The irony of chimp opening play at RFK
I'm sure not pointing out anything new, but its worth while pointing out once more . . .

The Washington Senators left DC to become the Texas Rangers. Which, as you know, our beloved chimpanzee-in-chief was a part owner of for a time. So now to have him, as one of the people who benefited from baseball leaving DC, to be the one welcoming it back, would be like Walter O'Malley throwing out the opening pitch if (when) major league baseball returns to Brooklyn . . .

But then I guess it is similar, in a way, to the irony of naming an airport for the president that broke the air-traffic controllers union. The GOP isn't anything if not a cauldron of evil, irony, and hypocrisy.

1. Judging from the way Chimpy let that opening pitch go last night
...he will probably develop a rotary-cup injury to his shoulder.
