Kerry Accuses Dean of Liking the Yankees

[wyldwolf]

Massachusetts Senator John Kerry is again challenging presidential rival Howard Dean's allegiance to Red Sox Nation.

With Boston preparing to face archrival New York in the American League Championship Series, Kerry said Tuesday that if New York beats Boston in the best-of-seven series that begins Wednesday, he'll send New England clam chowder to Dean's campaign. He wants Manhattan chowder from Dean if Boston wins.

Kerry last month accused Dean, the former Vermont governor and current front-runner for the Democratic nomination, of being a Yankees fan.

Dean, a New York native, called the accusation insulting, and insisted he backs Boston.

``Howard Dean has a relationship with the Yankees that goes way back so we hope he is willing to put some chowder behind his childhood team,'' Kerry spokeswoman Kelley Benander said.

Dean, however, told reporters in Iowa that he's rooting for the Red Sox. He's also pulling for the Chicago Cubs to beat the Florida Marlins in the National League Championship Series.

1. It's that kind of juvinile crap that turns people away

from a candidate.

3. Humor on the campaign trail

Nahhh...I think this is their little way of burying the hatchet - - keeping in sync with the fact the two are pitted against each other, but changing the attacks from personal to the trivial.

Men are just this way! Sometimes the only meaningful conversations a father and son ever have are over sports....

2. Jesus wept!

:eyes: *sigh*

[piece sine]

7. but even Jesus...

is for the Yankees. He's knows they're going to win. And He wants to see how many World Series rings Jeter can collect before turning 30.

9. Jesus wouldn't be for the Yankees!

For verily, Steinbrenner hath turned the house of Babe Ruth into a Den of Thieves!

6. Hes joking obviously from my observation

IMO lol
I will laugh my ass off though if Kucinich says he is an Orioles fan but my joke to him possibly being an Indians fan is that when they beat us in the '97 ACLS it was legit, lol no Jeffrey Meier. :) take no offense yankee fans I dont hate yankee fans or people who like the yanks but I dont like the yankees lol I have my reasons.

8. Thank God Dean is not a Yankees fan

I was about to dump him just for that. There is no greater crime against humanity than to be a Yankees fan.

Go Sox. Go Cubs.

THEY LIKE BASEBALL. :puke: :puke:
