Info Post



Curt Schilling, he of the World Series "bloody sock" fame, is apparently considering a run for Ted Kennedy's former Senate seat. Schilling's a conservative Christian who openly campaigned for Pres. Bush during the playoffs and World Series in 2004.

While John Kerry was yelling "touchdown!" at Sox games and making Obama look like Cy Young with his first pitches during the '04 campaign, Schilling was winning minds and hearts with his courageous performance. Could Schill and Lerch soon be colleagues?

I think it would be outstanding to have Schilling in the Senate. After all, anything would be an improvement over Kennedy, but Schilling is actually an articulate guy. Plus, he would perhaps bring a little bit of "Mr. Smith" to the Senate. Can you imagine the tectonic shift in Washington of having the Kennedy seat go to a conservative Republican?

He'd be a formidable candidate, I think, in the current political climate. Even Barney Frank is getting heat at the town halls.

Plus, consider all the baseball verbiage Schilling could use, almost to the exclusion of all other typical political-speak. Also, when people say "huh?", Schilling could just say ... "Oh, well, you don't understand. I am a former MLB player. That's high-speed baseball lingo."

Here are some things that Schilling could "hit" right now:

1) That Barack Obama has no ... ba ... game;

2) That Bill Clinton, he cheated more than A-Rod;

2a) Bonus Clinton comment: That Bill Clinton could really lay down a squeeze;

3) That Joe Biden is not qualified to coach first base at Pawtucket;

4) That Obama Administration has more free-swingin' lefties than the Cuban national team. Come to think of it, they are the Cuban national team; and ...

5) That Michelle Obama has had more crazy uniforms than the Houston Astros, and I mean not even I could look good in those classic rainbows.

Okay, maybe I could. Maybe those were the most glorious uniforms ever. Maybe the Houston Astros rule the baseball universe, but I digress ... Michelle's colors do look similar to the 'Stros 'Bows, only they don't match as well. But any one could look good in these unis, especially me.

But I would look better in the Senate.
