Rangers name after suite George W. Bush .... bush's greatest hits

[Botany]

Why don't the Rangers post bush's greatest accomplishments too:
War with in a country that did not attack us ... 1,000,000 + dead, 60,000 wounded, injured, taken sick, and mental cases
of our troops, domestic spying, massive corruption, torture, 2 stolen elections, surplus into deficits, global warming, record
profits for the oil companies, bin Laden still not accounted for, 9/11, Katrina, public drunkenness, financial market collapse,
45 million uninsured, Don Seigleman's show trial (the judge was paid off) and imprisonment, Karl Rove, Jeff Gannon,
Dick Cheney lying to start a war and making millions on "it" (the war), home foreclosures, the outing of Val Plame and the
roll up of her front company, Brewster Jennings, which no doubt led to many deaths and more real WMDs being out there,
wild run salmon kills, department of the Interior scandals, Jack Abramoff, massive U.S. job losses, "here in Texas we
execute the retarded," international faux pause too numerous to mention so they can just be called "Angie's List" in honor
of bush's trying to give German Prime Minster Angela Merkel a back rub after telling some Israeli that "pig is good eating"
more terrorists, Dick Cheney's energy task force, going into the White House with the goal of having a war with Iraq, A.Q. Khan,
the special flights for the bin Laden family and friends after 9/11, ENRON, war crimes, phony Christian horse crap ..... God
wanted me to start a war ...... turning the EPA over to polluters, John Bolton, sending Collin Powell to the U.N. to scare
people about anthrax after knowing that the Anthrax for the domestic attacks came from Ft. Dettrick, Maryland, and his
repeated use of the term Nuke-leer.

BTW AWOL from the service, cocaine, dancing nude on bar stools, failed businesses, and his phony Texas cattle
ranch need a little mention too.

BTW part II drunken frat boy, DWIs, arrests, 1 year community service for cocaine, and being a poor student ....

Rangers name owner's suite after former President George W. Bush

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The days of sitting in the cheap seats are long gone for former President George W. Bush.
"I used to do that," Bush said. "It's probably not practical."

When Bush attends Texas Rangers games now, he can sit in a suite named after him.

The owner's suite at Rangers Ballpark was renamed Thursday in honor of Bush, who was the managing general partner of the Rangers from 1989-94. That was before he was elected governor of Texas and later as the 43rd U.S. president.


Bush was presented a red No. 43 Rangers jersey with his name inscribed on the back. He posed for pictures at the suite entrance with Hicks, Astros owner Drayton McLane and Rangers team president Nolan Ryan.

And who was it who traded Sammy Sosa (pre Steroids) for a washed up Harold Baines?

Yep...if the Rangers are looking to honor the years of futility, here's a great way to do it.

Briefly, here's what happened on the Ballpark deal. Bush and his partners in the Rangers convinced Arlington officials to: Pass a half-cent sales tax to pay for 70% of the stadium; use the government's powers of eminent domain to condemn land the Rangers couldn't or didn't want to buy on the open market; give the Rangers control over what happens in and around the stadium; and allow the Rangers to buy the stadium (which cost $191 million to build) for just $60 million. Finally, after 12 years as the sole occupant and primary beneficiary of the stadium project, the Rangers, a privately owned business, can take title to the most expensive stadium ever built in Texas for the $60 million worth of rent and upkeep they will have already paid the city.

Necessary or not, Bush's ownership interest in the Rangers may yet prove an embarrassing entanglement. The Rangers are in an ongoing dispute with the City of Arlington and the Arlington Sports Facilities Development Authority (ASFDA) over who will pay a $4.98 million jury award to the Mathes family, which owned more than 13 acres of land condemned in 1991 by the ASFDA and now covered primarily by parking lots used by stadium visitors. With accumulated interest, the jury award reached a total of $7.2 million last month, when the Mathes family decided to take the jury award and call off their appeal of the verdict. A related lawsuit, known as Ramshire N.V. v. B/R Rangers Associates Ltd., filed in 1994 in Tarrant County against Bush and the other owners of the Rangers, could force the governor to testify under oath about the events that led up to the stadium project.
