Bush has balls to throw first pitch of the season

I see that President Bush is going to throw out the first pitch for the Nationals opening day baseball game on Sunday. Of course, they are going to have him throw to the Nationals' manager; he wouldn't want to be associated with Paul LoDuca, Nationals catcher, who may have taken steroids. After all, what LoDuca did, harmed exactly one person. If I was LoDuca, I'd refuse to be associated with Bush.

I presume the Secret Service is going to screen all spectators' cars for bumper stickers, and also refuse to admit anyone wearing a graphic tshirt or carrying a sign, or a noisemaker, and of course will require that everyone's mouths be taped shut. Applause is mandatory. Anyone who fails to comply will be arrested.

Bush has said that he thinks history will prove he was a great president. But I will tell you this: he is going to go out on the lowest possible note; that's just the kind of person he is. He is going to give the big finger to America, just like the frat boy he is. Maybe he'll start on Sunday. Maybe he'll take his cue from Cheney; when the crowd starts to boo, just give em the finger, and with that smirk we all love so much, tell the reporters "So?" To be honest with you, I wouldn't be surprised if he dropped trou.
