A Lebanese journalist carries a picture that shows U.S. President George W. Bush leaning to avoid a shoe thrown at him, during a gathering to demand the release of Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi, at the journalist syndicate in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2008. Al-Zeidi threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush during a news conference Sunday in Baghdad, shouting in Arabic, "This is your farewell kiss, you dog!."
