That's true. He did reportedly get pretty badly beaten up after the shoes hit the fan and had to receive medical treatment. But, it could have been much much worse for him.
Anyway, I got curious and just looked up his sentence for the assault. Muntadhar al-Zaidi was originally sentenced to three years, but the sentence was reduced to one year shortly thereafter.
He only spent nine months in prison though, getting three months shaved off for good behavior.
