Reader comment on item: Muhammad Ali v. George W. Bush

Submitted by Jane (United States), Nov 29, 2005 at 21:43

Thank you! I wondered if I was the only one who about choked over the choice of Ali for ANY award by President Bush. I'm delighted that your article refreshed the true memory of that egotistical anti-American. I missed his twirling finger but noticed his unpleasant - hateful really - facial expression. The whole affair was an embarrassment.
