“Oh, the good life, full of fun seems to be the ide…oh, shoot…even Tony Bennett threw up.
Jeffrey Rosenthal 49, CEO of Rose Advertising who originated the idea of placing ads on grocery carts in 1984, has photos of Bonds at his house with former California governor Pete Wilson at a fundraising dinner; he won’t permit them to be published. Bonds appears to be much lighter in build in the photos.
“I’d rather keep those pictures to myself. That was a long time ago. It might be misunderstood,” Rosenthal says. “I just don’t understand all of this media scrutiny. Who could live up to the scrutiny?
“It’s all about trying to find out whether Barry Bonds did anything. But Barry has never been convicted of anything or ever been arrested. … Wilt Chamberlain bragged about sleeping with 20,000 women. Mickey Mantle was an alcoholic. But with Barry, it’s not a level playing field. I’m embarrassed with the way he’s treated. We should be celebrating, not condemning, this unbelievable accomplishment.”

1. Gambling Rent Czar Posted: June 01, 2007 at 04:53 AM (#2387052)Rosenthal has photos of Bonds at his house with former California governor Pete Wilson, "I'd rather keep those pictures to myself. That was a long time ago. It might be misunderstood," Rosenthal says. "I just don't understand all of this media scrutiny. Who could live up to the scrutiny?
Hmmm. . . now what could an evil mind do with those statements?
Jerry Browne was the Democratic governor from '75 to '83 who ran for President in '76, '80 and I think even '92. He later became Mayor of Oakland.
Pete Wilson was governor after Browne from '91 to '99 and is a Republican. Before being governor Wilson was SD's mayor and a US Senator. He also ran for President once ('96 maybe) and nobody paid attention.
Both guess were mentioned in different California Uber Alles versions.
He had another job in between, too.
Nowadays he's California Attorney General.
Does Barry live on Neverland Ranch?
"I am a wizard. I have a beard. Behold."
I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, though.
