How to Lose the Yankee Vote Or my note to Giuliani


So, you're a mayor of one of the biggest baseball cities in the world. You are from that city, you claim to be a life-long fan of the baseball team, you wear their gear and love to tell the story that you got beat up for wearing a Yankees cap in Brooklyn, you go to their games even after you're out of office, and you claim you're rooting for their biggest rival in the World Series because you're an AL fan? That's the lamest excuse since Sen. Craig went prowling at the Minnesota Airport.
Even if you narrowly escaped the big sleep by a 3-2 vote(which somehow ups your cool factor), you're dead to me, and many, many other Yankee fans. I cut Mitt some slack for changing his views on certain issues, but this? Even if New Hampshire primaries are coming up, this is unforgiveable flip-flopping!!! Oh why do I care? I'm more or less a Democrat.

Yeah. Hillary's similarly weak. Nobody's a fan of the 'league.' Props to Biden, who was willing to espouse Yankee fandom in New Hampshire.

Hillary's Yankee love has always been suspect. Giuliani is worse than Benedict Arnold, he's a regular Tokyo Rose.
