That’s a shame. Considering how well he managed to change cable bills.

This is Massachusetts we're talking about here - a state that has had no problem re-electing Mary Jo Kopechne's killer, a Vietnam War traitor, and several flagrant queers.

Markey is an idiot. He would be a perfect candidate for U.S. Senator from MA.

He was mine for years too. Out of curiosity, when was the last time you saw him in the district?

The last time I saw him was a few years back when Framingham still had Flag Day Parades. He almost always marched in their Flag Day Parades.

The best thing to do in extra-”constitutional” MA is to give John F. Kerry two votes. That way, he can use the additional salary to start paying back Teresa for the 2004 boondoggle which almost elected him!
