The journalist who tossed his shoes at U.S. President George Bush has been handed over to the Iraqi military command in Baghdad.
He'll face further investigation by the military agency in charge of enforcing law in Baghdad.
The reporter is being hailed by many in Iraq as a hero and thousands have demanded his release and he is a hero to late night comics, who are having a field day with the incident.
They couldn't pass up such a juicy gag opportunity.
David Letterman said Bush hasn't dodged anything like that since the Vietnam war while Jay Leno joked how Bush did something he's never done before when avoiding the shoe, he leaned to the left.
Newspapers across the U.S. had headlines saying shoe-icide attack, shoe-nabomber and even lame duck and cover.
On Youtube, creative users are posting their hybrid videos, altering the shoe attack video to include Bush in a Three Stooges food fight sketch, have him as Neo in the Matrix dodging shoes instead of bullets and even putting him in a scene from Austin powers.
Meanwhile Americans are having their say on what should be done with the shoes.
Some tell CNN they should be put in the Smithsonian, be impeached along with Bush, or should be auctioned off with the proceeds going to the auto industry.
