Bush tries, and fails, to equate football to war...(Froomkin)

Gators Yesterday

Ben Feller writes for the Associated Press: "Any time he honors a championship team, President Bush looks for a chance to bring up the underdog theme.

"If he can link it to his own presidency, that's even better. . . .

"In a chilly South Lawn ceremony, Bush lauded the University of Florida's football team on Monday for its 2006 championship season. The Gators routed Ohio State, 41-14, in January despite being given little chance to win by oddsmakers and millions of college football fans.

"'Like you might remember, all the pre-game polls said you couldn't win,' Bush told the team. 'So much for polls.'"


Sorry, psychopath, your attempt to play Reagan has worn out. You are a useless, deranged man who should be removed from office immediately and sent to The Hague to stand trial.

7. Obviously war is not the same as football.
If No. 1 USA had just honked to unranked Baghdad State, you can bet the Red, White and Blue would be looking for a new coach!
