters….see link
