Spitzer hearts Jeff Gordon
I missed it, but the NY Times reports that Spitzer spent the whole day on Sunday watching NASCAR at Watkins Glen. Apparently his brother-in-law is an engineer for Hendrick Motorsports, and Spitzer’s become a huge fan.
This paragraph could be a parody of NYT writing:
For almost nine hours on Sunday, Eliot Spitzer, the Upper East Sider with the Princeton and Harvard education and the reputation for a hyperkinetic braininess, indulged his other side. Nascar, possibly the vehicle for the nation’s most overt display of country fried machismo, has recently become a calculated interest for ambitious politicians trying to appeal to a working-class male demographic.
Spitzer’s not in my top five right now, but it’s a welcome change to see a Democrat at a NASCAR event. (Remember Bush at the election-year Daytona 500?)
Guess who else was in Watkins Glen that weekend? Rochester-based North Country band 40 Rod Lightning. They ARE in my top five. If you haven’t seen them yet, you should. They play Johnny Cash like he’s Joey Ramone.
Tip for Spitzer: Try again. Think Hockey.
They play Johnny Cash like he’s Joey Ramone.
I Wanna Be Imprisoned? Punk Rockers In the Sky?
ha ha, something like that…
Check ‘em out Thursday 8/23 at Dinosaur BBQ.
They’re one of those bands that’s better live.
After having to watch 9 hours of NASCAR, I Wanna Be Sedated…
I’d be surprised if he wasn’t already, considering the stress of recent events.
I honestly don’t believe Watkins Glen was the best place for him to try to do damage control. And a “laid back” Eliot isn’t what I want. I want that fire in the belly, angry look in his eye, I’m going to get to the bottom of things Spitzer. Who’s advising him lately?
Dunno. Maybe Rove?
