(Video) Bush surrounds himself with double-A players

Last night on Scarborough Country, guest Mike Barnicle used a baseball analogy to contrast the Reagan and Clinton presidencies with that of George W. Bush:

BARNICLE: This particular president has surrounded himself consistently with double-A players from the get-go -- from Brownie to this attorney general, to the secretary of defense who was so arrogant he wouldn't listen to anything.  And he's now reaping the rewards of the poor staff that has surrounded him since he arrived in Washington.

It's only a fitting analogy, especially now that the baseball season is less than one week away from starting.  Just think how our country would be different today if George W. Bush took the job as MLB commissioner.  Oops, sorry -- I didn't mean to depress you all.  There is hope at the end of the tunnel.  Only 665 days left.
