Popular St. Louis Cardinals Manager Tony LaRussa came out in support of the tea party movement and the Arizona immigration law. Last night an excited group of St. Louis tea party patriots attended the Cardinals game here in town against the Arizona Diamondbacks. LaRussa said he supported the patriots after the game.
Tony LaRussa:
This is America, right? Youre supposed to have opinions Im actually in support of what Arizona is doing. If the national government wont fix your problem and you got a problem, you got to do fix it yourself.
Right on.

Old Deck, See Phil Jackson’s similar comment here

“I heard someone say that Phil Jackson made a similar comment...”

A vegetarian MLB manager, and a Zen-practicing ThugBA head coach supporting the Tea Party Movement and Arizona?
Go figure!
“This isn’t the sort of thing a manager or player does without approval of his team’s ownership.”

Cardinal ownership is indeed close friends with the lukewarm conservatives, the Bushes.
Having said that, TLR’s remarks were clearly off the cuff. He has a very secure position here in St. Louis and pretty much says and does what he wants....even if if means sometimes losing baseball games ;-)
Albert is a born again christian. No comment on Beck. Tony LaRussa has a law degree. I just threw that in.
Good thanks for asking! I lost the February Primary. But, My life is in Gods hands!
Things are good, life is good. I am looking to move to Texas, if I get a job I applied for! In this economic downturn, that I might have a job opportunity closer to family, thats a real blessing!
Hope you are doing well yourself!
More than you would expect (here) have been following your attempts to fix Chicago and Illinois.
Texas??
Wow....Big move.
All the best in your job hunt in the Lone Star State.
After you get settled, ask around for opportunities for wild hog hunts....
It’s on my bucket list.
I’m good. A couple of days off to celebrate Independance Day with my best friends...
