Kerry (Who?) Letter to the Boston Globe

Boston Globe ^ | 01/26/06 | John Kerry

[raccoonradio]

I RESPECT Brian McGrory's blunt and honest, never-indifferent observations, even when they sting me and my colleagues. However, his take on Mike Capuano (''Traveling to oblivion," City & Region, Jan. 20) didn't reflect the Mike Capuano I know who serves his district with guts, heart, and a commitment that sets a high standard for any member of Congress. Massachusetts is well served by the experience and tenacity he brings to public service, and we'd all be better off if he were in the majority cleaning up the Washington that's broken the public trust under one-party rule.

JOHN KERRY
Boston

The writer is a US senator from Massachusetts.

First of all, I'm glad the Globe mentioned who this man is. Gee, I didn't know! I've lived in Mass. for all of my nearly 44 years and have had him as Senator since 1984. But I guess they still need to mention who he is. (At least they're not writing "John Kerry is the 44th President of the United States".)

Second, one-party rule...kind of like Massachusetts, where the legislature is about 90 per cent Democrat and both Senators and all 10 Congressmen are Democrats?

[HOTTIEBOY]

Wake me when John Kerry is done.

LOL! Right.

I think that Capuano is the only member of the all-democRAT
Massachusetts Congressional delegation who freely admits to being a Communist.

[raccoonradio]

>>freely admits to being a Communist.

He must get along well with former Burlington VT mayor,
and now "independent" (yeah, right) Congressman
Bernie Sanders (I-Ben and Jerry's)

[Gay State Conservative]

He must get along well with....Congressman Bernie Sanders...

True,and I'll bet he gets along well with The Former Twelfth Lady (when there are no reporters or microphones around).
