Czeching Out

Martina's Strung Out

I love this story. Nothing illustrates how loathed George W. Bush is and how much he's damaged both the American psyche and America's standing in the world than stories like this. Oh, I know, people will just say, "Who cares what that dyke thinks?" Well, all I can say is, she's a winner and a role model and embodies all the true grit qualities supposedly All-American patriots like John Wayne (a draft-dodger whose real testosterone-challenged name was Marion) are supposed to symbolize - and she was ours! As a tennis fan, I say "Thanks Dubya!"

NAVRATILOVA SEEKS CZECH CITIZENSHIP
(contactmusic.com, May 29, 2007)

Tennis legend MARTINA NAVRATILOVA is seeking Czech citizenship because she is "ashamed" of the U.S. The former world number one admits she used to be ashamed of the former communist state, quitting her native country for the U.S in 1975. But the Prague-born star says she is now seeking a Czech citizenship because she is angry with President George W "Bush('s) regime". She says, "Now, I can be ashamed of what is happening in America. The thing is that we elected Bush. That is worse! Against that, nobody chose a communist government in Czechoslovakia." Navratilova was given U.S citizenship in 1981.
