Republican Family Values

Remember Anna Benson? Pitcher Kris Benson's virulently right-wing lingerie/Playboy model wife? The reason the Mets traded Benson, a solid starting pitcher, for a failed reliever?

Here she is, demonstrating that she has no, ahem, hard feelings after her husband not only pitched well, but homered to help the Orioles beat the Mets:

Afterward, the ever-quotable Anna held an impromptu press conference in which she gloated about the Revenge of the Bensons and offered the Mets an adult salve to soothe the wounds of losing to Kris, the pitcher they dumped. Her proposal probably only reinforced the Mets' feeling they were right to trade the whole family.

"I am feeling generous," she said. "I was going to offer to send a case of K-Y Jelly down to the Mets' clubhouse. For as many guys prepared to use it. Give me a number."

Niiiiice. I also remember when she vowed to sleep with every single one of Kris's teammates if he ever cheated on her.
