I checked Massachusetts papers and got this gem about “I endorsed Obama first” Kerry
One for the Schadenfreude list! To think DNC picked him as our candidate in 2004! Here’s Kerry grumbling about it in 2008
“ ‘John Kerry doesn’t get anything done. John Kerry lives in the shadow of Ted Kennedy. John Kerry doesn’t deliver. Blah, blah, blah,’ ” Kerry told the Herald in an October 2008 interview. “I’m sort of tired of that, actually. I’m going to fight back a little harder to make sure people understand that that’s an insult to my staff when people say that.”
Meanwhile, upstate NY, they talk about “bruised Obama” trying to change subject, image
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal shows us an image of the new populist Obama golfing with his friendly banker, as well as the old news of Bernake’s nomination hitting snags
as they finally break the news about Bernake’s woes in getting re-confirmed
New York Times is also on this yesterday news
while upstate, Buffalo News has anti-choicers march and effort to get their language in the HCR – not gnomes they

Schadenfreude « Not Your Sweetie
[...] Post Scott Brown – Kerry continues to be “the other one” “He’s out of the shadow of Ted Kennedy and he’s finally the senior senator, and he still is being upstaged by this new rising star within the Republican ranks,”. Even got the cover on this [...]

I wonder if that bowling story on the front page with the “bruised Obama” is a nod to his own pathetic 37 while bowling during the primaries. Anyone remember this?
well, not necessarily…

Sometimes, newspapers tell stories with the placement of photos, articles. Even if they didn’t this time, what a great reminder!

Great finds, today NYS!
Kerry did have his moment, brief as it was, when Obama oblitherating at Martha’s rally, introduced Kerry as the Senior Senator from Massachusetts.
Although true, I felt it was faux pas to do so at a rally being held under the auspices of The Party and The Kennedy’s.

Right. Sounded like “Ding dong, the witch is dead”. Or “the king is dead, long live the king!”
Anyway, Kerry infuriated me so deeply, for so many years (“I have no time to cry in my tea cup for stolen elections-2004) that no amount of humiliatio will satisfy my need for vindication.

ROFL Life is so unfair. All these years Kerry thought all he had to do was banish the Clintons!

The really fun part of this is that these buffoons, Kerry included, thought they could “banish” the Clintons. Those smelly folks who actualy gave a darn about ordinary people – how dare they!
What’s ever funnier is that the Clintons have a karma…somehow, all the folks who tried to butcher them ended up in the hinterlands. Watch out Axlerod and Emmanual, you are next.

The uneasy new found populism of Barack Obama « Not Your Sweetie
[...] banking on his gushing media at the time. Massachusetts proved that he now stands between the pitchforks and the bankers. Telling voters that Scott Brown represented the bankers didn’t sound quite convincing coming from the Goldman Sachs candidate. Just see how easy Wall Street Journal punctured that with one photo on their front page [...]
