Bush Moped, Players DopedHappy Friday, I can’t resist this. Froomkin, go!
John D. McKinnon blogs that Perino was asked yesterday why Bush didn’t notice the epidemic of performance-enhancing drugs that was taking hold of the game when he was an owner.Perino pointed to an ESPN interview in which he said that he’s thought long and hard about it, but doesn’t recall ever seeing or hearing evidence of a steroid problem.
Writes McKinnon: “A Fox News reporter, Wendell Goler, pointed out that former Ranger Jose Canseco has said ‘he cannot comprehend why Mr. Bush didn’t know that steroid use was going on on the team.’ So does Bush regret not picking up on the problem, Goler asked?
“‘I don’t think it’s a time for regret,’ Perino said. ‘I think it’s time to do what the president has done, which is … to shine a light on the issue. And now we have a result … a report that is getting a lot of attention, and deservedly so.’”
