There is something funny about the way Presidents seem to get injured. This is the one area where Democrats are far more macho than Republicans. With the notable exception of Ronald Reagan taking a slug to the chest, the Republicans have suffered from ailments that would be considered wimpy by the math club. George W. ran or rode a bike everyday and still got his ass kicked by a pretzel. His dad went one better throwing up and passing out on another world leader. How much teasing do you think he took every year at the G20? 41 was also shut down for a funky heartbeat when he was jogging one day. Not exactly getting your windpipe crushed while changing the transmission in a topless dancer's car, testosterone wise, is it?
Democrats on the other hand are at least engaging in something other than banquets when they get hurt. Bill Clinton tore his knee up falling down the stairs at Greg Norman's place in Florida. Rumor has it they were on a pretty good bender and chasing women around the place. Not exactly a pretzel is it? He also had a very well publicized groin pull while he was President. And then the castration by Hillary. Billy boy was tougher than he looked.
Barrack taking one to the grill while manning up on "D" is macho. And his street cred needed some help. After having to throw out the first pitch a couple of times there were some serious questions being raised. Did his daughters teach him to throw? Should Michelle be invited next time? Is he really left-handed? See what I mean? The president needed something to look tougher. It might have been better if the Secret Service didn't shoot the guy with the ball afterward. Or if he finished the game bleeding and all. Like Nolan Ryan when he took that ground ball to the lip. Blood everywhere and he struck out the next batter. Comparing Nolan Ryan to Barrack isn't quite fair. Asking Erkel to ride a horse like John Wayne isn't fair either.
till next..........
