To: Linda Kellen Biegel, a.k.a "Celtic Diva" Re: Ethics Violation

As you can see from the attached photograph, this federal employee is in clear violation of Sec. 2635.101 of the Standards Of Ethical Conduct For Employees Of The Executive Branch, Subpart A, "General Provisions" - which states:

(8) Employees shall act impartially and not give preferential treatment to any private organization or individual.

Millions of people around the world witnessed this federal employee wearing clothing with visible manufacturer's logos. I call your attention to his Majestic jacket prominently displaying a large Chicago White Sox logo (We can discuss his Asics shoes at a later date). He brandished this logo jacket while acting in his official capacity as President of the United States and official starter of Major League Baseball's 2009 All Star Game, where he became the fourth U.S. president to ceremoniously throw the first pitch.

Not only was he well aware that there would be extensive national media coverage, the president also knew that international magazine Sports Illustrated was covering the event and international sports television cable channel ESPN was broadcasting it live.

This makes the president's wearing of White Sox gear while representing the United States the equivalent of a walking billboard, providing benefits to the Chicago White Sox at the expense of all other teams in MLB.

Therefore, in the same spirit which you filed an ethics complaint against your state's governor for wearing a jacket which displayed the logo of a snowmobile manufacturer, we are most interested in learning when you intend to file your  complaint with the U.S. Attorney General's office against this clearly unethical federal employee...

I didn't see BO on TV and that's the only picture I've seen of him pitching. Can it be that was how he did it? In that picture he looks like I would look trying to pitch from a major league pitcher's mound. I don't know that much about it, but that doesn't look, er, right. Would someone who knows about this please tell me whether his form was correct. Or was that a dork pitch? Or is it just the picture?

[immadashell]

The “pitch” resembled a lob inasmuch as it arced twenty five feet in the air prior to barely making it to the vicinity of the plate. The catcher was perched directly on top of the plate (someone knew Zero couldn't reach the normal catcher's box) and he had to move four or five feet more forward in order to keep the ball from bouncing. It looked like a throw that would be made by the guy who was chosen last when the teams were being picked.

[La Lydia]

Did he do the leg lifty thing that Bush always did so gracefully?

[charmedone]

I’m going to throw the ball, thilly bitch!

[Petronski]

Yes, it’s a word.

No, it’s not what happened.

[immadashell]

If he did it was only because that was how he was coached. Mr. Teleprompter could have made a better throw even with a broken head.
