Is nothing sacred? Former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani is a self-professed Yankee fan. Last week he even joked about making Joe Torre his running mate. Yesterday in Boston, when asked who he was rooting for in the World Series, Giuliani stated,

"I'm rooting for the Red Sox".

This is a pathetically obvious pandering for votes which no true Red Sox fan/voter would ever fall for. This is the biggest flip-flop in political history. Yankees fans are enraged. Giuliani has been known for his questionable loyalty in the past however as his ex-wife, Donna Hanover, accused him of "notorious adultery" during their divorce proceedings. What's next? Is he going to start cheering "Yankees Suck" at the Republican Convention?

Mitt Romney would NEVER, EVER root for the Yankees in any game ever played. The Romney campaign's response to the scandal?

"I guess if Colorado wants Mayor Giuliani to root for the Rockies, they’re going to have to move their primary up."

This leaves carpet-bagger Hillary Clinton as the only "true" Yankee fan in the race even though she grew up in Chicago.

Go Sox!
