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.
