Great post, TM. Those of us in NH breathed a sigh of relief when the Kennedys decided to take their skiing and drinking elsewhere.
You Massachusetts folks have my deepest sympathy. I'm not sure there is a more pathetic or disgusting elected official than your Senior Balloon.
Back when I was in the National Guard, we had an evaluator from the Mass NG who lived on the Cape and worked at Camp Edwards. Somehow during the course of our time together, the subject of politics came up. His exact words to me were: "How do you like our Congressional delegation? We've got 2 queers and a good swimmer." LMAO!!!
(That was when Gerry Studds was still in Congress.)
That National Guardsman could well have been my father!!!
