Politics / Sports Re: Jay Inslee vs. Barack Obama

The early word on Washington Congressman Jay Inslee's turn today on the White House basketball court?
Speaking by cell phone after playing several games—both with and against the president—Inslee said:
It was a titanic struggle. Just like everything in the nation’s capital. It was a great game. The president played an hour and 15 minutes with us...The House members beat the administration the first game, and I think they beat us the second. But I’ll tell you, President Barack Obama has a serious game. I was blown away by his quickness and his moves to the hoop. He has some serious moves.After going House vs. administration for a while, they mixed up the teams. Find out how many points Inslee scored over all, which cabinet secretary he "had a nice J over," which other cabinet secretary he blocked, and who in the Washington delegation "took an elbow to the chin or nose," tomorrow here on Slog. (When we'll also have pictures of today's match-up, which Inslee called "gym rat ball at its finest.")

been done before, jeez:
"THE BUDDY SYSTEM
Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes branch out in their new movie -- The stars of ''White Men Can't Jump'' talk about their friendship and their new comedy"...
..."The two actors also couldn't resist betting against each other in the basketball sequences. While shooting the scene in which Hoyle makes a wager with Deane about his slam-dunking ability, Snipes bet Harrelson $100 he wouldn't make it in three tries. To the amazement of both, he needed only one. ''One of the happiest points of my life was when I slammed that basketball,'' Harrelson says. ''To jack that bet up and just slam it home was truly sweet!''
''Yeah, but you put enough stickum [gluey stuff that helps players grip the ball] on your palm that you could walk up the Empire State building like Spiderman,'' protests Snipes.
''I slammed it in your face!'' says Harrelson.
''You Krazy Glued it — '' starts Snipes. ''You should have seen your face. You looked like someone had just macheteed your children. You were mortified!''
all you needed was the, "ohhh snap!", that someone reportedly said.

WOW! I can't think of anything more mundane, non-newsworthy and irrelevant. Thanks for playing basketball when you could have been busy suspending DOMA!

This is part of Barry Soetoro's scheme to make ordinary hard working Americans think he is a regular guy. But he's far from that.
Remember: Hitler loved dogs.
