Letting the air out

(Fox News) - Shaquille O'Neal is admitting that he was the one who let the air out of the basketball last week when President Bush hosted the NBA champion Miami Heat at the White House. O'Neal tells USA Today that he did it so the ball wouldn't bounce up and hit the president in the face. And he adds that you won't hear him doing any Bush Bashing. "When it comes to ridiculization, if you can't walk in a man's shoes, you shouldn't ridicule him," and adds, "I couldn't do that job."
