Is a "Special Election" anything like a "Special class"? Sure seems it.

I had to laugh when I saw the NBC Nightly News coverage of the Primary...

"Martha Coakley, who plans to follow Ted Kennedy's plan..."

"Mike Capuano, who worked closely with Senator Kennedy..."

"Oh, yeah...there's a couple Republicans, too..."

OK, the last one was ad libbed by Yours Truly, but that's about how it
came off!

The Killer: Kennedy's widow did not want to run in the election, neither
did Kennedy's nephew, Joseph, who was a Congressman from Massachusetts"

Too bad. This may irk some of my Republican friends, but I probably would
vote for Joe in a heartbeat. But he's making too much money on his heating
oil business. (BTW, he also supplies FREE heating oil to the truly needy,
and gets his free oil from Venezuela. Chavez is good for something...)

But wait, there's more!

But another Joe Kennedy has entered the race. He's 38 years old, an
information technology executive, and no kin to the famous family. Monday,
he gave the Massachusetts secretary of state 13,000 signatures on
petitions to get his name on the ballot next month as an independent.
Kennedy told USA TODAY he used a combination of paid petition-circulators
and volunteers to collect the signatures. "I have some money of my own,"
he said when asked how he financed the operation.


At least he's not related.

But it kind of irks me how, if your name is Kennedy, the media expects and
almost WANTS you to run for a seat! His wife is barely a Kennedy by
marriage and they expected HER to run!!!

And, you know, there was some, you know, speculation that, you know,
Caroline might, you know, run for the office of, you know, Senator from,
you know, Massachusetts...

Even you Liberals have to agree she makes Palin sound like, you know, a
Rhodes Scholar

You betcha!

And basically how we wound up with Obama instead of McCain.

Wonder if Coke-head Roberts has taken off her cheerleader uniform yet...

Can you really imagine McCain as president? A person prone to anger
and just plain nastiness? Just what we need the president and veep
locked in byzantine intrigue of back stabbing and retribution.

Yup. Sure can. Could be absolutely no worse than now, probably not owing
trillions of dollars to China and Japan, and certainly not fighting over
Doctor's visits.
