When you're a Republican, it can be difficult to keep the lies straight. Rest assured, Marty Brennaman has it all figured out. He's dialed in to a strict regiment that insures his narrow views of the world are affirmed on a daily basis.
As the Reds battled the Rays today, Marty and his son Thom were discussing just how vicious the New York tabloids can be. Thom said, more as a statement than a question, "You read that trash every day."
To which Marty replied, "I read it every day, religiously. The Daily News and The New York Post. I’m all over it. I can tell you one thing … [taking a moment for some play by play] you won’t catch me reading that liberal rag The New York Times. You can book that."
[ed. note One day later The New York Times would break the news that the Democratic governor of New York has been using a high class prostitute ring, effectively ending his political career. I wonder if Marty read about it? I wonder if he was as up in arms with their coverage as he was when they reported John McCain's messy personal, entanglements with a female lobbyist ... We'll soon find out the next time the Reds are on the radio.]
It's an election year, which means legendary Cincinnati Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman will be peppering his play-by-play with Republican propaganda and other misguided notions. One would like to think a baseball game could be a political free zone, but not Marty, who apparently believes that part of his job is to keep Cincinnati red. This blog will chronicle the Hall of Famer, as he gets down on his knees for the GOP throughout the 2008 baseball season.
