Yes, I’m listening to the Newsboys today …
Still, it seemed like a reasonable way to title two phenomena within the Republican Party
(1) Rudy Giuliani - he has come out and said that he’s pulling for the Red Sox in the World Series.
Please … a Yankees fan pulling for the Red Sox? I don’t know or care more than a basic amount about professional baseball, but I get that Red Sox fans and Yankees fans DON’T pull for the other team. This is pathetic political pandering … about as bad as Hillary Clinton declaring that she’s always been a Yankees fan.
Are baseball fans really this gullible, that politicians just have to voice support for teams to grab a couple more votes?
That’s sad.
(2) It seems to sum up the whole Fred Thompson campaign pretty nicely, too. Devoid of substance, energy, and effort, it’s pretty much run on name-recognition and the fact that he’s famous, so you might as well elect him.
Fred Thompson has apparently decided to mail his registration for the NH primary, rather than showing up for the traditional photo-op. One might view that as pioneering iconoclasm, if he was doing something else. But, you know, there are all those new shows in the fall TV line-up …
