Sayonara, Rover!

Actually fair & balanced reporting from McClatchy Newspapers. Good for them. Here, the shoe seen 'round the world. And the men & women who did nothing.
Video of the incident showed that no Secret Service agents assigned to protect the president were near Bush when Zaidi threw the shoes. The first agent appears to move to the president's side after the second shoe was thrown. Bush waved him off. The incident was largely over before several other bodyguards can be seen entering the room from behind the president.
It has been suggested that the Secret Service D-team is w/ Bush at this point. (Have they changed the Prexy's code name to "Lame Duck" yet?) More on the man who threw that shoe.
Friends said Zaidi covered the U.S. bombing of Baghdad's Sadr City area earlier this year and had been "emotionally influenced" by the destruction he'd seen. They also said he'd been kidnapped in 2007 and held for three days by Shiite Muslim gunmen.
What a crybaby. Suck it up, loser. How Oz sees it. Or maybe this is it.
