Iraqis need some baseball coaching

[deepakflash]

^ you are right

[deepakflash]

Hitting someone with a shoe is considered the 'Mother of All Insults' by Iraqis. If al-Zaidi had been in another country here's what he may have done.

Islamabad Janaab al-Zaidi would have spat on Bush's cheek.
New Delhi Shri al-Zaidi would have rubbed black paint on Bush's face and paraded him on a donkey.
Tokyo Dono al-Zaidi would have blown his nose in a handkerchief in front of Bush.
Paris Monsieur al-Zaidi would have violently heat-butted Bush Istanbul Efendi al-Zaidi would have shown a thumbs up sign meaning "a**hole".
Athens Kyrios al-Zaidi would have shown his open palm to Bush which means, "I rub **** in your face."
Rome Signor al-Zaidi would have held up his fist with the forefinger and little finger extended towards Bush implying that he is a cuckold.
Iran Saheb al-Zaidi would have shown Bush a cheery thumbs up meaning, "Sit on this!".
Beijing Comrade al-Zaidi would have greeted Bush with his name the wrong way round - Bush George!
Germany Herr al-Zaidi would have drunk a toast to Bush while looking at his own feet so that Bush may have seven years of bad sex.

And in Russia... Yakov Smirnoff would have said "In Soviet Russia, shoe dodges you!"

A shoe-throwing incident at an Iraqi news conference with George W. Bush has inspired an Internet game where the player hurls footwear at a moving target of the U.S. president.

The game, which has been circulated by email, gives players 30 seconds to try to hit Bush with a brown shoe as many times as possible, with the score appearing in the top left hand corner of the screen.

Players are greeted with the command: "OBJECTIVE: Hit President Bush in the face with your shoes! Do it!"

On-target shots are met with a message of congratulations: "Shoes have successfully hit President Bush in his face. Well done!"

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki can be seen peeping over a lectern next to Bush in the mock-up of the now-infamous joint news briefing on Sunday when an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the president who ordered the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

In the game, Bush turns purple and his face takes on a flummoxed look when the shoe strikes the target.

Wedding Bells for the hero

An Egyptian man said on Wednesday he was offering his 20-year-old daughter in marriage to Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, who threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush in Baghdad on Sunday,

The daughter, Amal Saad Gumaa, said she agreed with the idea. "This is something that would honour me. I would like to live in Iraq, especially if I were attached to this hero," she told Reuters by telephone.

Amal is a student in the media faculty at Minya University in central Egypt.

Wow ... that would never happen here...

I wonder if it was an hit if he would have more proposition

[FlashLackey]

I wonder if that would have happened had someone thrown a shoe at Saddam Hussein while he was in power.

Ok, I'm just movin' to Iraq to teach them some baseball tricks. You know, I'm from Brazil, and we know baseball as much as the Zetas from the XYZ Galaxy.
