Just to be Clear: It IS Called "Politics," Isn't It?

The darnedest thing happened yesterday after the Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 in a baseball game. St. Louis skipper Tony LaRussa held his usual postgame press conference, but rather than taking questions from reporters in the clubhouse, he instead read a prepared statement that he had written during the game.

"I am surprised and saddened," LaRussa began, "that the Chicago Cubs have abandoned their commitment to honesty and integrity, and have instead chosen to play baseball." Continuing on, despite the obvious confusion on the faces of his listeners, LaRussa noted that the Cubs had scored both of their runs after a leadoff single, a stolen base, a sacrifice bunt, and then a sacrifice fly.

"Our team, which in its own way represents America, is simply trying to go out there and win games," LaRussa said. "However, we can't win many games if teams like Chicago are constantly trying to undermine us by playing baseball while we're trying to win." The Cardinals' manager then concluded by saying that the Cubs were harming the sport by refusing to lay down for his team. "Look, it's real simple. We can't have guys going around trying to beat us. We have to win, and in order to make sure we do, we have to make it so that they always lose. This isn't a game, you know."

Now, that was ridiculous. But not one damn bit more ridiculous than when some fucktard Republican complains about Democrats "playing politics" with the issues. In fact, such a complaint is exactly like complaining that you lost a baseball game because your opponent, well, played baseball better than you did! It's CALLED "politics" for a reason--and I'm guessing that reason is that it is, by definition, political. Any dumbfuck retards on the Right who don't get that should kill themselves now and do the rest of us a favor. Or, am I just "playing smart" in a country that wants to be stupid?
