Actually a pretty fair article, I guess this writer will be getting fired

"Shhh," Bush responded. "Keep expectations low."

THE motto of the Bush Administration. Unfortunately, IMO he has succeeded even these lowered expectations in very many ways.

[fishtank]

He needs to get back to socializing the banking industry.

NOT!

[exile]

He should have come out on the field in an “Operation Chaos” shirt and cap. That would have really p!ssed off the America Hating Democraps in the crowd.

[Vigilanteman]

At least he can get it to the catcher from the pitcher's mound. I recall John Kerry standing several feet in front of the mound and still having the ball hit the dirt before it even got close to the catcher. He really did throw like a girl. (With apologies to all girls who throw better than JF Girlyman)

[MississippiMan]

Didn’t he throw a strike early in his administration at a game?

In his earlier days, the president had an unremarkable stint as a relief pitcher the freshmen baseball team at Yale University.

I did not know that President Bush played baseball for Yale at all. Imagine the way this would have been described if ex42 had ever played on a sports team.

Typical Washington baseball fans - half of them left by the fifth inning.

[Jacquerie]

It was disgusting to hear the boos from the crowd. Too many 'nats fans are classless.

Liberals in any audience are a painful embarassment. Be it, 'chicken' or 'egg'; they are classless jerks. . .no other way to describe them.

AT least he doesn’t throw like a girl. Didn’t Kerry or Gore dribble the ball to the plate? And what’s this about Obama bowling a 37 in Penn this weekend? Surely that’s a partial score.

[Typical_Whitey]

Amazing how the Liberals can’t distinguish between Politics and baseball.... They swore that the Boo’s were personal and totally disregard the jacket and the sport..... Idiots can’t be reasoned with...

If Obama gets elected it is the end of this great country for sure.

[cricket]

They are first, ‘classless Liberals’ by definition. . .They are classless ‘fans’. . .by necessity.

[cricket]

Well, given that ‘gutter balls’ don’t count; think that IS his total score. . .

[maica]

I think his father had been a varsity baseball player at Yale. He was also Ws little league coach, IIRC.

GWB seems to have wanted to follow his father in so many ways.

[Freee-dame]

Didn’t he throw a strike early in his administration at a game?

IIRC, it was at Yankee Stadium in the first game back after September eleventh. If he were a 'rat, the video of that event would have been shown so many times by now that everyone would know about it.

[LYSandra]

I am so going to miss this man! I don’t care what any one says about him I think he will be remembered as a great President. I didn’t agree with him about immigration but Bush is a class act as is Laura and the whole family. I can only imagine what the WH will be like if either dem gets in or even McCain who is sketchy at best. Bush can look in the mirror every night and know he did a great job and kept the country safe from terror strikes in spite of the left’s efforts to undermine him at every turn.

Yes, that was my thought as well.
