Bush Moped, Players Doped
Happy 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.'"

As owner, he passed time by reading My Pet Goat" to himself in the empty locker room while the games were being played.
Please, can anyone name an issue that Bu**sh** was EVER out in front of, identified as a problem early on, led the way, took bold decisive action on? And the 2000 FL recount does not count.

Like hell he didn't know about what was going on with his own team, the Texas Rangers.
I bet Dana Perino doesn't even know that he owned the Texas Rangers.

Hell, he supplied the drugs. It's not like he never played with drugs now is it?

Notice how President Bush never feels regret, sorrow, or anything that would make him look like he is wrong on any issue. It's more than annoying, it's freaky!

Bush and Baseball? I love this story you can find sprinkled around on the web (and NYT) Here's a quote from The Daily Standard, Neil Davis in 2004
First, in 1994 he [Bush] was the only owner in baseball to vote against the introduction of the wild card, and claimed that "History will prove me right." Only problem is that the cruel hands of history have worked against Bush and have revealed that the wild card is good for the fans

The "History will prove me right." quote, ugh. Now we've had the benefit of time, the same benefit that W is looking for regarding Iraq.
So, baseball historians, how do you judge George W Bush?

Notice how quickly President responds when you say, "Baseball,"; but when you mention, "CIA tapes" he cannot recall.
He can even remember what a baseball looks like if he's had enough to drink.

Not only has George W. Bush never done anything wrong but he would be perfectly justified and righteous in having done what some might have the gaul to claim was wrong even though he never did it because his critics are just out to get him and he stands on his record and history alone will be his judge, and not anyone living in this or any other century in the current millenium, because God has chosen to speak and act through him because of his blameless life which in fact he never has to think about or apologize for....ever.

Bush may have taken lessons from none other than Steroid Czar, George Mitchell. Hand-job expert, extraordinaire, George Mitchell will be offering further classes in the skills he perfected while still in Congress. Apparently, all those now in Congress have passed at least the required course work in Mitchell's auto erotica classes, while Bush and Senators, Feinstein, Harmon and Boxer, and Congresswoman and Housespeaker Pelosi all finished cum lauda.
This makes the fact that the stain on Lewinsky's dress, estimated to be about a one quart spill, seems like yesterday's news.
