Joey Porter:  j/k!!!

 From msnbc.com

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Porter is backing off tongue-in-cheek comments that he plans to tell President Bush next month that he dislikes how the country is being run.

“I’m going to have a swagger when I walk in there, too,” Porter said. “I’m looking forward to it but, like I said, I have something to tell him, too. I don’t like the way things are running right now. I feel like he’s got to give me some of my money back, so I got something to tell to Bush.”

The Pro Bowl linebacker issued a statement Wednesday saying he regrets making comments that some apparently construed as serious.

“I regret that my quotes about our team’s upcoming visit to the White House were taken out of context,” Porter said in a statement issued by the team. “I am very excited to have an opportunity to visit the White House and meet the president of the United States.”

Porter also said his comments were not meant to suggest he disapproves of Bush or the job he is doing.

“We will be guests of the president and I would never do anything to disrespect him,” Porter said in the statement. “I consider our upcoming trip an honor and a dream come true. Our entire team is looking forward to visiting the White House and enjoying what promises to be the opportunity of a lifetime.”

Um, what? When has he ever taken anything back? Oh, Joey, frankly I'm a little disappointed. I was looking forward to drama in the White Hizzouse. I mean, if anybody was going to talk smack to the leader of the Free World, it should be you.

Did he get in trouble or something? Or was the entire story just blown out of proportion? I mean, he basically called the NFL liars and cheaters and nobody did anything about that, and everyone thought he was going to get fined for those words.

 Joey, I say go for it. Get all Michael Moore on his azz!

WOW lame. Need I recite the purpose behind the First Amendment? I was all excited to see footage of Joey in Bush's face and Bush crapping his pants (Bitch betta have my money!!!). He should feel ashamed that Stephen Colbert has more balls than he does. Fucking Joey.

And anyone who hasn't seen Stephen Colbert's roast of the President at the White House Correspondent's Dinner should go directly to youtube.com
