...well, it's all fun and games.

Bush attends Little League game


Sunday, August 14, 2005; Posted: 9:24 a.m. EDT (13:24 GMT)

WACO, Texas (AP) -- President Bush relived some of his childhood Saturday night when he attended a Little League playoff game near his Texas ranch.

The world's most powerful former Little Leaguer watched several innings while players from Bryant, Arkansas, and Lafayette, Louisiana, competed for the southwestern regional championship.

Bush welcomed the players, coaches and families to Texas from the pitcher's mound. He then threw out the ceremonial first pitch and watched from behind home plate with the first lady and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

"Play hard, play fair, play to win," he said. "God bless you all and may God continue to bless our great country."

Bush is the first former Little League player to be elected president, having played as a kid for the Cubs of Midland, Texas, said the league's CEO and president Steve Keener.

1. "Play hard, Play fair and Play to win"?
What kind of fucked up values are those?
Whatever happened to "It's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game"?

Why is this imbecile allowed to interact with impressionable youth?:banghead:
