Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
George Bush welcomed the Boston Red Sox to his home yesterday -- it's something called the "White House" -- to congratulate them on their World Series victory of '07. As he usually does at these sports celebrations, he cracked a few jokes. (It's sports! It's fun!)One of which involved Daisuke Matsuzaka -- chronicled last night here at FanHouse. Another involved Manny Ramirez, who didn't make the trip yesterday to the White House. Bush had this to say about Manny:
"I love the fact that you've got some of the game's biggest stars. I mean, 'Big Papi,' the guy lights up the screen. He brings a great personality - (applause). I'm sorry his running mate, Manny Ramirez, isn't here. I guess his grandmother died again. (Laughter.) Just kidding. (Laughter.) Tell Manny I didn't mean it."You can watch video of said quote here. If you remember last spring training, it was reported Manny didn't report to spring training because he was with his sick mother, but then reports surfaced he was actually at a car show. (Theo Epstein later cleared this up, saying he wasn't going to a car show and instead attending to family matters.)
On any accord, this probably wasn't in the best taste or choice of words, but hey, the speech writers for Bush have a hard enough time as it is, huh?
