Owner suite being named for Bush

The owners suite at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington is going to be named after George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States and former managing general partner of the Rangers. A private ceremony that will include Bush and Rangers owner Tom Hicks will take place before Thursday's game with the Astros.

Bush was one of the heads of an ownership group that bought the team in 1989 from Eddie Chiles. Bush was one of the managing partners until he ran for Governor in 1994.

There is a precedent for such an honor at The Ballpark. The home manager's office is named after Johnny Oates, who led the team to division titles in 1996 and 1998-99.

Are you freaking kidding me? Just another reason not to support the Rangers. George W. Bush and the moron Hicks are peas in a pod, or should I say neocons?

Since it sounds as though you have many reasons not to support the Rangers, why don't you just stop posting here and move on! Your sarcasm will not be missed.

Should call the suite "the opium den" commenorating w's known cocaine use while in the texas air guard.......a couple of party pictures on the wall from those days and then a pic of each of the rangers implicated in steroid use.........raffy, pudge, i-rod, a-rod, sosa, cammy.........maybe even have a timeline depicting mlb's policy/lack thereof on drugs thru the years........then the suite must have a long table that won't be damaged by razor blades so guests can toast the prez......

Two of the above obviously woke up on the wrong side of the bed...great rangers fans! Maybe you intended to post on Newyorkyankees.com?

on the contrary....we just want to insure our team isn't overrun with druggies.......

I wonder how much pot the above smoked as he seems to know so much. I just wonder how someone like them would do running a team. Have we not made the number one farm system? I bet he is as Democrate

jolly, are you related to d'god? This isn't a political site, but I have to ask. Is that the absolute best material you have? Cocaine and razor blades from the 60's? Please don't tell me that is all you've got. Anyway, Bush and Hicks (despite my dislike for Hicks' style of owning the Rangers) are both very intelligent men who didn't get to where they are by being morons. All of us have acted like morons a time or two in our lives. (see above for one of jolly's times) Get over it. Bush is no longer the president. He hasn't been for 6 months now and he won't be running for any other elections. I wonder how you'd feel if some of your skeletons fell out of your closet. By the way, the Rangers are in 1st place, it's June 19th and the team has not put it all together yet. The best is yet to come so don't be distracted by your obvious disdain for George W. Bush. A man whom you've never met and unless you are on the inside and you know all truth, you are really not qualified to judge him or his presidency. Finally, a last word to the Bush haters. One man does NOT control our government. It is one man, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. And, for the past 2 1/2 years now, the Congress has been majority Democrat. Be sure to spread the blame to ALL who are responsible. It is better to be a Patriot than a hater who doesn't understand what or why they hate.

Ooooohhhhh, take that. Stinkin' Democrate!

It may seem lame now, but give it 100 years or so and nobody will remember his presidency. I mean when's the last time you heard anybody run any smack on Andrew Johnson? Never, right? And that guy was awful. Oooohhhhh! DO NOT get me started on Andrew ******* Johnson!

ok....I apologize to all......a more dignified suite name could be "President 43 George W Bush Party Animal Suite" and leave the rest to everyone's imagination.........Zroom zroom party starters..........

yes sully i am related to d'god..............

it's not a dem/rep thang.........i'm perfectly willing to have a Bill Clinton Suite and have it memorialize Monica, sally perdue, jennifer flowers and Highway Patrol girl, etc etc....it could be called "my soiled dress" or the "I never had sex with that girl" suite maybe......that would be a much more fun suite i think than the "w party animal suite"
