Maybe free-agent wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth was just trying to get his name out there.
After all, he hasn’t played a single down this season after being cut by the Washington Redskins back in August.
And what better way for a pro athlete to garner some attention than to embark on a political Twitter tirade concerning past U.S. presidents?
The 31-year-old Stallworth, who’s best known for pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter after killing a pedestrian in 2009, took aim at George W. Bush and former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney for their handling of recent world events.
We’ll let him explain the rest …

However, 9/11 happened early in his presidency. In over his head, GW had to lean heavily on his national security & foreign policy advisers.

Cheney and Rumsfeld were in business. They had the “new Pearl Harbor” event that would once again show America’s military might to the world — Donte’ Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) October 21, 2013
Thrusting us into multiple wars, further drowning the country in debt, the PATRIOT ACT, spy program, Gitmo, extrajudicial/targeted killings, — Donte’ Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) October 21, 2013
I think GW Bush realized that Rumsfeld and especially Cheney were manipulating him for their agendas… but it was too little, too late.

There’s more over at his official Twitter account, where he mentions he’s “off the grid” in his bio.
After his latest Twitter rant, most onlookers probably think he’s off something else.
