Yankeeography: George Steinbrenner

Few minutes in and the tone thus far, [blue]shockingly[/blue], is THE LEADER IS GOOD THE LEADER IS GOOD!!!

It's entertaining to hear how hard the silver-spooned one worked in his younger days.

On a serious note, Steinbrenner has to be in really bad shape b/c there are no new interviews with him in this one...but Joe Torre, wearing a Dodgers hat, is interviewed.

 

Funny they keep on showing the same shot of The Boss yuking it up with Murray Chass.

That Cindy Bigelow is pretty snappy looking huh?

 

You'd think someone would have told her George is not in the best of health and that perhaps offering him a toast is not the most best idea in the world.

 

There have to be 5,000 things I'd watch before a Yankeeography about The Boss on Al Yankzeera.

 

Unless the secretary who was fired for giving him the wrong kind of sandwich is interviewed, I don't want to watch it either.

 

Treatment of underlings who have no way at getting back at him -- highhanded.

On the human being scale, George . . . you lose. You lost, a long time ago.

And late-life "I'm helpless now, I've gained empathy" deathbed conversions don't count.

So long, scummo. Don't let the door hit you.
