white coats and white tennies and not a single word about military shot dead in front of recruiting offices or black youths beat to death in the streets of the city he helped mold.....not a single word about the bravery of the troops overrun last weekend in Afganistan, or how they refused to medi-vac out, choosing to donate blood in the middle of combat, then picking up their rifles, to join, wounded, their brothers fighting so bravely for their lives and for America.

zero sucks.

Wow Bammy’s Boy’s Club. But in this case for tax-payer supported adults.

How....sexist.

No Republicans. Good thing, if he got fouled, the Secret Service would probably have to tackle the player and drag him off the court.

The ruling class definitely did not participate in gladiatorial games in Rome. Watched, maybe, but not take part.

Though the idea has appeal.

Reminds me of Idi Amin playing basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters.

Six blue dogs in that group. That can’t be an accident.

There is apparent progress, though, _resident Obama has managed to break Patrick Murphy’s lip lock on John Murtha, at least for a few hours.

and the purpose of this basketball game is _________ ?

Does this Resident EVER work?

Perhaps he should review the job description.
Maybe he should step down if the position he holds is too stressful for him... or is he just lazy?
