They're yelling, "Booooosh"

George W. Bush threw out the first pitch at the home opener for the Washington Nationals yesterday and got the kind of greeting befitting someone with a 30% national approval rating:

To his credit, I have to agree with the announcer that it was probably the best presidential first pitch I've ever seen; many just skip across the plate or are way outside. It should also be noted that the Nationals starting catcher Paul Lo Duca was originally supposed to catch the pitch but for some reason (his 37 mentions in the steroid-laden Mitchell Report, perhaps) he was replaced at the last minute by manager Manny Acta. I'm sure the president's repeated denunciations of performance-enhancing drugs had nothing to do with it though.

the guy was so likeable 9 years ago. makes you wonder how his presidency might have been different without the 9/11 bombings.

as a social librarian I presume you support performance-enhancement of all kinds, no?

I believe in your right to pump whatever you want into your own veins, my friend. You own 'em. They're yours.

Why are you so narrow minded? I firmly believe in your right to pump your own member as well. You own it....

You go right ahead and pump whichever veined organ you can find, pal. Ok, enough of this; no wonder not many chicks read this blog.
