Nobody gets it? George Bush, day after 2000 election wanted
most to discuss with the late George Plimpton...something he wrote years ago about a fictional baseball player named Sidd(hartha) Finch(who could pitch 168 mph and was into yoga)on April Fools day.

Sidd wasn't sure if he wanted to play baseball or continue playing the French Horn.

George Plimpton got 2,000 letters about this, from fools who couldn't tell that this was an April Fool's Day joke and wanted to know all about Sidd Finch!!!!!!!!!!!

Did George LEARN how easily folks can be fooled from this?

George didn't want to discuss the election, politics or any such thing...he wanted to hear about imaginary baseball player Sinn Finch.

Is George an imaginary president or is George playing a goulish april fools joke on all of us?

Did George learn from the Sidd Finch goings on, that folks were so stupid that you COULD get them going on just about anything!!!!

Yikes....this is just too much for me.:wtf:
