Mustaches and 'roid rage

What do Rafael Palmeiro and John Bolton have in common?

1. Steroids: Verbal Jazz once joked that John Bolton's mustache and rage were steroid induced. Now Raffy has been suspended for violation of the Major League Baseball drug policy.

2. Mustaches: and what mustaches they are!

3. Support of President Bush: According to the Associated Press, White House Press Secretary Scott McLellan said that President Bush considers considers Palmeiro "a friend and he believes him." Raffy will prove to be as popular as Social Security reform.

4. Absolutely no chance of getting a yes vote: hence Bolton's recess appointment to the UN and Raffy's future of trying to tunnel into the Baseball Hall of Fame with Pete Rose.

Late night comedy writers are already working on the obvious joke - Raffy thought those little blue pills were for different sort of performance enhancement; perhaps the fact that has not yet gone blind should have been the big tip off.
