Title: Obama swings and misses at Sox lore
Post by: Ralph Wiggum on April 07, 2010, 09:25:54 AM
Blame Rahm Emanuel for team’s No. 1 fan dropping the ball during interview

What's happening to President Barack Obama, America's No. 1 White Sox fan, is just absolutely terrible.

OK, sure, the poor guy committed a grievous baseball sin. But now he's taking a beating, the kind Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano would give his own catcher, or maybe his manager.

It almost reminds me of the time CBS' Katie Couric sweetly asked Sarah Palin what she liked to read. Palin drew a blank and reporters never let her live it down.

But I say, let's leave the poor president alone. After all, he's a White Sox fan, isn't he?

-snip-

"When I moved to Chicago," Obama babbled to Dibble, "I was living close to what was then Cominskey Park and went to a couple of games and just fell in love with it."

What's that? Come-in-ski? Is that how Obama invites the Russian foreign minister into the Oval Office during a diplomatic crisis?

Clearly, there was no teleprompter upon which White House media wizard David Axelrod could type the words "Pudge = Carlton Fisk" or "Big Hurt = Frank Thomas."

At least he didn't say Bobby Pierzynski or A.J. Jenks.

And anyone who would have even mildly followed the team in the last 20 years would have known Frank Thomas, Harold Baines, and Ozzie Guillen right off the tops of their pointy little heads.
