Al-Zaidi Apologizes, Says “I Thought It Was A Wedding”

TV reporter Muntader al-Zaidi says “sorry about that”, but still faces up to 15 years in prison for “aggression against a president.” His employers, Cairo-based al-Baghdadiya TV, “called for their journalist to be freed, saying he had simply been exercising his freedom of expression.”

I dunno. Based on exhibit A, I’d say it was attempted murder.

    Merry Christmas Paco. Mehaul

  3. Throwing shoes is always a lot of fun until somebody gets stomped on and put in jail.
