That Iraqi guy

From http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com

I recently suggested a word to pseudodictionary.com
al-Sahafism
noun
The speech delivery method and mannerism of Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf where he states a lie so defiantly that the listener begins to question whether it is himself or the speaker who is crazy.
Also
verb
al-Sahaf, al-Sahafed, al-Sahafing
To lie with the utmost defiance.
noun
al-Sahaf
A lie that is so unbelievable that it becomes a piece of fictional art.
Usage example:
Michael Jackson said in an interview that he had only one plastic surgery.
That was a good bit of al-Sahafism.

Dude, he cracks me up. I thought his breifings were so comical. I wonder where he went, haven't heard from him in some time. That guy could do his own show over here in the states and bring it in hand over foot.

Even ESPN has gotten into the act:

If the Iraqi Information Minister worked for the Yankees:

I swear to you by all that is holy that the moon will run crimson with the blood of the Boston infidels before this night is over! Already, the indomitable Yankees lead by seven runs, and the corrupt Red Sox are fleeing the stadium! They have forfeited the game and are returning to their homes to lick their wounds like the pathetic curs they are!

The rest is not as funny but there are some good parts.

Hey! Stop making fun of that guy! Reports are that he hung himself today. If you make fun of him, you will burn at the gates of the city, and your entrails will litter the streets and little children will use your eyeballs for ping-pong, and your teeth will melt into glue, and there will be lots of other burning of things and people and more horrible cliches! Oh yea, and there will be a crimson moon, and curs licking things, and more fire from hell.

The Daily show did a pretty funny parady of that guy. They said that Saddam lost controll of the whole city, except the corner of one hotel room, by a lamp, and that the infidels will find themselves burning by the lamp and the desk chair, with their entrails strewn across the floor between the bed and the bathroom door, and stuff like that. It was funny.

Quotes from Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf:

7 April:

Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf:

"The infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad... Be assured, Baghdad is safe, protected. Iraqis are heroes."

"As our leader Saddam Hussein said, 'God is grilling their stomachs in hell."

"There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!

"They tried to bring a small number of tanks and personnel carriers in through al-Durah but they were surrounded and most of their infidels had their throats cut."

"We made them drink poison last night"

"Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly."

"God willing, I will provide you with more information. I swear by God, I swear by God, those who are staying in Washington and London have thrown these mercenaries in a crematorium."

"Are these the Americans? People remain silent and placate the Americans. By God, they only deserve scorn. We slaughtered them yesterday and we will continue to slaughter them."

5 April:

Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf reads a message from Saddam Hussein:

"The criminals will be humiliated... To hurt the enemy more, raise the level of your attacks."

3 April:

Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf on US claims to be near Baghdad:

"They've not been able to control any Iraqi city. We're waging war against this snake and we will be victorious."

He probably hates himself. Either that, or he has to laugh his a$$ off after he's off camera.

"how did the press conference go?"
"pretty good. I told them that we were winning and threw in that line that Habib wrote about the crimson moon and the licking curs."

"hahahah! good one! I love the one about the curs! Next time throw in the one about burning entrails. That one's pure gold!"
