Meehan is a lying hypocritical dork who will say absolutely anything in order to stay before the cameras. He covets John Kerry's U.S. Senate seat and he will continue to seek attention with this objective in mind.
Kerry will not be surrendering his Senate seat anytime soon, but Meehan will still consider that he has a chance and will behave accordingly. The lying weasel will insinuate anything at all if it keeps him in the media spotlight.
He is only interested in himself, and he has been a political operative for a very long time. Incidentally, Meehan was almost redistricted out of his own seat after the 2000 census. The Massachusetts legislature leadership took him to task for certain hints that he made about running for the governorship. Meehan quickly fell into line, and the Congressional redistricting (which made perfect geographical and political sense) plan was shelved.
Marty Meehan is going to say a lot of controversial things during this campaign season as he feels now that his seat is "safe." In case anyone forgets, he was one of the first to criticize President Bush on 9-11 for not flying to Washington immediately. This same Meehan who calmly sat in his Capitol office during the bomb scare when every one else fled the building,(as if.)
In my view, Meehan is among the most contemptable of all professional politicians. Of course, I would say that about most of the professional politicians from Massachusetts, and especially the large portion of the Congressional delegation from this Commonwealth.
