The Ashcroft Steroid Bust and the SOTU: Which came first?
Did you ask yourself how strange it was for Bush to include steroids in his State of the Union Address? I know I certainly did. Steroids? Now there's an issue to grab America's attention and hold it.

Well today it all makes sense. On CNN Headline News they showed * talking about steroids during the SOTU and during the story about the bust. My theory is that Rove knew about the steroid bust in advance and had it included in the SOTU to make Bush look like he was tough on crime. It also made him look like he was doing something other than lie and bumble his way through his Presidency.

1. When I watched, I remember thinking "gee, THAT was random!"
Steroid use. WHAT a critically pressing and vital issue to this country! Wow.

2. Nice dots connected there.

But as an issue, it's still not on my top ten list of things that need to be addressed NOW.

Of course, I never owned a baseball team.

3. Agreed.
The question is answered. Our safety is reassured with this bold move.
Hercules has cleared the stables. When I lay me down to sleep I will feel so secure.

Ashcroft's shriveled mind was molded for narrow perception and ridicule.

4. thought the same thing
I guess this time he figured something he talked about in the SOTU had to actually happen so he picked something he knew was in the works.... real nice, god I hate that * imposter.
