Bush calls Bonds

Birds of a feather and all that.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Bush called to congratulate Barry Bonds today, but didn’t weigh in on the steroids controversy surrounding the slugger’s smashing of the home run record.

On Tuesday night in San Francisco, the Giants outfielder hit his 756th career home run, breaking Hank Aaron’s record of 755.

“You’ve always been a great hitter, and you broke a great record,” Bush told Bonds on the phone, according to White House spokesman Tony Fratto.

3. Straw Barry

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, Barry Bonds hit his Brazilianth home run."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi:

6. Bush to Bonds: "I think it's so cool that you hit all those home runs...

"...after you had all those hit records in the early '60s."

Bonds: (pauses) "Um, Mr. pResident, I think you have me confused with Gary 'U.S.' Bonds."

Bush**: "Huh? You're not from the U.S.? But you sound American..." :dunce:
