Real Reason To Vote For Bush

Okay, forget Iraq, the economy, health care, social security, and all the other lesser issues. There is a BIG baseball reason to vote for Bush:

Kerry has said he was at Shea Stadium for the 1986 World Series game 6, when Saint Bill Buckner let the ball go through his legs. He even was quoted as saying he had a champagne bottle ready to pop. Ignoring the issue of getting booze into (as opposed to in) Shea stadium, it has been confirmed that Kerry was in Boston that evening at a political dinner. Kerry's spokesman told ESPN he went to the dinner then took the shuttle to New York and caught the end of the game.

Problems with this:

1. When did a political dinner last end at 6:00 or 7:00, in time to get all the travel done and catch a game? (never) When did a smart politician last leave a political dinner early? (never)

2. Even if he left early, he got through the notorious Boston traffic, caught a shuttle, got transportation from the airport in New York City, and made it through New York's traffic in time to catch the end of the game?
(Not likely)

3. Assume he really did do all of this-would a true Red Sox fan, with the Sox up 3 games to 2, against a NEW YORK team, one game away from breaking the curse, with seats 30 feet from Buckner, really skip that game?
(No way)

4. How many true Red Sox fans went to a political dinner as opposed to watching the potential World Series clincher?

(zip/nada)

Aside from every other issue, on the baseball issue, the man is either a non-truth teller, and he really wasn't at the game, OR, he told the truth but he's a ding **** for skipping most or all of that game for a political dinner.

Either offense is impeachable........

p.s. sorry, I didn't know ding d o n g was a banned expression, meant here only in the cleanest sense of the word.
