Big things in this man's future.
Yankees Sign Iraqi Hurler.
Shoe-throwing Right-hander Impresses Scouts.
In their latest bid to beef up their pitching rotation for the 2009 season, the New York Yankees today signed Iraqi journalist Muntadar al-Zeidi to a three-year deal worth $32 million.
The right-handed al-Zeidi, 28, impressed the Yankee scouts with his performance in Baghdad yesterday when he threw both of his shoes at President George W. Bush.
While neither of the shoes hit their target, both throws "had great velocity and good movement," said Yankee owner Hank Steinbrenner.
"The first shoe was high and outside but the second one was right down the middle," Mr. Steinbrenner said.
The Yankee boss said that he was also impressed with Mr. Al-Zeidi's fighting spirit when Secret Service agents tackled him.
"That could come in handy when we have a series with Boston," he said.

Ha! Badman, thats the first thing that popped into my head as I watched that vdo! Then I watched again to see the distance between him and that man, the warning time, the reflex and I thought damn! W could have been a damn good boxer with those skills!
I would have been clocked right in the kisser! And he dodged two! I almost expected to see him counter with a hook. Amazing.

I am not particularly fond of him, but he handled himself well during this whole incident.

Posts: 193Birth Certificate Issue?
There is this persistent story going around that BO has not produced a Birth Certificate proving he was born in the USA and eligable to be a US President.
The last I heard, a muckracker was putting this issue before the Supreme Court on the day of the election.
Should OB be forced to show his BC before his inauguration?
Next time it will be Schwartznegger for Pres.
The amusing part of the whole charade is the GOP is getting it in the fartzer just like they gave it to the DEMS via the Gop Supreme court.
Has Carl Rove been de-clawed?
And the beat goes on.

This was leaked by staffers in her own campaign bubby. They also said she used to answer her door wearing only a towel. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I still think she is spoogable. Dumb as a fucking stump, but spoogable.

Bush and Obama have a different approach to the problem. This doesn't make one smarter than the other. People can draw their own conclusions as to which strategy they think is more effective.

I wonder why George Bush didn't think of that?
That Obama is just so smart.
Thanks,

Posts: 41Who should Osama fear?
Bush: "We'll get Osama 'dead or alive'". That was 7 years ago.
McCain: "My friend, I know how to find Osama". I wonder how come he has not shared this strategy with Bush in the past 7 years.
Obama: "If we know where Osama is in Pakistan, I will send our military after him" (without asking Pakistan's permission)
Who should Al Qeada fear?
A) Bush who sent 15,000 soldiers to Afghanistan after Al Qeada and 100,000 soldiers to Iraq after the oil.
Be) McCain who hasn't shared 'how to find Osama' with anyone for the past 7 years, and wants to keep the conflict going creating more Al Qeada recruits.
C) Obama who wants to pressure Pakistan to do more to isolate Al Qeada at the borders between Afghanistan & Pakistan.
