Never mind that Obama terrorist fist bump cover. Look inside The New Yorker, and check out Ben Greenman's inspired mock Broadway show script, A-Rod, The Musical. (This being The New Yorker, you also can find out that Harold Bloom is dismayed by A-Rod's failure to come though in the clutch.) In Greenman's goof, Madonna sings "If you want to get in my good graces, grab your bat and round the bases" and Guy Ritchie rages against his slugging tormentor: "I’ll ruin him. I’ll wreck him, I’ll kick out his teeth. I’ll bend him like Beckham." Lenny Kravitz makes an appearance, and C-Rod gives A-Rod an earful: "You put me at great risk, you know— Emotional, venereal/I’ve retained a lawyer, so now let’s see which girl’s material."
