WHOA WHOA WHOA

Ok, now normally I write meaningful entries about important political issues that can influence the nation or the world, and that deserve to be discussed and even debated. Today, however, is not one of those days.

Read this New York Times political commentary page.

Yes, that's Rudy Giuliani.

Yes, he's rooting for the Red Sox.

W-H-A-T-?????????????
(I can't make the font any bigger, but trust me i pushed the keys down REALLY hard when i typed.)


Now for a guy who's trying to establish himself in the American public eye, this is legally insane. We care about out sports and celebrities more than our economy and government, and if you DARE cross the border, you better be well prepared. Here's Rudy's response to those who think he's out of his mind: “I’m an American League fan and I go with the American League team.” Let's check the stats real quick.

Giuliani is from New York. As in...the New York Yankees. (or Mets...but c'mon).
Giuliani is a Republican.
The Boston Red Sox, although they have the word "Red" in their name, are actually from Boston, Massachussetts, which is arguably the most Democratic state in the country.


You wanna call John Kerry a flip-flopper? Go right ahead, but you better think up a word that has even more meaning, because whatever that word it, Giuliani fits the description. He had the opportunity to root for the underdog, get the "rebuilding" mentality that he's been pushing for all this time, and still keep those Yankees fans (there's a lot of them) on his side while still being a semi-classy politician. Instead, he looks like a first-class idiot by becomming a turncoat to his hometown, and hurting his presidential bid for sports fans and party members alike.


I know this isn't a HUGE deal when you think about everything else that could be discussed, but you gotta admit it's something.
