I can't stand liberal sportswriters who think that they're also political commentators. Mike Lupica of the NY Daily News is a prime example of this. He started out by taking little potshots at Bush, Cheney, Limbaugh, Giuliani, and other Republicans in his "Shooting From The Lip" Sunday column. Then, a couple of years ago, some genius at the Snooze decided to give him a Monday column. So now we are "treated" to his thoughts on politics and current events every Monday. It's pretty much the same column every week: Bush destroyed the country, Cheney had 5 Vietnam deferments, Limbaugh is an idiot, Beck is an idiot, Obama is God. He has a serious man-crush on Obama -- after the '08 election he even compared the guy to Jackie Robinson! And, as you might expect, he HATES Sarah Palin. Conservative women in general seem to grate on him. In recent weeks he's slammed Governor Jan Brewer and Christine O'Donnell. But Sarah is a real burr under his saddle. Every time he mentions her name, I can almost hear his testicles retreating into his body. His political thoughts are about as deep as a driveway puddle. He must have some serious blackmail photos of the Snooze's publishers -- I can't think of any other reason for them giving him this column.
