Sporting Event

"I don't view the Olympics as a political event," Bush said this past week. "I view it as a sporting event." The White House has not yet said whether he will attend the opening ceremony on August 8.

Mr. Bush thinks the Olympics are not political but only a sports event. I therefore propose that he not attend as his role as a former part-owner of a baseball team is an inadequate credential to represent American sports. I nominate Michael Jordan and Lance Armstrong to attend in his stead.
