McNabb Short Armed by Bush
In a bit of a bizarre news story, Jeremy Bloom was at the White House because he was in the Olympics. Bloom tried to give George W. a signed McNabb jersey, but somehow the jersey ended up in his wife's hands. I think it's unfortunate neither of the Bush daughters were present because they surely would have liked to be on the receiving end of Bloom's offering.
-Inky: Eagles Bloom gives signed McNabb jersey to Laura Bush:
After speeches by Bush and speedskater Chris Witty, the president was presented with an Olympic torch and was quickly surrounded by athletes who treated him like a celebrity gold medalist. Bush signed a bobblehead doll, posters, jackets and posed for photos - but somehow seemed not to notice when skier-turned-football-player Jeremy Bloom offered the Philadelphia Eagles jersey signed by McNabb.
So Bloom, who was drafted in the fifth round last month by the Eagles, did the next best thing: He gave the jersey to first lady Laura Bush.
"I was here a week before the draft at the Republican gala, and the president and I were talking about where I was going to go in the draft," Bloom said. "He's a big football fan, so I told him I'd bring him a signed jersey."
Nice Post. I linked it up. I was more amazed by W.'s use of the word "dudesses," which I assume he made up. Genius.

One more reason to dislike Bush.
