Iraqi parliament in turmoil over shoe tosser
"Chaos erupted in Iraq's parliament Wednesday over the jailing of a reporter who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush, with lawmakers loyal to a radical anti-American cleric demanding his freedom."
Lawmakers argued that there needed to be a session addressing the case and the allegations he had been beaten in custody.
When the arguments turned into a screaming match speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, shouted: "There is no honor in leading this parliament and I announce my resignation."
