Goldberg on the Kennedy Seat


Shellback pointed this out to me:
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NmQzM2YwNDJjZjA3NjgwY2RhMGZmOGVkNGJhYTYxM2U=, Jonah Goldberg's column on the race in Massachusetts for the hereditary Kennedy senate seat now threatened by some hideous Republican reptile who never reads the Sunday NYT. Funny guy, Goldberg. Also, one of the seven or eight Jews in the United States that apparently doesn't punch a straight Democratic ballot. One of the others works out at the JCC where I do and had a sticker on his car bumper during the last election that read, "Another Jew for McCain." Used to make me laugh when I saw it, wondering where indeed was that other Jew? Not a lot of red state types at the J, except for a few goyem here and there--even most of them are into purple and demanding gym staff remove, REMOVE Fox News from the one television set tuned to it (have seen it happen).

Yeah, Ted's gone and they apparently can't dig up one coherent Kennedy to replace him. The others seem always addled or trying to get an annulment or something. Caroline made a brief foray for the New York gig but threw in the towel after missing one too many lunches at the Russian Tea Room. So, Ted's gone, they're going rogue in Bahstun, and Orin Hatch never, ever did get that invite to a Kennedy Compound touch football game. He would have fumbled the damn ball, anyway.
