CAMP KERRY CRAVES RED SOX STARDUST!
In a story which was written by David Kibbe for the Boston (RED SOX NATION) Globe today:
'Could the bat of David Ortiz or the pitching arm of (bloddy) Curt Shilling decide who will be the leader of the frere world? Senatorr John F. Kerry thinks so. The Massachusetts Democrat has linked himself to the fortunes of the formerly woebegone Boston Red Sox, a scrappy bunch (some looking like some of his old VVAW members) Johnnie Damon, etc , who last night WON thier first World Series championship since 1918 in a four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Kerry took time out from the campaign trail to watch the Red Sox from his hotel room.
Kerry even received a ceremonial blessing from an 83- year-old Navajo Indian, Chester Nez in New Mexico- the same blessing he gave at Fenway Park in april in an attempt to reverse the 86 year old Curse of the Bambino.
"We all want the same things,' Kerry said earlier during a campaign stop in Ohio. 'We want our country to be respected in the world, we want good jobs, and we want to beat the New York Yankees!'
Historically, there is some precedent linking hardball sports to hardball politics.
FDR of New York won the White House in 1932 and 1936 when-who else-the Yankess won the Wortld Series. The last presidential candidate to lose the election when his home team played in the World Series as another New Yorker, Al Smith, who was beaten by Herbert Hoover in 1928. The year the Yankees swept the same St. Louis Cardinals, four games to none.
Massachusetts Democrats are dreaming of a double play this year. We believe too.'
We shall all know on Nov 3rd or Nov 4th or Nov 5th.
President Bush is the one with the most credibility when it comes to baseball. I just know he's gonna LOVE having the Red Sox to the White House to congratulate them on their stupendous victory, just after he's celebrated HIS!! ;o)
