He ducks a question about whether he'd invite Barry Bonds to the White House when he breaks the home run record.

    Presumption of innocence

    Can we please stop with this nonsense? Aside from the reality that the combination of a strict weight training regimen and increased whey protein ingestion will not grow one's head 4 sizes, we have the fact that Barry Bonds ADMITTED TO USING HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE in front of a grand jury(!) This happened.

    I agree that the "enmity [towards Bonds] predates Bonds chasing Aaron." And this is clearly due to racism. Why would anyone wish failure upon a man who once told autograph-seeking children to fuck off? Because's he's black. How about when Bonds was at Arizona State and his teammates voted him off the team by a margin of 22-2? Sun Devils? More like Sun Klansmen!
