Rudy Giuliani And John McCain Go To Yankees Game

Sen. John McCain took in a New York Yankees game today with his friend and onetime primary rival, Rudolph Giuliani, and it turned out that Hizzoner, and not the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, drew the bulk of the crowd's attention.

McCain and the former New York mayor posed with the managers of the Oakland A's and the Yankees about an hour before game time, then signed some baseballs. Initially those in field-level seats yelled "Rudy!", and seemed not to notice McCain, but eventually they started calling out to the senator and asked him to sign baseballs. One young fan in pinstripes and a Yankees cap kept shouting "McCain!" in an effort to win over his attention.

A's manager Bob Geren and Yankees manager Joe Girardi huddled around home plate with McCain, Giuliani and his wife, Judith, for a few minutes. At one point Geren asked McCain about what it's like to run for president, to which he replied: "It's like being in AA [baseball] and all of a sudden you're playing in Yankee Stadium."

I wonder if the old man talked about the 2001 world series.

I hope they hosed down the seats and scrubbed them with bleach afterwards.

You know Rudy was wishing the score was 9-11.

Its good to have the weekends off to go to a ballgame. Wouldn't want to spend it with the family.

THINGS OVERHEARD IN THE MCSTAIN/ROOTY BOX

"Hope Dimaggio gets a hit today."

"Did you just cut one?

"What a gorgeous day. Reminds me of 9/11."

"We'll have two dogs, chips, some stewed prunes and a cup of warm milk."

"I wanna meet the Babe."

"These panty hose are starting to chafe."

"... but you see, the trick is to get a private chauffeur to take them around.... bury the expenses in some obscure budget line... "

McCain and Giuliani have a lot in common. They both exploited the tragedy of 9/11 for personal gain and political advantage. They both changed previous positions and kneeled before the extremist elements in the Republican party in a shameless effort to get votes.

And, they both left their previous wife and their children to run off with a younger woman and betray the vows they took on their wedding day. What a sad pair.

They had to leave in the 3rd inning. Diaper change/ nap.

You can't see Hillary in the photo but she was there.

Makes me proud to be a Cubs fan.

[zendem1]

Not to worry. They'll pollute Wrigley Field soon enough. McStain loves a good sports photo-op and the Cubs are winning games.

I remember seeing Tweedle Dee at the ballgame on HuffPo with Tweedle Dumb when he was still in the rethug run for president. Now here he is again only with Tweedle Dumber.

McFibber claimed he was responsible for the surge that allowed the Yankees to win.
