in the interests of proving I can still talk about something besides my wedding

So this morning I had SportsCenter going in the background while I was getting ready for work and I heard that W. called the coach of the U.S. World Cup team before their first game.

I swear my first thought was "I hope for the coach's sake he didn't tell him 'you're doing a heckuva job.'"

But no, apparently he told Mr. Coach to "give 'em hell," which got me wondering if Laura's made him a little card to carry around with him:

"Give 'em hell" in friendly international sports competition = GOOD
"Give 'em hell" to pissed-off insurgents with bombs = BAD

I'm thinking the "Give 'em hell" phrase was bad juju. They lost to the Czhechs.
