Of Bush* and Bonds*

Baseball's newly crowned all time home run leader Barry Bonds* seems destined to go down in history with an asterisk next to his name in the record books because of accusations that he used performance enhancing drugs. Even if it is proved that he used steroids there was nothing illegal in the use of these drugs in the rules of baseball at the time or the laws of the country (assuming that they were properly prescribed). Babe Ruth never got an asterisk for drinking during Prohibition did he?

If Bonds* is treated this way why shouldn't Captain Codpiece* have a similar mark after his name in all of the history books to list him as the 43rd* president? After all he was not legitimately elected in either 2000 or 2004.
