...Strawberry appeared at training camp after failing the test, he said that he did not want to hide from anything. It is about time that he stop hiding from his responsibilities and the consequences of his actions. Major League Baseball has dealt decisively with players who gamble or spout racist rhetoric.

"Bush went to the head of the class with his visit to Bob Jones University," says Lopez. The university embraces staunchly right-wing (some would say racist) rhetoric, which Bush didn't address on his trip to the school. That sort of miscue won't play well in California or New York - and Bush has been backtracking since his Bob Jones appearance, claiming the visit was meant to emphasize his "compassionate" side. We'll see if voters agree...
