...doubt he's heard about it yet, the book just hit the stands. I look forward to perhaps getting a nicely wrapped dead gerbil or something like that [in the 1980s, Kingman infamously mailed a dead rat to a reporter. Past winners of this "award," besides Kingman, include Steve Balboni, Fred Lynn, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire. The 2007 winner was Cincinnati Reds catcher Dave Ross, who hit 17 home runs - with a mere 39 RBIs. He hit just .203, and struck out 92 times in 311 at bats...

First, they had to overcome their history, which is neither dead nor buried, despite what both sides want you to think. Spend anytime with close Bush aides, especially those from the now-exiled Texas mafia who grew up politically around 43 as Governor, and conversation inevitably turns back to the campaign of 2000: how Bush scraped himself off the floor after New Hampshire; how McCain's current campaign chairman, Rick Davis, produced lousy ads during that...
