A little while ago I posted a clip of an autisitc kid draining three-pointers at a high school basketball game like he was Larry fucking Bird playing against drunk, decapitated midgets. I didn't think it was amazing because he's autistic, I thought it was amazing because the kid spent his whole year riding the pine and sopping up sweat and when he finally got a chance to play he made everyone crap their pants with what is likely to be the most intense athletic display that anyone will ever see.

So, George W. Bush showed up in the town this kid lives in and saw the video and then said the following with the kid next to him: "Saw it on TV and I wept, just like a lot of other people. It's just one of those stories that touched a lot of people's hearts."

Okay, first of all, George Jr., Teddy Roosevelt called and he said that you're a pussy. Because you are. Weeping? For real? If you cry because some kid, who you obviously deem to be functionally retarded, sinks baskets then I can't imagine how little work you get done when you hear that some American soldier who's last memory probably involved an explosion or the taste of sand is coming home wrapped in plastic. That shit happens like 8 TIMES A DAY!!!!!

Secondly, the kid is autistic, he's not Hellen Keller. Don't parade him around like he's King of the Special Olympics. Autism comes in many forms. His manifests itself in an ability to drain the long shot, which I think we can all agree is 'good autism.'

And finally, when you have a 36% Gallup approval rating (which is close to post-impeachment Nixon territory - except he actually admitted to committing a crime), you need to start bombing another country, not hanging out with a kid who's ability to shoot baskets is eclipsed only by your ability to be president, manage an oil company, manage the Texas Rangers, warn your girls about the dangers of underage drinking, win the popular vote, not be an alcoholic, eat pretzels, not look like a monkey, care about black people, cut short a vacation during the biggest hurricane in American history, destroy American civil liberties.
