Political insiders have long been wondering how Rep. Nancy Pelosi would mark Barry Bonds breaking of Hank Aaron’s home run record. Pelosi represents San Francisco, where Bonds plays baseball with the Giants, but recent allegations of Bonds’ doping have brought into question Pelosi’s support of the historic milestone.
But Wednesday Pelosi issue a statement on Bonds’ achievement:
“Tonight, Barry Bonds etched his name into baseball’s history books and took his rightful place among sport’s immortals,” Pelosi said.
Excuse me? “His rightful place among sport’s immortals”? His rightful place would be face down in a gutter from a drug overdose, not sharing even a moment with the likes of Henry Aaron.
What did you expect from either Bonds or Pelosi? Both are living in a drug-induced haze. Both should simply disappear quietly and leave the rest of us alone.
