In George Bush's America the number one enemy isn't the Al-Qaeda terrorist network, it's journalists uncovering the truth about the sad, sorry state of our nation.
A few years ago, the President used the State of the Union address to declare war on steriods.
Yes, that's right steriods.
In the wake of Jose Canseco's controversial book about steriod use in Baseball, the President decided to use his address to not speak about lack of health care or jobs, but performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.
Well, ready the 82nd airborne and let's bomb the hell out of "Balco".
Two San Francisco reporters, Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams, took Mr. Bush at his word and both researched and wrote a book called "Game of shadows" that chronicles the rampant drug use of America's favorite sulk and potential home run king, Barry Bonds.
Now, for doing their part in cracking down on rampant drug use in baseball, both Fainaru-Wada and Williams will receive the ultimate gift: A trip to jail.
Barry Bonds, who hit a home run on Friday night to tie Hank Aaron as the all-time Home run leader in the national league, will see his career extend just a little bit along with others who've taken performance-enhancing drugs, but haven't been subject to punishment.
It's funny how the Bush administration can leak the name of a CIA operative to punish her husband who spoke the truth about Bush's sorry war, but want two San Francisco reporters to name 'names' when all they did was try to restore honor and integrity to game of Baseball.
Sounds very funny considering that Bush and Cheney in 2000 wanted to restore honor and integrity to the White House.
The White House has a monopoly on truth and will go to great lengths to protect it, even if it means making themselves look like complete hypocrites.
Their mission is to spread freedom and Democracy throughout the Middle East, but in this great nation, "freedom" and "democracy" are nothing but fantastic marketing slogans.
Williams,Fainaru-Wada and the rest of their ilk are considering to be the great danger to our well-being in this country.
Their job is very simple: To report the truth.
It sounds complicated, but it's not at all.
The truth is something that the Bush administration is deeply afraid of and that's why they've done a remarkable job in privitizing 'truth.'
With the jail sentence handed down to the two San Francisco reporters, it's now official that George Bush's word means nothing.
He can brag about how he's going to rid the world of "evil-doers" or destroy steriod use in sports, but all that Cowboy-rhetoric is to make a simple-minded fool look like Winston Churchill.
And, sir, to be honest I've never met Winston Churchill, but I can say with confidence, that you're no Winston Churchill.
These are troubling times when a reporter is unable to protect his or her source, and is relegated to 'evil-doer'
status.
And, that's how the story goes in George Bush's America.
