George Bush and the Texas Rangers
From yesterday's press briefing by Scott McClellan:
- Q Second question, any further response from the President on the allegations concerning his knowledge of steroid use by the Rangers?
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, I talked to him, and he wasn't aware of that at the time, if there was. But he -- he has recognized for some time that steroids is a growing problem in professional sports, particularly Major League Baseball. That's why the President has made addressing the issue a priority in his administration, because the use of steroids or performance-enhancing drugs sends the wrong message to our children. And it also has harmful effects on those who use it. And the President commends Major League Baseball and the players' union for working together to take an important step to address the issue by expanding drug-testing programs and increasing penalties.
At what point was it, precisely, that he "recognized" the growing problem with steroid use in MLB?
How can he be expected to manage a $2,500,000,000,000 budget when he couldn't figure out the drug habits of his 25 players?
Either Bush has flat out lied to us, via his Press Secretary, or he has demonstrated that he lacked sufficient management skills needed to run a Major League Baseball team. Why do we the People accept either one?
Answer: because the media distracts us with tales about Michael Jackson and networks feed us endless hours full of mindnumbing "reality TV" shows.
Why should we worry about the solvency of Social Security or our federal deficits when "the Donald" is going to fire somebody tonight?
