Bradley follows bouncing ball, takes event
Second place finisher Vice President Al Gore, upon seeing Bradley's display, said, "Yeah, 'king of the world,' right. Titanic-boy is going down at the end of this movie, too!" Gore's runner-up finish put him in a 3-way tie for second place overall in the Pentathlon with Republicans George W. Bush and John McCain. Republican Alan Keyes, whose showing in recent primaries has been in the single-digit percent range, salvaged some honor by taking third place. "Some may characterize my showing today as a Pyrrhic victory at best. Allow me to remind you all that, should my campaign fail, I am the only candidate who has a radio career to fall back on."
Republican primary frontrunners Bush and McCain didn't perform well,
coming in a distant fourth and fifth. While Bush cited exhaustion from the
recent campaign's struggles, McCain offered another explanation. "I was
training for Chinese handball, not this."
McCain's staff later issued a clarification of this statement, saying that
Chinese handball is "what McCain calls the game 'Ace-King-Queen,' as do many
others, and was not meant as an ethnic slur." An aide who asked to remain
nameless added, "please don't open up this thing again," referring
to recent remarks McCain has made about his captors in his Vietnam POW
days (read more coverage on
Salon.com).
Another celebrity appearance at the handball tournament was singer/actress Jennifer Lopez. Arriving in a stretch Hummer with Streetplay.com mouthpiece and fellow Bronx native Hugh McNally, she explained her reason for coming: "I met the Streetplay guys at a party at Steve Forbes' house. They asked me to come, so I figured, 'why not... beats the heck out of getting shot at in nightclubs.'"
