*bush forced Curt Schillings, the Red Sox's player to appear in Ohio!
On all Dayton, Ohio channels, *bush is on....again....this morning, I just saw that baseball player limp, I say again, limp up to the podium to introduce *bush at the Wilmington Rally.


Oh, the powers of *bush....

3. The media said several days ago
that Curt's physician ordered him not to be up on his leg and that he should not do the campaigning due to the leg. He did not appear at a previous rally and that was the follow-up rationale. Now, he is there with *bush here in Ohio......


Sounds like it's against mediacl advice.......sounds like they made him an offer he could not refuse.....

7. FYI. Curt had a small infection in his foot last week.
The latest news reports indicated that it is improving. An MRI was planned to check it out. So he might have gotten the OK from the docs.

8. Not true!
He has a torn tendon. They geri-rigged it for the Play-offs. Actually, they first practiced the technique on a cadaver....stapled the tendon to the ankle in some fashion and loaded the area with Lidocaine to play.

11. You are right about the op, but one of his sutures (removed) resulted
in a small infection. The doc removed the sutures right after each game to try to avoid infection.

Not trying to be anal but trying to be informative.

4. Curt Schilling is worse than used toilet paper
... and about as smart as what's on it. What kind of man would ignore his doctors advice, which btw, violates his contract with the Red Sox, in order to campaign for a tyrant? Even the austrian groper wouldn't do that.

12. Shilling had a small infection late last week
in the area of his removed sutures. The last news report during the Saturday parade was that the infection was improving.

6. God probably told Curt to campaign for Bush.
God speaks to these people, scary isn't it. With all the problems in the world, God talks only to Republicans. As a REd Sox fan I can honestly say that I would rather have the curse than that scum bag Curt Schilling.

9. You're right.. forget the dying troops and children in Iraq..
God is busy fixing baseball games at the behest of people like Curt. AND.. if God doesn't have enuff on his plate, he's busy helping "God's Own Party" steal the election. God's tired, obviously, of helping people who really need it. God is busy winning the Red Sox game, and Curt.. humble Curt.. is just God's vessel.

Okay.. my biblical knowledge is passing.. but isn't there some sort of passage about God hurting your ankle so that people can recognize them? Or is that an old prayer? I keep thinking of something like.. turning their ankle so we can recognize them by their limp. And I think of Curt out there, misusing his religion to stump for Bush.. who is the LEAST Christian of ALL presidents.. help me out, here.

10. They think that's God talking to them . . . .
. . .I really suspect that it's the voice of someone from the 'Dark Side'.

13. Wow. New meaning of "force".
have you thought that, perhaps, Schilling is just a republican asshole?
Sure seems that way to me.
