Brave Lefty hero running like hell
Awww, poor dear:
AN Iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at US President George W Bush in Baghdad last month is to seek political asylum in Switzerland, a Geneva lawyer told the daily La Tribune de Geneve today.
…Once settled in Geneva, the bachelor without children could “very well work as a journalist at the United Nations” which has its European headquarters here, Poggia said.
Auf Wiedersehen, lionheart; good liberals everywhere salute your indomitable spirit, so like to their own.
For conservatives’ part, allow me to stifle my guffawing long enough to second Captain Ed’s commentary:
Of course he could! Why, shoe-throwers are what make the UN the credible multinational organization it is. I can’t think of a more appropriate correspondent for the UN’s Geneva base. Someone brings up Oil for Food? Throw a shoe. Anyone talking about how UN peacekeepers routinely sexually exploit women and children in exchange for aid? Throw a shoe. Hugo Chavez talks about smelling sulphur after following Bush to the dais? Hand Chavez a shoe for him to throw.
Perfect. Just keep him the hell out of NYC, that’s all I ask.
Update! Michele: “I hear he has also filed for asylum in Hollywood. Third choice: the NYTimes newsroom.” He’d get it, in a heartbeat. And it’d be the birth of either a thousand hagiographic films, or a million news items and columns lionizing the miserable worm.
