September 30, 2008 --

David Wright, the Mets' slugging third baseman, preferred talking
politics to baseball after his choke-prone team blew a last chance at
the playoffs Sunday. That night, Wright, a Republican who has dined
with President Bush at the White House, was chatting with Kelly
Hocklass, an African-American woman, at Duke's Sports Bar on East 19th
Street. A spy said, "[Wright] professed his love for [John] McCain and
'hot hockey mom' [Sarah Palin] and then told [Hocklass], 'I'm a white
boy from Virginia. Who do you think I'm voting for?' " Wright also
told her, "You are being fooled by [Barack] Obama because of the color
of your skin." But Hocklass told us the two were just joking around.
"We were just having a conversation," she said. "I wear an Obama pin
and said to him, 'Don't tell me you're a McCain supporter.' We started
joking about being Democrat versus Republican. It was a typical
conversation at a bar and not serious. We're friends."

After Mike Piazza compared meeting Rush Limbaugh to George Washington,
nothing else really matters, does it?
