A-Rod is Making Like George Jefferson and Movin’ On Up to the East Side

You younger readers may not remember the wonderful 70s show known as The Jeffersons, a sitcom centered around the African-American owner of a dry cleaners, his wife Weezy, and his sassy maid Florence.  The show made 70s racist humor in vogue.
But, as usual, I digress.
Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez is making like George Jefferson (now you get it) and ditching his $30,000 per month bachelor pad for a $6 million, 3600-square-foot, 5-bedroom condo at ultra-swanky The Rushmore.
Well la-de-da.
Amenities include a fitness center, indoor pool and a nearby park with a baseball field.  Wait…that’s it?  For $6 million I’d expect valet parking, maid service, in-house escorts, and all the free porn I could watch.
Guess $6 million doesn’t go as far as it used to.
A-Rod says that a lack of privacy is the reason behind the move, but if you ask me, I think he needed the extra space for his used-to-be-hot-but-now-not-so-much girlfriend Cameron Diaz, his massive ego, and his plethora of centaur portraits.
