No Place to Hide: MSNBC Works Bush-Bashing Into Baseball Article

August 30th, 2006 3:14 PM

Bush supporters who think that the MSM's sports pages might offer a respite from Bush-bashing should think again.  MSNBC managed to slip a sneak attack on the president into a seemingly innocuous article on the recent collapse of the Boston Red Sox.

Wrote MSNBC contributor Bob Cook, criticizing Sox General Manager Theo Epstein [pictured here]:

"Epstein might be better [sic] keeping his mouth shut for a while. His recent, unfoundedly optimistic pronouncements have him sounding like President Bush on Iraq."

Quite the seventh-inning stretch, there, Bob.
