The New York Yankees won the World Series in 2000. A few days later, New Yorkers elected Hillary Rodham Clinton, an Illinois native who claimed to be a "lifelong Yankees fan," to the United States Senate.
Since then, here's the Yankees' record:
2001: Lost World Series to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
2002: Lost Division Series to the Anaheim Angels.
2003: Lost World Series to the Florida Marlins.
2004: Lost League Championship Series to the Boston Red Sox, in a historic collapse.
Coincidence? I think not.
Is The Curse of The Bambino dead? We'll know within the next ten days.
But The Clinton Curse is obviously alive and doing its filthy work.
