Why the hatred for Jose Canseco?

Their standards for HOF enshrinement have gotten ridiculously high, especially in the last several years. Craig Biggio is someone that comes to mind. If Biggio retired today and didn't get to 3000 hits, I have my doubts about whether he'd get in on the first ballot. It's a joke.

Why no HOF for Jose? I'm going to go with the fact that he's a narcissistic idiot who had a sub-hall career enhanced by steroids.
