Fire George W. Bush's Catching Skills



During a recent Rangers/White Sox game in Texas, former President George W. Bush failed to protect himself and his wife when a foul ball landed just inches from their seats. This general wussiness and lack of chivalry should be fired.

W remained seated with a slightly confused look on his face (not unlike when his people tried to explain to him why the economy collapsed in 2008) as a foul ball from Texas 3B Adrian Beltre went over the protective screen surrounding W's front-row seat and nearly smacked the ex-prez. in the head. Laura Bush was seated right next to W and he made no move whatsoever in her direction.

Not only should more be expected from a man out with his wife, but more should be expected from a former Rangers owner who played high school baseball and can still throw a strike when called upon. Plus, it's not like this was a hard line drive. Those are scary and should only be caught by fans with gloves. This ball was a weak pop up.

Sadly W's actions should come as no real surprise. He bailed on that foul ball just like he bailed on grammar during his presidency.
