  1. Maybe our Heroic Green Team can persuade Bush to slam dunk some more "green" back into the markets from which he and his demon collaborators ripped off the American people!!!

  1. I think that's the most articulate and engaged I've ever seen "W". Nice job! He should make sports broadcasting his next career.

  1. The Boston Celtics are one GREAT team.
    On "their" day in the spotlight, they choose to give to those in need.
    No wonder we are all fans!
    You guys ROCK!
    Of course you'll win next season!!!!!!!

  1. They are the pride of Boston

    (Someone please evaluate Paul Pierce's hoarse voice. .)

  1. Man, I've followed Boston sports for a long time and this Celtics championship was one of the best of 'em all. Gotta love the way the Celtics turned their game around 180 degrees by playing true team basketball and killer defense. They also were a blast to watch, especially after all those wretched years. One of the alltime great Celtics teams!

  1. This reminds me of why Bush 43 won two elections....the man is likeable when you actually see him. Great year for Boston, they acted like gentlemen all throughout the season. Doc Rivers, KG, Pierce have made it a class organization. As a Nets fan still rooted hard against them, but as basketabll fan they are a nice story.

  1. Like many of you, I have been a Celtics fan my entire life. For me, last season represented the greatest sports story ever told. Perhaps in the eyes of some I commit some moral error in claiming such, especially in light of the 2004 success of the Boston Red Sox.
    It pains me, though, to see these gentlemen with our charlatan of a president. While his speech on the Celtics' behalf shows some knowledge of recent events in the sports world, most of his speeches in recent years on topics of far greater consequence have shown an outright contempt for knowledge, human life, and the rule of law. He will be judged, sick comic mass murderer that he is. I hope the Celts wash their hands thoroughly after shaking his bloody paws.

  1. We have witnessed an historic moment.

    For the first time ever, we heard the Truth coming from the Bush White House.

    The 2007-2008 Celtics rank right up there with the BEST ever!

    And Bush is definitely the WORST ever (remember his "slam dunk" to describe the presence of WMD's in Iraq?)
    Won't it be great to have Barack receive them as next year's champions?
    Go Green!
