Bush: What steroid problem?



John D. McKinnon blogs that Perino was asked yesterday why Bush didn't notice the epidemic of performance-enhancing drugs that was taking hold of the game when he was an owner.
Perino pointed to an ESPN interview in which he said that he's thought long and hard about it, but doesn't recall ever seeing or hearing evidence of a steroid problem.

Writes McKinnon: "A Fox News reporter, Wendell Goler, pointed out that former Ranger Jose Canseco has said 'he cannot comprehend why Mr. Bush didn't know that steroid use was going on on the team.' So does Bush regret not picking up on the problem, Goler asked?

"'I don't think it's a time for regret,' Perino said. 'I think it's time to do what the president has done, which is . . . to shine a light on the issue. And now we have a result . . . a report that is getting a lot of attention, and deservedly so.'"

Oh, now he can't recall ever seeing any evidence on steroid problem. Please remind me what does George do all day in his office?

As Bush was a stupid drunken owner this makes since. Now he doesn't know what steroid means so this might help you understand what he says. As for the players they will do just fine. Now when their contracts are up the owners will get a cheaper price this time as they use the fact of this headline. It's all about money with baseball nothing but money.
