I am furious that B* DIDN"T get to be MLB Commissioner

[merbex]

Perfect stupid job for him

Who said no to him about that job?

I totally blame them for foisting him on this country

1. If the MLB gave Bush the job, the world would be better off...

This is EXACTLY like the case of Hitler and the Vienna Institute of Arts. If those bastards took him in, there would have been no genocide, and if the MLB took in Bush, there would have been no right wing dictatorship.

4. Yeah, and if the Sentors had signed a pitcher named

Fidel Castro, Cuba would have been better off.

The interesting thing about the MLB Commisionership is that it shows exactly how politically tone deaf Bush can be about something he wants. It's my understand that he wanted the position badly, and thought that his friend, acting Commissioner Bud Selig, was working to get it for him. Selig was actually working to get the permanent position for himself, going to the lengths of "divesting himself" of ownership in the Brewers.

2. Silly Person! Halliburton and other BFEE favored companies

don't have any expertise in building stadiums and vending hot dogs!

3. Enron Field, er, Minute Maid Park was built by Brown & Root.

;-)

I calls it "The House that Dick Cheney Built".

7. touche ! I just looked up hot dogs on BuyBlue.org - I was wrong

about that too !!

5. And Bud Selig would have been better

as POTUS?

Well, maybe.

6. Sure, give Bush the job as Baseball Commissioner

and today, you would fondly remember what baseball was . . . given his track record . . . and your grandkids would say "What's baseball?"
