Didn't Curt Schilling campaign for Dubya?

"So, like, what took you so long?" Bush asked, eliciting huge laughter from the crowd. "I'm proud to be joined by the vice president. He's a Chicago Cubs fan. So, like, he knows what you've been through."
Bush, a former owner of the Texas Rangers, repeatedly praised a Boston team whose World Series victory seemed to touch a nerve in baseball fans everywhere. It ended the supposed Curse of the Bambino and delighted Red Sox supporters the world over.
"I love the way this team played, and so do baseball fans," Bush said. "I mean, this is a team that won eight games in a row when it wasn't supposed to. It's kind of courage -- and a couple of stitches. You answered 86 years of prayers. That's an amazing feat, isn't it? I mean, when the Red Sox won, people all over the world cheered. They cheered in New England, and they cheered in Baghdad, Iraq."
Where is Curt's copy of Advanced Squad Leader for the President!?!?!?!?!?!? He should give the President a set.
"To answer your question, Mr. President, Alex Rodriguez is a jerk who claims to be a New Yorker but has never lived there before. He cheats to win, and changed his position as soon as he arrived in New York. You're lucky you've never had to deal with anyone like that."
Ping!
