Who gives a flying turd what his reason was, he has nor reason to explain why he did not want to go to any party anywhere. His choice , his freedom to decide how to spend his off hours.
Bite my ass, vesta. Michael Jordan blew off Bush 41 in the early 90's. Nobody said shit.
Ozzie Guillen and a number of the Chicago White Sox blew off Bush 43 in 2006. Nobody said shit.
Theo Epstein didn't show up at the White House after EITHER of the Sox World Series wins. Nobody said shit.
So vesta, do us all a favor, and don't say shit.
