Duh
Chris mentioned in passing that today was Opening Day (well, yesterday). I didn’t realize there was a deeper story!
See, Chris, “in addition to being a world class soccer player, best-selling author and world adventurer…” is also huge baseball fan. His team won (the St. Louis Cardinals), but it wasn’t the big news.
See, many-a-year ago, a US President threw out the opening pitch in the All-Star game: it was unique, as he was the only in-office president to throw out any opening day pitch. Perhaps in-office prez’s don’t throw out any pitches, because, hey, they got things to do, laws to sign, a country to run…just plain busy.
In fact, it seems, that 1970 All-Star game opening pitcher lost his job in his second term in office. It’s comforting to know that at the end of the day, all analogies aside; dubbya is actually walking the same path, as today he is
“the first sitting president to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Opening Day game”
(note: “sitting president”).
Now why would the spin-doctors and PR guys and gals at the white house want to book such a thing, especially since ex-Nixon lawyer John W. Dean supports at least a censure of dubbya, ( see http://www.floppingaces.net, too!) and U.S. Senator Russ Feingold has presented the censure resolution and is co-sponsored by Sens. Tom Harkin of Iowa and Barbara Boxer of California.
Duh.
