I know that she speaks for millions of Yankee fans everywhere.<br /> </p><blockquote> <p><em>I understand the true volume levels didn&rsquo;t make it on TV, but during the Yankee game on Monday night Rudy Giuliani was <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/10/10/105530/63">resoundingly booed by New Yorkers</a>: </em></p> <blockquote> </blockquote> <p><em>For years, George Steinbrenner and right wing nutcases running the New York Yankees have subtly and overtly attempted to turn a nonpolitical sporting event such as watching a baseball game at Yankees stadium into a 1930s style German propaganda event to promote right wing politicians, right wing views on religion, and right wing views on Iraq. It&rsquo;s no longer take me out to the ballgame and as a Yankee fan, I find it disgusting.</em></p> <p><em>The most frequent use of mixing politics and baseball at Yankee stadium is Steinbrenner&rsquo;s promotion of right wing extremist Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani gets a front row, unimpeded view of Yankee games because these seats are given to him by Steinbrenner. Then Yankee stadium officials and the networks try to plaster Rudy Giuliani&rsquo;s face all over the big screen and the television. This amounts to millions of dollars of free advertising, something quite beneficial when you are running for President.</em></p> <p><em>But Steinbrenner overplayed his hand. Giuliani got roundly booed at Yankee Stadium and this will play out on the campaign trail.</em></p> </blockquote></p> </div> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/15275-bush-and-the-mlb-playoffs 2008-06-16T03:30:42Z youngturks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BNYD7xUGB-I&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BNYD7xUGB-I&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/15275-bush-and-the-mlb-playoffs"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/15143" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Click here to find out what George Bush thought about the MLB playoff system.
