shoe-throwing and the definition of assault

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/assault

laura bush says the shoe-throwing incident on her husband, out-going (soon-to-be- ejected, not friendly and warm) US president bush is an assault. yes it is. the word is not alien to her. that's what her husband did to iraq.

in her defense of her husband, she said he 'laughed it off' and that he was 'quick and a natural athlete' in avoidance of the, errrr, assault. whatever. in retrospect, he's just lucky the reporter was male. if the reporter were female (do they have female reporters?) she could have thrown, well, killer stillettos! ooooooohhhh...
