Curt Schilling to Campaign with President Bush


After endorsing President Bush on Good Morning America Red Sox pitching ace Curt Schilling will accompany President George W. Bush to his campaign stops in Manchester and Portsmouth on Friday.

It is unclear if Schilling will be wearing his now-legendary bloody sock, which came to symbolize the Red Sox’ dramatic run to their first World Series title in 86 years. But don’t be surprised if he waves it to the crowd, or if the crowd waves mock bloody socks at him in appreciation of his courageous pitching performances during the playoffs and World Series.

Schilling made the unexpected endorsement of the President on the ABC program just as he and his wife, Shonda, wrapped up an interview with host Charles Gibson.

“And make sure you tell everybody to vote,” Schilling said Gibson, “and vote Bush next week.”

Anybody that gives Diane Sawyer heartburn is okay in my book.

You gotta love that guy!
