(AP) Following yesterday’s criticism of Democratic candidate for President, Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), for delaying a possible game 6 of the World Series 15 minutes by buying ad time on every channel in the world, RNC spokesman Alex Conant spoke out against what he called "an even greater sin against our national pastime."
Conant had been quoted as saying, "It’s unfortunate that the World Series’ first pitch is being delayed for Obama’s political pitch, Not only is Obama putting politics before principle, he’s putting it before our national pastime." Today he offered the comment that, "You know who is responsible for even more delays of baseball games? God. Not only that, but He does so by raining on them, getting hundreds of thousands of baseball fans wet every year."
"It’s bad enough that Obama wants to delay a game 15 minutes so he can talk about the future of our country. What does God delay those games for? To water some plants? How degrading. I would have thought the deity who sacrificed His son for us could wait until the game’s over to take care of His yardwork." The Almighty could not be reached for comment.
