Famous baseball throwing guy Curt Schilling:
"I guess what I am saying, or asking, is that if you are undecided about who to cast your vote for, don’t vote for someone a celebrity tells you to vote for. That’s lame, lazy and disrespectful of the rights you’ve been given," Schilling wrote. "Take the time to listen and see these people. I don’t doubt for a second that if you listen to these men and women, if you hear what they are saying, if you look at what kind of people they are, I don’t think you can come to any other conclusion than John McCain is far and away the best human being alive to be the next President of the United States of America."
But you shouldn’t vote for someone a celebrity tells you to vote for.
Um, okay.

Thanks just the same Curt, but I’m waiting to see who Lester’s coming out for before I make my final decision.
Does a has-been count as a celebrity?
But, but, but…what about the most famous celebrity of them all, Joe the Plumber?
I’m with JayBrida–let’s hear what a lefty has to say.
And Schilling can shove a bloody sock in it.
Screw that. I’m waiting for the Barry Bonds endorsement before I make up my mind.
Pardon me but,
What. The. Fuck. Best human being alive?
Sorry, but as much as I have “Take the time to listen and see these people…”, and prefer Senator Obama over Mr Schilling’s choice, I tend to believe that whoever the best human being alive to have the job would not even want it (kind of a conundrum of governance).
Why the fucking fuck would I listen to a rich jock republican scrote talk about anyfuckingthing?
Shorter Curt Schilling:
All cretins – er, Cretans – are liars.
Uh, Curt? You were an asshole when you pitched for the Phillies, and it seems you went downhill from there. Athletes are known for being stump stoopid, you do not disappoint.
HEY – if it’s Thursday, it must be time for Basset Blogging!

Jonny Bench would get the biggest laugh about any advice from any pitcher.
Kurt: This batter can’t hit a curve ball.
Jonny: Kurt, he can hit your curve ball.
I don’t think you can come to any other conclusion than John McCain is far and away the best human being alive to be the next President of the United States of America.
I think Kurt is implying he’d really prefer Reagan.
Thanks TBogg, thanks a goddamned million. For the first time in 28 years we get to remember Tug McGraw, Schmidt, Carlton, Maddox and Rose brought to the present in the form of Utley, Lidge, Howard and Victorino, and you drag out Schilling?
Curt fucking Schilling? I’m surprised your post didn’t contain some quotes from Frank Rizzo as well.
Curt Schilling is to wisdom as Sam Wurzelbacher is to well … knowledge of any sort.
What a shill. ing. har har har.
From the photo on the MSNBC front page, looks like he’s got a stick up his ass. Looks like Cindy maybe put it there.
“Retired athletes Patrick Ewing, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Muhammad Ali and Charles Barkley are supporting Obama. Retired athletes John Elway, Troy Aikman, Nolan Ryan and Jack Nicklaus are backing McCain.”
Hmm, rich Black guys voting for Obama and rich White guys voting for McCain.
Real subtle.
Schilling endorsed McCain before the primaries started. BFD.
thank you. adorable
This is nowhere as good as Ben Stein on Craig Ferguson’s show last night. Stein said, after going on and on about what a stupid stupid stupid thing it was to pick Palin for a running mate and that’s not the only stupid thing McCain had done in this campaign, and, by the way, McCain finished last in his class at the Naval Academy, that of course he is going to vote for McCain.
Ferguson expressed surprise. Stein said he’s voting for McCain because he was tortured, and that’s all Stein needs — he says McCain deserves his vote because of the torture he endured.
POW…POW…POW…POW…
My name is Curt Schilling, and I have a raging hard on for John McCain. I gots to get me sum a dat old Senator. Deee-licious. Best man alive.
(ew)
John McCain: Best Man Alive. Take that, Martti Ahtisaari, you peacemongering asshole!
Oh and xpurg8d?
When Obama X gives me my “assignment”, I really hope that I’m in charge of rounding up the “Hollywood Right”. Ben Stein makes me want to puke blood. Easily one of the most intellectually dishonest people in American life. I say, based on his life’s work, he outpaces that fat fuck Jonah by a large margin.
Watch this video. Its actually really surprising. Youll like it. “McCain Voter Fraud” on youtube.com. Heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGF-HEd6XnA
Oh noes! Bassets is not winning! Go vote!
Give the Pantload time.
By the time it’s all said and done Jonah’s going to make Ben Stein look like Eugene Debs.
if you listen to these men and women, if you hear what they are saying, if you look at what kind of people they are, I don’t think you can come to any other conclusion than John McCain is far and away the best human being alive to be the next President of the United States
Funny. I got a different answer. Next time, please show your work, Mr. Shilling.
And exactly who did Curt campaign for before McCain.. HMMM and would that be Bush.. Thanks but not thanks Curt, to many folks took your advice last time.
Curt, you’re no Roger Clements.
Apparently we the people have been practicing what Curtsy has been preachin. After each of the three debates, Obama averaged 1-3% gain in the poll of polls, so yes, people are listening and making up their own minds.
Too bad Obama didn’t call McInsane’s bluff on the 10 debates nonsense. Obama would be up 20-30% by now.
Hey! check this out: McCain voter fraud!

He’s been an asswipe since he was with the Orioles.
Stein surely is astounding to watch. It does curdle the stomach to watch someone go point-by-point (without prodding) of all the valid reasons a candidate is a piece of junk and then announce that of course you’re going to vote for him.
If you get assigned to round up the Hollywood right, can I at least carry the handcuffs for you?
Sarah Moron Palin–no one campaigns for Obama more effectively. Keep the Moroncuda talkin’ goshdarnit for five more days.
Great touch in Erie Penn. down the road from Pitt. getting boos for the Phillies.
We’ve had to listen to his shit in Massachusetts for many years now. He rants against stem cells yet does fund raising in support of ALS research.
The ALS Association has a whole primer on stem cells on their web site.
Asswipe is too kind a word. Hypocritical asswipe might be a little more apt.
He’s not hypocritical, he’s just dead stupid. Always was, always will be.
Schilling couldn’t find his ass in the dark with both hands.
As Francona used to say when he and Curt were here with the Phillies,
“That’s just Schill being Schill.” I believe the sub context was he can pitch the hell out of the ball but he can’t think worth a damn. I could be wrong, though…
PS. Make that WORLD CHAMPION PHILLIES!!!
Yeah, baby, YEAH!!!
