They Never Miss An Opportunity
ESPN, broadcasting "Monday Night Football" from the New Orleans Superbowl -- the first game there since Katrina, and a big media deal -- found time to let a camera linger over a "We Love Bush" sign which just happened to belong to someone with a front-row balcony seat.
We can't help wondering -- as we think back to the Major League All-Star Game at which former President George H. W. Bush and his wife were on camera literally all night, seated behind home plate -- how many residents of New Orleans, as a percentage, "love George Bush"?
And what are the odds that one who does would have such a great seat, and make a sign -- and that ESPN would find it and decided to put it on national TV for a good 15 seconds?
These people are diabolical, we tell you. Diabolical.

UPDATE: Thanks to all who emailed to tell us the sign referred to Reggie Bush. We know. This was supposed to be a joke.
Thanks -- we'll be here all week. Try the veal.
