President Bush had some strong words to Syria to get out of Lebanon, noted here.

He and Vice President Cheney welcomed and congratulated the World Series Cham-peens, the Boston Red Sox, who ended a drought of Biblical proportions with their first World Series win in 86 years. With Speaker Hastert and Senator Stevens, he presented the Congressional Gold Medal to Jackie Robinson's widow, Rachel Robinson, in the name of her husband.

In Arnold, Maryland, the president participated in a job training and education dialogue, linked here.

Secretary of State Condi Rice attended a one-day London meeting, info here, to discuss Iran's nuclear life, the Palestinians, etc. She put off a planned trip to Canada next month, a move seen as a rebuff over Canada's rebuff of the North American missile shield.

Senator Kerry positioned himself obscenely close to the president at Bush's remarks honoring Jackie Robinson.

Other than that crude interruption, enjoy today's visit to Sanity Island.

QUOTE: (with the Boston Red Sox, the 2004 World Series champions, during a South Lawn ceremony celebrating the team’s historic achievement) “You answered 86 years of prayer,” said the President. “That's an amazing feat, isn't it? I mean, when the Red Sox won, people all over the world cheered.”

"“That's an amazing feat, isn't it? I mean, when the Red Sox won, people all over the world cheered.”

I loved what he said next ... "even some people in Baghdad, Iraq!" .. remembering the fabulous troops cheering them on, too.
