Even Bill Clinton Hearts Tom Brady

Politicians will squeeze the juice out of pretty much anything, including the World Series and the Super Bowl. Only recently, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani made a legendary blunder when he said on a Boston trip that he was rooting for the Red Sox. Yankees fans were appalled, and Sox fans felt a little scuzzy.

But former president and First Campaigner Bill Clinton was smooth 'n' silky when asked about his favorite for the Super Bowl. He didn't think twice--he's rooting for the New York Giants, and he should be because that's where his wife is a senator. He clearly learned something from L'Affaire Giuliani.

Then, without missing a beat, he soothed the hearts of New England Patriots fans by calling Tom Brady a friend and golfing buddy.

Rudy, take note: That is how a politician works a sports event!
