We assume you heard about the infamous shoe-thrower, Muntadhar al-Zaidi, who flung his soles at George Bush ("This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog!"). And if you read up on it, you learned that they beat the poor guy senseless while in custody. 

Muntadar al-Zaidi has allegedly suffered a broken arm, broken ribs and internal bleeding, his older brother, Dargham, told the BBC.

But while Bush got away without a scratch, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino took a microphone in the eye during the melee, which resulted in a nice shiner.

Guess what's after the jump.

Bush's bullshitter took one for the team. AP has the story.
