"The president is very disappointed to hear this," Bush spokesman Tony Fratto said. "As this case is now in the criminal justice system, we will refrain from any further specific comments about it. But clearly this is a sad day for baseball."

No, asshole it's a great day for baseball, a sad day for fuckhead Barry.

I don’t see why his taking steroids is such a big deal.  Athletes, models and actors are disposable and exist for our amusement.  If they choose to take drugs or have surgery to increase their market value to consumers, this is not a big deal as far as I’m concerned.  They are just a different class of prostitute from the ones who sell their genitals to the public.  It still amounts to selling their bodies and it isn’t the government’s business to tell them what drugs or body modifications are appropriate to increase their meat value.

Ding ding ding.  I could care less.  Barry Bonds just got caught.

They should have a 'clean' league (where nobody does any drugs stronger than Postum) and an 'unlimited' league (where they sky's the limit - steroids, blood doping, whatever - have at it!), just like in racing.
