Compassionate Conservatism and Steroids

Whats wrong with this.

George Bush had the temerity in two accounts. First as owner of a baseball team and secondly as a President in declaring the indictment of Barry Bonds a "sad day for baseball."

The pronouncement accomplished one thing, reinforcing human idiocy in the context of hypocrisy on a Texas sized grand scale. George Bush first as an owner of a baseball team, the Texas Rangers, was part of the steroid producing fabric which by the way created the entertaining spectacle Bush now derides as a sad day for baseball. Secondly as President, Bush abridged the will of the people in the matter of U.S. vs Scooter Libby which was all about perjury.

Scooter Libby was convicted in a matter of national security, specifically putting a C.I.A. agent in harms way.

Whats further unwholesome about the Scooter Libby incident is Men, privileged men without any hesitation decided a woman, Valerie Plame was fair game.

Bush never pronounced that was a sad day in U.S. affairs, he didn't tongue in cheek declare it a sad day for the human condition. Bush instead, by decree decided Scooter Libby's felonious malfeasance was excusable.

Should the issue of steroids even be a Bush Administration social policy concern and priority when 2 million human-beings fill up U.S. jails and prisons? It causes one to wonder, besides reactionary demagoguery what world view Bush and Co. truly have.
