Curt Schilling: Bush re-election more important than the Red Sox

[Bluebear]

Curt Schilling is not done shilling for his beloved W. Appearing on FOX television's "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" he said...

Curt: "I got trashed for that here (supporting Bush in Kerry's back yard). I find it ironic, people can burn flags in this country, The KKK can march, but I can't support my President publicly? That's a joke."

(Host) Tom Arnold: "You get one choice. George Bush gets re-elected President or Red Sox win the World Series for the first time in '86 years, what are you going to choose?"

Curt: "George Bush"

1. i hope his ankle never heals

[Voltaire]

2. I loved him when he pitched for my Phillies

But fuck that bastard now. He's not a mouthbreather and smart enough to know better which makes him even worse.

[ilovenicepeople]

21. And I loved him when he lost to my Bluejays

actually the Expos were my team :cry: FUCK MLB (greedy bastards)

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. May he become a cripple and NEVER play again!

:grr:

[BJ]

4. Who the hell stopped that jerk from putting his foot in his mouth?

Hey, Curt, the joke's on you. Nobody said you aren't an athletic supporter for pResident Bush!

[Brotherjohn]

5. What an idiot! No one ever said he can't support Bush publicly!

He just should expect the same ire from Dems that Repubs throw at celebrities who openly back Kerry. Dixie Chicks, anyone? And I don't even wanna talk about the bile that's thrown at Hollywood celebrities every day. Until Arnold ran for guv, all they ever said was that celebrities should "keep their mouth shut" about politics. Of course, they forgot that for about a week after Arnold won, and are back to it now.

Republicans can be such thin-skinned, hypocritical crybabies.

6. funny

i often procLaim i'd give up this worLd series (and the sox never, ever win) to get bush out.

[Career Prole]

7. As Hall of Famer Ted (Teddy Ballgame) Williams used to say...

"The only thing dumber than a fuckin' pitcher is two fuckin' pitchers!"
Truer words were never spake.
Miss ya, Ted!

[Bluebear]

8. Bless his frozen head :) n/t

[Career Prole]

9. I think we should rescue him.

There may be a movie in it for us. :D

[tk2kewl]

10. I think my prayer was answered

May those who love you, love you.....and those who don't, may God turn their heart, and if he can not turn their heart, may he turn their ankle so you will know them by their limp

[peekaloo]

17. amen.

LOL

[tmooses]

11. Hey, Curt you know what I find fucking ironic?

I find it ironic you can't attend "your president"'s events without signing a pledge. I think it's "ironic" people are thrown out of Bush rallies for wearing a "protect my civil liberties" tee-shirt.I also think it's kind of ironic that we have to listen to your political views on TV when all you are is a fucking pitcher with a tax break.

[KamaAina]

12. When the Sox had their parade using Duck boats...

...they should have given Schilling his very own "Chickenhawk Boat"!

What a moran. Is he even aware that all six New England states voted against that other "righty"?

[Zynx]

13. Two things are clear:

1. He's not a true Red Sox fan even though he plays for them.

2. He's an asshole.

[Unstuck In Time]

14. Isn't that typical of these repuke idiots. Every one of them...

... walks around with a persecution complex.

No one told schilling he couldn't publicly support a candidate.

We were ticked off at him for harshin' our buzz, dragging politics into a what should have been a total time-out from divisiveness.

It was supposed to be a celebration, jackass.

[Johonny]

15. well

Baseball has THE strongest union in sports. Here is union man Curt Schilling supporting union hating Bush(a former baseball owner). Needless to say Curt is the poster boy for person for whom voted for the president and yet whos best interest is completely opposite that vote. It's not hard to see Curt legacy when Ken Burn III makes his Baseball 2080 documentary about the 2010s the decade that broke the union and returned ballplayers back into indentured servants. Me thinks the future MLB players will not look so kindly to ballplayers of today. Men who cried union everywhere but the polls and will eventually find out how very dumb that was.

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. Excellent point about the union!

Where would Schilling be without it? Yeah, his agent has probably earned his fees. But just wait...Schilling will do something and call his Union rep on speed dial.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

16. What a fucking idiot........

......really, he can't stop proving what a loudmouth simpleton he really is.

Besides, Curt, most Bush rallies look like a KKK march without the white hoods.

[UNIXcock]

18. Him and Randy Johnson led the AZ Diamondbacks

... to the World Series win over NY Yankees here a few years ago. He is great to watch. I just don't agree with his politics. Him and Luis Gonzales were both admitted Conservatives when they played here.

[lthuedk]

19. And this...is what we face. Good people, but very ignorant.

Is that how it was in 1864?

[Columbia]

22. Couple things

1. You gotta admire a guy who at least has his priorities straight. He's a critical member on a team that millions would probably kill to see win the World Series, but at least he's got his head screwed on enough to realize that in the end it's just a game and the country isn't going to change for the better or worse for it.

2. However, you can't admire him for who he would choose to sacrifice that rather meaningless game for. :puke:

[dave502d]

23. I hope they boo him out of the game.n/t

[Vote4Kerry]

24. Time to send Schilling off to Iraq

He loves Bush and his policies so much, then he can go and fight in his war then. Everybody, also sign this petition from Nader's site to get Bush impeached. Thank you!
