24 Athletes Sign Letter Supporting Bush...Only 4 Actually Made a Donation
Open letter signed by 24 Olympians and Professional Athletes
http://www.georgewbush.com/News/Read.aspx?ID=4008

Would be marginally impressive if more than 17% of these millionaires actually donated a few measley bucks to the Bush campaign. http://www.newsmeat.com

Wow. They got Kerri Strug.

1. Whew!

I'd be heartbroken if my man Rickey Henderson signed or Joe Montana.

Our side has Isaiah Thomas, Shaq, Charles Barkley, Phil Jackson, Andre Agassi and quite possibly Dale Earnhardt Jr.

that Nolan Ryan is a Repuke, as is Roger Clemens.

16. Jocks for Shrub
just checking the list and I've come to this conclusion,the curse of the Bambino has been lifted and placed where it rightly belong the Yankees and all bush supporters.A-Rod donated 2 grand to the bush reselection committe,Beltran and Biggio support bush,Dunn of the reds,Walker of the cubs,Hasselback of the seahawks,Malone of the lakers,you'll notice all of the teams that employ the bush supporters lost,come on RED SOX beat those redbird bush jock supporters.
