it may surprise many of my colleagues to hear this, but I am now convinced George Bush should remain in Washington. Now that D.C. has a baseball team, there is finally a job in this town which George Bush is qualified for and the work is not that hard or tough. He may not know how many troops we need in Iraq, but even he knows that you need nine baseball players on the field; and in baseball, you do not declare mission accomplished until the game's last out. I am surprised the White House has not boasted about the Expos' move from Montreal. After all, they are finally creating some jobs here in America. Of course, the President would have some explaining to do to his new team. He will have to break it to them that they have just moved from a nation with universal health care to a Nation where 45 million people lack coverage. Welcome to the ownership society. He will also need to warn them that it is not just chin-high fast balls that they need to watch out for in Washington, since the Republican Congress and the NRA just erased the city's gun laws. When head of the Texas Rangers, George Bush traded Sammy Sosa. In November Americans have a chance to trade George Bush.
