The 42nd President is hosting viewing of the new Disney movie, The Rookie for "movie night" at the White House this evening. President George W. Bush has invited Disney CEO Michael Eisner as well as Dennis Quaid, the star of the film, to the event.
QuikQuote: "The G-rated Disney film is based on the true story of Jim Morris, a 35-year-old high school science teacher who made a deal with his school team that if they made the playoffs he would try out for a pitching spot in the Major Leagues. When his team made the play-offs, Morris tried out for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, making the team and becoming the oldest rookie in the Major Leagues in over 30 years, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters."
