The Bush shoe-thrower's sentence cut to one year
Edited on Tue Apr-07-09 08:06 AM by Jackeens
:thumbsup:

Cut from three years - no link yet, just reported on Sky News.




PS He clearly has inspired others:



A journalist throws his shoe at India's Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram during a news conference in New Delhi in this video frame grab from ANI TV released April 7, 2009. A Sikh journalist threw a shoe at Chidambaram during a news conference on Tuesday after getting angry with the minister's reply to a question on the 1984 riots in which hundreds of Sikhs were killed. The shoe missed Chidambaram, who leaned back to avoid it. He later smiled and asked security guards to take the reporter out of the room.
