Crucial Endorsements

Sports Guy sides with Kareem over Magic:

With my 2008 vote still up for grabs, Obama seized the upper hand after I read this New York Times feature and learned his chief speechwriter is a Red Sox fan and a 2003 graduate from the College of the Holy Cross! Let's see, Obama sounds like Cyrus from "The Warriors"; he wears a nicotine patch; he plays hoops; he loves "The Wire"; and now, the guy writing speeches for him went to the Cross. That's pretty tough to top.

I feel like the endorsment Obama really needs, though, is from the Sports Gal (plus her football picks were much better this season IIRC). Meanwhile, I have the reverse reaction to revelations about Red Sox fans from Cross.

Hmmm, if the Democrats are Lakers, shouldn't Simmons be for Mitt "McHale" Romney, John "Bird" McCain, or Rudy "Chief" Giuliani?

Rudy is pretty clearly Ainge, down to the innate instinct to pout and bitch. And how could anyone but Huck be the Hick from French Lick?

He sounds like Cyrus from "The Warriors?" Wow, that actually is a pretty good line from Simmons. Has anyone heard Obama say, "CAN YOU DIG IT?"

I'm not saying it's a landslide but you're taking the top seed in the douche-off, my friend
