The following is a video of MLB Superstar Albert Pujols and his manager, Tony La Russa speaking at Glenn Beck’s Tea Party rally in DC today.

While I realize that they got Pujols under the auspices of handing him some fakey award, I still feel like accepting it and preaching the gospel to the Tea Party could very well be worse than taking steroids.

I realize that professional athletes aren’t usually known for their political savvy, but I also have every reason to believe that Pujols and La Russa think Glenn Beck is a swell guy and a heck of a future political player for the Corporatist Party. It’s really sickening. I don’t know whether to blame the city of St. Louis, the entity of Major League Baseball, or Fox News for reaching its heinous tentacles towards my beloved baseball.

Either way, this event is an object lesson on being a well-rounded person. When you spend 23 and a half hours a day thinking about how to hit a curveball, you don’t have time to assess the epic buffonery and fakiness that comprise Fox New’s Corporate Spokesperson of the Year.
