George Bush Narrowly Misses Hit by Foul Ball at Rangers-White Sox Game

Former president George W. Bush narrowly missed being hit by a foul ball at last nights’ Rangers-White Sox game.

As the ball dropped into the owner’s box, former First Lady Laura Bush dodged out of its trajectory while her husband and Chicago catcher AJ Pierzynski both attempted – and missed – the catch.

Bush is good at dodging things…… military, prison time, shoes, and now balls!

Are you sure it wasn’t someone throwing their shoe again at that idiot?

A professional baseball catcher and a former President were unable to catch a fowl ball. ABC gave the right amount of attention to this story – two sentences.

If Bush is an idiot, what does that make Obama? Do we even have a word for something that….. Yep I’m drawing a blank.

oh come on people. I didn’t like the man or his cronies politics anymore than the next person but he was enjoying a baseball game, a foul ball came close, and it made a good story. Take it for the light hearted human interest story that it’s meant to be and let it go………..

Jenn, Watched the video four times and never saw Bush touch anyone. Do you often see things that are not there?
