Matt Hasselbeck and Mack Strong attended a recent Republican fundraiser where they presented President Bush with a Seahawks jersey. Naturally, people were self-righteous dipshits about it:
"How dare Hasselbeck declare Bush an honorary Seahawk," wrote one. "Who is Matt speaking for? Bush is no Seahawk. He is the worst president of my lifetime, and I'm almost 60. Shame on you, Matt."
"To learn that two of the most popular Seahawks are strong (Bush) supporters ruins the season for me and my family," wrote another…
Added Hasselbeck: "I don't understand. This is America. We're not going to agree on everything."
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did he not get the memo? Athletes aren't allowed to have opinions on politics. He should have done something less damaging to his reputation, like cheating on his wife or getting a DUI. At least that wouldn't have ruined the season for fans.

I can't support the Bears anymore; not all of them have illegitimate children.
It does say something about integrity.
AND general intelligence.
what a bunch of whiny pussies. So your favorite football player didn't vote for your guy. Who cares as long as they are winning football games.
@raskolnikov: I guess that leaves Travis Henry and the Broncos off your Christmas list too.
The weird thing is, you probably can't get that personalized jersey through the NFL.com shop.
"I hate you, I'll never wear your jersey, I'll never like the Seahawks again." this guy also said the same thing after Brian Bosworth was signed by the Seahawks.
The weird thing is, you probably can't get that personalized jersey through the NFL.com shop. Yoou can if you're a Saints fan… still.
Matt looks like he is thinking about the Ribwich in that picture.
Hippies
Nice job by 289 for coming up with those goofy expressions on both of them.
Oh, what?
On one hand, many of Bush's policies either defy the constitution entirely, or at the very least favor the wealthiest percentile of the country while leaving joe-six pack and his family out in the cold. So supporting him is sort of like endorsing a person who makes the average fan's life more difficult.
On the other hand, have you seen how fucking hot Jessica Alba looks in her new movie? God damn, girl, I wish you was gravy so I could sop you up with a biscuit.
"Bush is no Seahawk"
When did the Democrats abandon the whole donkey thing? Why wasn't I told?
Thats an authentic jersey, looks like. Pretty sweet. Those are expensive.
@UU
Please leave "The Boz" out of this.
sorry Pauly.
Dave Krieg was going to do this once, but he kept fumbling the jersey.
Its ok. I just have a soft spot in my heart for the spiked mullet and lines shaved into the side of the head.
W is a perfect addition to the NFL. He's a coke-head alcoholic with a DUI who 'found Jesus.' Plus, he possesses the elocution and diction of late-Parkinson's Ali.
He's basically Michael Irvin in a Macy's suit.
What is going to happen when everyone fines out Brady Quinn voted for Sen. Craig?
He's basically Michael Irvin in a Macy's suit.
I think Irvin actually has a much better handle on international politics. And there's no question that "jacked up" would be a huge moral booster for the west wing press core.
In his first act as an official Sehawk, Bush traded Shaun Alexander to the Chicago White Sox for Harold Baines.
I cannot believe the President is accepting a jersey from Hasselbeck. I thought Bush & Co. didn't like the gays.
Also, I wish my name was Mack Strong.
Who the fuck let the Republicans into Seattle? Next thing you know, straight people will find their way into San Francisco.
He's basically Michael Irvin in a Macy's suit.
Close, but not exactly. Irvin never did a Mission Accomplished end zone dance on his own 30 yd. line.
WWSM, I am intrigued by your positions and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
OTTO MAN +1. well said. (the 30yd line one, obviously)
"To learn that two of the most popular Seahawks are strong (Bush) supporters ruins the season for me and my family,"
Are you sure it's not because a guy named D.J. is your #2 reciever? Cause that would end it for me.

Didn't anyone in Seattle notice that his sister-in-law is the right wing bitch on the view?
Tim Hasselbeck was cut from the giants because his wife is an awful bitch.
@Phony Gwynn:
"Dave Krieg was going to do this once, but he kept fumbling the jersey."
"
Dave KriegTony Romo was going to do this once, but he kept fumbling the jersey."@WWSM for your first post:
Patton Oswalt has a hilarious bit on that, "wait, so, you voted for George Bush?" So, you're like worth millions upon millions of dollars, right? No? Wow, you know that he absolutely HATES you, right? Okay, just making sure."
Stupid me not finishing editing my comments. -1 for me.
That Patton Oswalt routine is terrific. Anything that likens those Bush voters to a trailer park girl who gives Michael Damian a blow job behind the Tilt-a-Whirl is alright by me.
Yeah , Patton Oswalt is real intelligent. Because only liberals and democrats worth millions of dollars can care about poor people. They are just as bad if not worse than Republican millionaires that don't care about anyone.
Maybe he should just sue Hasselback under the hate crime statute; or is that for Yankee fans only?
No, no, Co60. Republicans are allowed to care about poor people too.
It just doesn't seem to jibe with their basic "I got mine, so fuck you" philosophy.
"Shame on you, Matt."
Yes, shame on you for not having the same political views as your fans.
As a Seahawks fan, I am not mad that Hasselbeck supports President Bush. However, since he plays Quarterback, I'm now VERY worried about his decision-making skills.
Also, since Bush is now an honorary SEATTLE Seahawks fan, I suggest he watch one of our games at a bar over on Capitol Hill. There is where the most….passionate fans are at.
(By the way, Matt, I'll totally be okay with your public political leanings if you win the Super Bowl with the Seahawks. After that, you can join the Nazi Party for all I care.)
looks like Hasselbeck found a way to keep his ass out of Gitmo
Meanwhile elsewhere, Deion Branch enjoys a ham and cheese hot pocket while wondering who the FUCK George W. is.
"To learn that two of the most popular Seahawks are strong (Bush) supporters ruins the season for me and my family," wrote another…
Really? Boo fucking hoo. Keep saying that you should have won the Super Bowl, ya whiny pricks.
What did Seahawk fans think of Steve Largent? He was GOP Gov.
Right after Hasselbeck gave him the jersey, Bush said, "Wait a minute…you mean I'm not actually on the team now? Well, fool me once…shame on…you. Fool me tw–can't git fooled again!"
And Max Power thinks Mack Strong's a wimp.
@bonertron: Can't tell if you are being sarcastic, so while I wish I could agree with you, Tim Hasselback was cut by the Giants becaused he sucks monkey balls.
I always thought that my game was baseball. Heck, remember how well the Rangers did when I was ownifying them. Jesus wants me to be a quarterback now. When I take the field, we Seahawks will be greeted like liberationifyers, and will back for out team with the other teams sod and concessions.
Gos bless Amerika!
@Otto Man: We're in love! He's going to marry me and take me on tour with him!
