Because George Bush used to have an interest in a major league baseball team, their brand-new darling Jose Canseco has come out and said that Bush should have and probably did know about the steroid problems in baseball, and they're so anxious to bring Bush down that they'll make even this stretch in an attempt to make it happen.
The thing is, though, if that's their motive, I can't for the life of me envision what they would hope to ultimately accomplish. Suppose they get Palmeiro or someone to testify that "Bush knew". What happens next? Impeachment? Uh... I know that the (D)s are delusional but can they be that delusional?
i think bush probably did know but who cares? roids helped baseball. and what's wrong with that? if it makes them hit the ball further, its more fun so let them make that choice, they are adults. i say give em more drugs, they get paid enough for the physical risk.
and don't tell me about the children and influence, blah blah blah. parents should be teaching their kids about the risks and watching them more carefully. if your kid suddenly gets acne and starts bulging at the muscles, go get his butt tested and take him out of sports.
you won't get rid of roids in the sport, the testing is a joke. and that's because it works for the sport. the only other solution is to start a new league with testing and who wants to watch those guys hitting less?
"...they're so anxious to bring Bush down that they'll make even this stretch in an attempt to make it happen."
Didn't Dubya call on MLB to address this problem in his 03 or 04 SOTU address?
IIRC all the talking heads wondered why he would include it.
