Tabs Sock Giuliani Over Sox
He must have known New Yorkers would react this way.
A day after former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said he plans to root for the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, two of the city's tabloids offered their response.
"TRAITOR!" screamed the New York Daily News. "C'mon Rudy, How Could You Root For the Red Sox in Series?"
"REDCOAT" blared the New York Post. "Yank Fan Rudy Pulls for Bosox."
Could it be that he is supporting the Red Sox because the team is so popular in neighboring New Hampshire, where, by the way, the nation's first primary will be held sometime in January -- or maybe even in December?
No, says Giuliani.
"I'm an American League fan, and I go with the American League team -- maybe with exception of the Mets," he said. "Maybe that would be the one time I wouldn't, because I'm loyal to New York."
At least Giuliani made a choice. Sen. Hillary Clinton was asked during a recent debate what she would do if the Chicago Cubs played the New York Yankees in the World Series. Pressed by NBC's Tim Russert, she would only say that she "would have to alternate" her support, presumably from game to game.
And then there's Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), who declared himself a Sox fan but not the right one. In Boston, campaigning with Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) as the series was about to begin, Obama said, "I am a White Sox fan," eliciting some negative reaction. "You don't want somebody who pretends to be a Red Sox fan to be president of the United States."
