Shoe Thrower Gets Reduced Sentence

It's not in Egypt, but he was a journalist in the region. Muntadar Al Zaidi received a reduced jail sentence to one year for showing a shoe at Bush. The new ruling was that he was insulting a foreign leader rather than assaulting one. It's a good sign of freedom of expression, and also he'll probably be released in September taking into consideration "pre-trial custody and the customary reductions of sentences," according to the BBC.

When he's released, this guy will never pay for a meal in the rest of his life. I wouldn't be suprised if he gets elected to office.
