Bush and the Sox

Fox Sports has the following info about Johnny Damon's views on meeting the President:

Damon wants Bush's autograph for his 5-year-old son.

"He knows every single president," Damon said. "His favorite, of course, is Zachary Taylor because he carried a sword. So I'm going to tell President Bush (to) start carrying a sword. He's going to have a stronger fan base."

That's fantastic on so many levels. Bush is meeting with the Red Sox (have we mentioned they are World Series Champions?), Damon's son knows every president at the age of 5, he knows that Zachary Taylor carried a sword, and of course the image of Bush with walking around with a cavalry sword.

That made my day.

It illustrates perfectly the reason for Congress' abysmal approval ratings, currently lower than those of President Bush: NONE of them get it. Claire and everyone else following Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid on the Good Ship Stop-n-Drop are trying to make this out to be the Republicans against the Democrats. The Iraq debate isn't some college contest to see who comes away with the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship belt. There's no scorecard to which our esteemed elected representatives ought to be checking to see if they are winning. When it comes to Iraq, we have a major problem needing a solution not a fight in the middle of the night whe
