Obama Knows Ball, Hillary Not So Much
By Jamie Mottram | January 20, 2008
Like anything else, we don’t discuss politics very much unless that world happens to cross over into the sports world. Such is the case as the race for the presidential nomination heats up and things turn a bit unseemly amongst democrats on the campaign trail:
“On Friday night there was another attack, a radio ad from the Clinton campaign in which basketball star and Clinton friend Earvin “Magic” Johnson calls Obama a “rookie.” The Obama campaign immediately produced a rebuttal noting that Johnson in his rookie year won the MVP award in the National Basketball Association finals.”
The lesson here? Don’t fake the funk when using basketball against Obama. Barry loves hoop, and Agent Zero is his running mate. No one’s rewriting hardwood history under his watch. Right, Ziller?
