The Los Angeles Dodgers recently clinched the National League Western Division championship, and it happens that they did so in Chase Field, the home of the rival Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers celebrated in the clubhouse, as is the normal custom, but then a group of Dodgers ventured back out onto the field, and swarmed the swimming pool located beyond the outfield wall.
Some Diamondbacks took exception to this, but then Senator John McCain (R-AZ) took some time off from promoting his latest war to chiding the Dodgers for their wet celebration.

Jon Stewart really needs to be the one writing this column. Ladies and gentlemen, and baseball fans of all ages, we present to you: The Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Sen. John McCain.
No spoof.
The issue that gripped America on Friday: Did the Dodgers commit a breach of etiquette by jumping in the Arizona Diamondbacks' pool to celebrate the National League West championship?
Was this truly a matter of great importance in these United States? Must have been, because the senior senator from Arizona took to Twitter to let his position be known, in no uncertain terms.
"No-class act by a bunch of overpaid, immature, arrogant, spoiled brats!" The tweet included a link to an Arizona Republic column with this headline: "The Dodgers are idiots."
This is good news for John McCain!
