Yesterday, Massachusetts bashing

I think everyone may be jealous of the two entertaining powerhouses that are the Massachusetts senators. This points out all of the nasty things that the New York Times wrote about John Kerry last weekend. Wonkette finishes off the post with this:

Leibovich, of course, is just continuing the tradition of Times journalism started with the classic 1982 magazine profile, “Ted Kennedy: Stupid Fatty.”

Which is extremely funny, especially since Ted Kennedy actually is fat. But this is what makes the Massachusetts delegation so great. You have the loutish, drunken, red-faced Kennedy paired up with the beanpole Frenchified sober dandy. They't like the odd couple, like a sad string bean next to a happy-go-lucky carrot, like a pastry chef's éclair paired with a Hostess Cupcake. Sorry, Ted Kennedy reminds me of food.

All I'm saying is, I challenge any state to match both the political heft (even post election) and the sheer entertainment value of the Mighty Massachusetts Senators.

Also, Joe Biden ran in 1988 and failed miserably, so come 2024, Kerry may run again.
