George W. Bush Honors Athletes -- And So Do I!

Today George W. Bush thanked America's 2006 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Teams for bringing honor to our country. Not surprisingly, given the striking similarity of our lives, I recently made a similar speech to some athletes in Brooklyn.

Here's what George W. Bush said today to the Olympic athletes, followed by what I said to the athletes playing pick-up basketball at Lincoln playground on 6th Avenue over the weekend:

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thanks for creating so many lasting memories for the American people. We love our athletes. We follow your successes. We love it when the "Star Spangled Banner" is played. We also understand that not everybody is going to win the Gold, but we appreciate so much the fact that you competed so hard and in such a way that brought honor to our country.

PAUL M. SARK: Thanks for creating so many lasting memories for the American people. We understand that not everybody is going to win the Gold. In fact, I'll bet you fellows here have never even heard of the Olympics. Still, judging by the gold on your teeth and hanging around your necks you are aware of the prestige of gold. Anyway, we appreciate so much the fact that you compete so hard and in such a way to bring honor to our country.

Personally, I think President Bush would make a great baseball commissioner. And perhaps you too?

I think George W. Bush would make a great commissioner.

Think about it -- the owners called in Kennesaw Mountain Landis to clean up the Black Sox mess, which is not so different from when the Supreme Court hired George W. to clean up that election mess in Florida.

And both did excellent jobs. And, just think, we've got two more years to go with George W. -- he's really just getting started when you think about it!

Jeepers, he should run a professional Ball Club. Perhaps he should look into that when he's finished with us. Yeah, you could too Paul. That'd be swell.

Paul M. Sark, it must be exciting to wake up every day and find out how similar your previous day was to George W's. I'm a little jealous.
