More Bush Hypocrisy - Baseball Edition

Chimpy McFlightSuit will be throwing out the first pitch tonite in DC when the Braves play the National, providing him a new avenue for his hypocrisy, below the fold....
The Nationals catcher is Paul LoDuca, cited in the Mitchell Report last fall as having used performance enhancing drugs (PED). Normally, the first pitch is thrown to the home team catcher (LoDuca). However, the Chimp refuses to throw to LoDuca, due to the PED link, and will toss the rock to the Nats manager Manny Acta, instead.
A bit hypocritical, no? Chimpy owned the Texas Rangers when it was clear players were jumping on the PED bandwagon in droves. Collectively, the owners (and the commissioner) put on blinders. Juiced up players were hitting home runs in record numbers, and the turnstiles were spinning. Not wanting to rock the goose that laid the golden egg, they all went into 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil' mode.
That PED use escalated further and wider is as much the fault of the owners/commissioner, Chimpy included, as the players. Perhaps Acta should refuse to catch the throw from the Hypocrite-in-Chief.
