In which Matthew misses the gravitas somewhat

MUNTADHAR AL-ZEIDI:
(under his breath, at a press conference, as George Bush snickers and grins)
Shoes.
Shoes.
Shoes. Oh my God.
Shoes.
Might throw my shoes.
Might throw my shoes.
Might throw my shoes.
Might throw my shoes.
Shoes.
Shoes.
Shoes.
Oh my God. Shoes.
These shoes rule.
George Bush sucks.
These shoes rule.
George Bush sucks!

GEORGE BUSH:
(loudly, at the podium)
I think the war was a success.

MUNTADHAR AL-ZEIDI:
(under his breath)
Shut up...

GEORGE BUSH:
(louder)
I think the war was a success.

MUNTADHAR AL-ZEIDI:
(under his breath)
Shut up.

GEORGE BUSH:
(still louder)
I think the war was a success!

MUNTADHAR AL-ZEIDI:
(under his breath)
Shut. Up.

GEORGE BUSH:
(very loud)
I think the war was a success!

MUNTADHAR AL-ZEIDI:
(throwing his shoes)
This is a farewell kiss, you dog! This is from the widows, the orphans, and those who were killed in Iraq!

SECRET SERVICE:
(taking him down, beating him)
Stupid boy.
Stupid boy.
You THREW your SHOES?

GEORGE BUSH:
Let's party.

(dance break)

MUNTADHAR AL-ZEIDI:
(under his breath)
...betch.
