Would you believe some well-minded journalist actually asked BHO's thoughts on Alex Rodriguez. That's right. A-Rod's foibles have been lifted into the same discussion as economic stimulus and avoiding another Great Depression. I can't believe I just wrote that sentence. Seriously. And this is what our country has come to...Almost as remarkable was the fact that BHO adressed it! Although being the adroit performer, BHO used it as public service about children and lessons learned. Blah Blah Blah.
Can you imagine Helen Thomas asking Ronald Reagan back in the day about the demise of one Lyle Alzado?
And keeping on all things A-Rod, what happened to Peter Gammons? This guy was once an earnest reporter. Then he throws in with ESPN and that's where the trouble starts.
He gets the interview of the sports year---no doubt handpicked by the evil Scott Boras. But what does Gammons do? He serves as the chief softball tosser to A-Rod. C'Mon Pete. Suzyn "Goodness Gracious" Waldman might have been tougher. At no time, does Gammons ask an intelligent follow-up or do some deductive reasoning. Instead we're forced to take in more spin and more deception. Ugly. If A-Rod besmirched a careerby taking steroids, than Gammons did equal damage to his by playing the part of A-Rod's hostess. Presumably Gammons can resume his career as a stand-in to Andrew Jackson--a.k.a the guy on the $20 bill.
