When it comes to political candidates it usually takes a dead girl or an alive boy to sink a career. Earlier in the week, Uber Yankee Fan Rudy endorsed the Boston Red Sox for the World Series Crown. He announced this while pandering in New Hampshire for the primaries. I think this could be this final straw on Giuliani’s political campaign. You know he’s lying.
I’m sure many New Yorkers watched Game 1 last night hoping for the Red Sox to get a thumpion’. When Boston took control, I would have paid $20 USD to be in any barroom in New York to watch this happen. If indeed Giuliani is a true New Yorker, he felt pain.
Rudy, a political campaign is a marathon not a sprint. If Rudy had wanted to do some SMART boot licking with the base, he should have endorsed the Rockies. It’s time you listened to the CPP Spin Zone. It’s a 101 course.
When the Metrosexuals are eliminated, a real New Yorker’s response would have been “Baseball Season is Over.”. Are Jeter, Torre or Damon rooting for the Red Sox? Like most real New Yorkers, this egregious comment is like rooting for your step mother, In fact it is treasonous. For the Right Wing definition of Treason, please see the You Tube “Ask the Candidates” Clip # 1693. Perhaps he can’t win in New York, but this ”Flavor of the Month” Steinbrenner-esque type thinking cannot win a national campaign.
Can you imagine John Kerry EVER sporting a Yankee cap?
For beginners, an endorsement for the Rockies would have shown loyalty. You simply do not root for the enemy. As you get older, this can bring make your life complex. The A’s beat the Giants in the 1989 World Series. Can I root for them in World Series? The Answer is “No” unless, of course, they are playing the Dodgers.
More importantly, cheering on the Rockies would have scored Rudy a few runs with the vast Evangelical base. In this recent Beliefnet.com article, the author proclaims “Sorry Sox, God Like the Rockies.” Also the Rockies have openly announced that their hiring practices revolve religious background. Here’s another from Christianity Today.
The blogosphere is filled with clutter on the Rockies preference of hiring based on religious profiling.
And favorite bit from Yesterday’s Salad
And that’s not to say the BoSox don’t have evangelicals. Remember Curt Schillling’s 2004 “Vote Bush” rant. Just because you wear a bloody sock, it doesn’t mean you have stigmata. Because of Schilling’s ill-informed rant ,which has contributed too four more years of clusterfuckery, God smote him in the ninth inning of a "could have been" perfect game.
Yes, he deserved this.
However, so the Rockies are Jesus’ best pal and all Giuliani BLEW IT! This was a chance to reach out to this base that is so infuriated with him.They love his mock heroism but hate him for divorcing so much and shackin’ with some nellies.
JESUS CHRIST! WHAT WAS HE THINKING?Rudy got a soft grounder to first and he got all Buckner on it. You aren’t looking for a “V” in New Hampshire, you want to lay the groundwork for the whole year.
Let Crackpot Press spin for you.
Q: Who are you rooting for in the World Series?
CPP Answer: Rockies.
Q: Why?
CPP Answer: (Pause) Just my own personal convictions.
Or if you want to beat someone over the head like warm fall night in Boston:
“We share core values”
People would at least try and believe that.
