From CBC: Having solved all the other issues troubling the nation, Iraqi politicians found time to descend into chaos over incident where journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi donated two second hand shoes to George W. Bush, the president of United States of America. During a debate over the negligible issue of US troop presence in Iraq, some legislators interrupted the session arguing parliament should be focusing on al-Zeidi incident instead.
As the parliamentary dispute escalated into full blown screaming match, Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani stood up stating, “Screw you guys, I’m going home”. The Speaker’s resignation is considered to be a severe blow to generally serene Iraqi political landscape.
