A friend emails me some more George W Bush-New York Yankee parallels:

Blowing 3-0 lead [in the 2004 ALDS] = Squandering of good will after 9/11 Signings of Carl Pavano and Jaret Wright = Nominations of Bernie Kerik and Harriet Miers A-Rod in October = “Heckuva Job Brownie” during Katrina Mike Mussina degrading from 6 pitch force to junkballer = Colin Powell Cheng Ming Wang game 1 starter = $3 trillion debt owned by China Torre giving playing time to Bernie Williams long after his skills were gone = Bush sticking with Alberto Gonzales Overmatched Marlins in 2003 = Iraqi insurgency Firing of Torre = Firing of Shinseki

Do add your own in the comments.
