Hey, HEY, HEY!!
I'll have you know the New York Yankees are a national metaphor for the United States of America!
If you weren't a lady (and YOU, unlike Sen. Pardek, ARE a lady I presume?), I'd slap you with my glove and challenge you to a duel! ;-)
Well, I am a lady, but I'll duel with anyone when it comes to the Yankees. I hate them, and they suck, and I love watching them being ground into the dirt! So there. :-)
