So he runs Fox. Did you see the ads? We didn't watch the Super Bowl. We went to a film but the projector didn't work! (LOL)

Bush keeps the score on Al Qaida Oliver Burkeman in New York Monday February 4, 2002 The Guardian In a move that will not necessarily reassure critics of the US war on terrorism or its treatment of detained al-Qaida and Taliban fighters President George Bush has revealed the principle behind his offensive: baseball. He keeps track of the most wanted members of al-Qaida on a scorecard, so that he can cross off their faces as they are killed. "One time early on, I said, 'I'm a baseball fan, I want a scorecard'," Mr Bush told the Washington Post. "When you're fighting an enemy like al-Qaida, people - including me - don't have a sense of who we're fighting. And I actually have got a chart," Mr Bush said. His remarks came as officials at the US military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, denied that prisoners were mistreated, as new photographs showed an injured detainee being wheeled to an interrogation session. "There is no torture. We are a nation of laws," Brigadier General Michael Lehnert said. Mr Bush showed the Post's reporters three sheets of paper bearing small colour photographs of the terrorist leaders. "There's an X right there," he said, indicating the crossed-out face of Mohammed Atef, Osama bin Laden's chief military planner, killed by US bombing in Afghanistan. guardian.co.uk
