Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Has A Thing For Diego Maradona

An Iranian President and an Argentine soccer legend walk into a bar…We give it a few months before that becomes a realization seeing as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad voiced his approval of Diego Maradona yesterday. The two have been swapping love notes since Maradona delivered an autographed soccer jersey to the people of Iran last December, and more love is on it’s way after El Mamudo decided to hail the coked out one.

Yesterday Mr Ahmadinejad got back to him. “I am sincerely thankful for His Excellency’s kindness towards the righteous and revolutionary Iranian nation,” the president replied, in a message of thanks carried by the official news agency IRNA. “Latin America is the land of pure, hospitable, kind and oppressed nations, on whose body one can see deep whip scars dealt by centuries of world arrogance.”

We don’t know what the “His Excellency” jibe is all about, but the pure, hospitable, kind and…oppressed? Who the hell you calling oppressed Mamon! Have you ever seen us Salsa, or Tango? You ever heard of the “Latin lover?” That stems from overt and aggressive passion that in no way stems from oppression. Usually it’s because we’re really horny. Anyway, these two should get a room.
