Does anyone think this is a coincidence?
The Tampa Bay Buccanneers won the 2002 Superbowl earlier this year. When a major sports team wins a championship they usually make a visit to the White House.

The owner of the Bucs Malcolm Glazer made the following political contributions:

GLAZER, MALCOLM I
PALM BEACH, FL 33480 $5,000 DNC/Non-Federal Individual

GLAZER, MALCOLM I
PALM BEACH, FL 33480 $20,000 Democratic National Committee


And there has been no visit to the White House. Am I being paranoid or is * the most partisan president in history?

1. I believe the word "petulant" defines Bush in every way!
so I would say yes to your question. partisan, petulant, whistle-asser, incompetent, etc. etc. etc.

2. We are being ruled by a very vindicative man.

Believe me, I recognize the personality type from personal experience, the kind of person who takes pleasure in "getting even" with those who oppose him.

It is rumored in the business community that this is one of the reasons he never succeeded in the oil business. He's a great schmoozer, witness how blind the press has become, but if you resist his one and only ability, the schmoozing, he will hurt you.

On edit: And, oh yes, the pain this kind of person deals is part of a personal dynamic that intensifies their self-righteousness, the more "it" (whatever is the issue) costs(=pain) the more it is worth whatever it costs, the more one exclusively seeks out those who will support the whole painful illusion.

7. Which book about him was it that said he kept lists of reporters when
he worked for his father's campaign? They did not want to get on the bad list. I'm sure the White House must do the same thing now.

He obviously has hatreds against entire countries based on personal reasons. He deliberately didn't thank Canada after 9-11 even after all they did for the US. He snubs Chretien every chance he gets. Ever since Chretien said he is a moron who doesn't know where Prince Edward Island is.

8. I wonder if anyone has compiled a list
It would be a long list.

I'll add another one. When he signed the CFR bill, he did it in a private ceremony rather than together with McCain and Feingold because it was a defeat for him. Schmuck.

10. And if somebody tries to say something like "well, MISTER
Glazer thought he was too important to show up, and refused."

Point out to them that if the Superbowl champions refused a Presidential request, the "liberal media" (give out this person's favorite "liberal media" talking head, not the actual words "liberal media") would have been screaming about it.
