From today's NYTimes:

The Iraqi journalist, Muntader al-Zaidi, 28, a correspondent for Al Baghdadia, an independent Iraqi television station, stood up about 12 feet from Mr. Bush and shouted in Arabic: “This is a gift from the Iraqis; this is the farewell kiss, you dog!” He then threw a shoe at Mr. Bush, who ducked and narrowly avoided it.

Representatives of the International Kennel Club today lodged a protest with the station manager of Al Baghdadia TV. Their complaint: that reporter Muntader al-Zaidi's recent reference to President Bush as a "dog" was an insult to canines the world over. "Dogs may be coprophagic," remarked IKC spokesman Dirk Begalovich, "but there is some shit that dogs should not be made to eat."
