      Bush also rides a Segway like a champion, eats a pretzel like giant, and gets out of military service like a super hero!

        I'll play along. I'll imagine I happened to be running an employment agency, and had two job openings, one for president of the United States, and one for the guy who runs the dunk tank at the county fair midway.

        If George Bush and Obama walked in to my office, it would be a no-brainer.That carny needs a good arm to make it look easy and bring the suckers in.

        I have to agree, Obama's heater wasn't too,impressive. Fortunately, that's not really an important skill for the President. Obviously, it was at the top of Bush's resume, if his biggest promoter is citing it.

            There once was a corpulent ass

            Whose balls were made out of brass

            'Cause the rotund, loud prick

            Couldn't find his own dick

            Much less throw a ball o'er rye grass

          "I thought he would throw harder than that since he likes baseball. But he got it there,'' Chone Figgins said. "Somebody asked whether he had a good curveball and he said, 'If I had a good curveball, I wouldn't be president.'"

          Bush knows so much about baseball that he traded Sammy Sosa for Harold Baines. (And then traded Baines less than a full season later.)

          Shrewd.

      I'd pay big buck to see the Great Gasbag throw out the first ball. Sadly, he'd need help climbing the mound let alone actually throwing the ball. Still, I hear when he's on vacation he does enjoy pitching.

      Yeah, real "men" almost die from eating a pretzel.

      This is also what a real "man" looks like:

        Nice ones Harley. The 2nd from the bottom pic of Bush sort of reminded me of this guy.

        A possible running mate for Sarah Palin? A good arm, and similar communication skills .

      Well, if we're going to analyze presidents by physical mannerisms, what's with that phony "gunfighter" stance that Bush always assumed? Did he have to practice it in front of a mirror? Did he adopt such a goofy posture because the political cartoonists portrayed his father as "wimpy"?

      Bush was a cheerleader. I am sure Rush has a skirt or a tiara or 2 in his wardrobe. Could it be his cross dressing that warrants all his ex-wives to be sworn to secrecy?

      I saw Limbaugh throw out a ceremonial pitch at a Royals game many years ago. I believe it was either George Brett's last game, or, perhaps the game where they retired Brett's number. His pitch wasn't so pretty either. In fact, it appeared he had never thrown a baseball before.

      You know I hate to admit it but Rush actually said one completely true thing in that bit....

      President Ford was very athletic (arguably in fact our most athletic president) and was not at all clumsy and Chevy Chase managed to change that perception single handedly by capitalizing on the one clumsy thing Ford did


      That said I dont see why this a news story. Was Obama's pitch good? by the standards of a MLB pitcher, hell no. By the standards of most people who toss out the opening pitch at baseball games, yea it was at least average.

      I mean whats the suprise? a non-professonal athlete who's only sports background is a different sport isnt good at baseball?

      Suprisingly to Rush perhaps I judge my presidents on more then their pitching abilities...I take a bad pitcher who gets things done politically and fixes the problems in our country, over a president who pitches like a Hall of Famer but is otherwise incompetent
