Bush, Baseball and Steroids

While as owner of the Texas Rangers, Bush oversaw/permitted the who's who of steroid users in baseball to hone their craft:

President Bush was managing general partner of the Texas Rangers from 1989 until he was elected Texas governor in 1994. Several former Rangers — Ivan Rodriguez, Juan Gonzalez, Rafael Palmiero, and Jose Canseco — are all alleged to have used, or have admitted to using, steroids while playing for Bush.

The larger point, I think, is not that Bush allowed cheating to take place, but rather that he failed to have a decent team even when he cheated. During his 5 year tenure, the Rangers were 466-458, barely above 500. Not exactly bad, but pretty pathtic considering the edge you gave yourself. To put this in perspective, it would be as if Team Bush finishes in middle of the pack at Tour de France after shooting steroids up to their eyeballs or... if Bush stacks the 2006 elections in their favor via caging and crooked US attorneys... and still manage to lose it.  

Just saying.
