Payback is a Dog in Heat

Short diary, and please let me know if it's been diaried already.

ESPN story here tells how Dale Petroskey resigned Tuesday as president of the baseball Hall of Fame after its board's executive committee found he "failed to exercise proper fiduciary responsibility."

You know who Dale Petrovsky is, don't you?

Kriss Kross says "jump"

This is the same lunkhead who cancelled a 15th year anniversary celebration of the movie Bull Durham because of Tim Robbins' "very public criticism of President Bush" right after the war started in 2003.

Fiduciary duties? Seems Petroskey put the interests of others over the interests of the Hall of Fame. The GOP? George Bush? Halliburton's?

At least, since he quit, he doesn't get to collect unemployment. Probably gets a golden parachute, however.

•  Kind of hard to tell from the article, but

  maybe he invested the Hall of Fame's endowment in rare coins?

•  A little research...

  ...on opensecrets.org reveals that Mr. Petrovsky's political contributions over the past few years - while limited - have been limited to GOP candidates.

  A Republican doing a poor job of managing money? Say it ain't so!
