>>a botched joke by John Kerry

I get the feeling Kerry's campaign was doomed even before
the botched joke but that just sealed it

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
(insert Ted Knight laugh)
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.

Til I finally died (POLITICALL), which started the whole world living, (THANK GOD!)
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.

He's really going to UMass? Howie really discounted the possibility when the story first came up. I wonder if there's anything interesting going on behind the scenes.

Wow. What a step down for such an important man! A legend in his own mind. Maybe he'll fade away.

OR, maybe he'll get a talkshow host gig at RKO like all the other former hacks..........:)

I hope it only airs in the Boston market. Go outside the freeway ring (I can't recall the number) and NO ONE will be able to understand his thick accent!

Never saw him in person but I saw him on C-SPAN--they were televising Howie's show and Marty came on with him. Here, Marty is, errrr, very, very glad to, errrrr, be in the company of, errrr, Mike "Good Jobs, at Good Wages" Dukakis.

Hey, that's Mike "my wife drinks cleaning solvent in closets and I'm qualified to be President" Dukakis! He used to come to Wisconsin back in '86 and '87 and brag about his "Massachusetts Miracle". How'd that work out, anyway?

Well I'm not raccoon radio, the one to whom you addressed the question, but I am a MA resident and I can tell you the supposed "Massachusetts Miracle" was totally tarnished well before the end of his run for President.

About the time he took that ride in the tank with that dorky helmet that covered half his head, the "miracle" was emerging has yesterday's story and today's lie.

Yeah imagine having a cleaning fluid drinking first lady? Your instructions to the cleaning staff would have to include what not to touch with polish and what not to hit with the vacuum cleaner and oh yes, please don't give my wife any windex, OK?

Howie Carr retold a story about Dukakis being advised to schmooze with some union types. He invites a couple of them to his home, and offers them a beer, which the union guys accept. Dukakis comes back with a single bottle and two glasses.

My take is that either the wife raided the fridge, or Dukakis was just being cheap with money that isn't the taxpayers'. That is, his own.

I'm going with the latter.
