I can't believe I missed that! And Friday or Saturday, someone from the firefighters' union (which already endorsed him) sort of offered him an out: he said that if Kerry showed and marched with the picketers for a while and talked with them, they'd be willing to cut him slack for crossing the picket line afterwards.
This could get very very fun!
According to the Boston Globe, mayor Menino (Dem) is really pi&&#ed at Kerry for cancelling the speech.
Let's hope Menino plays hardball and refuses to settle the union dispute before next month's donkey convention.
What in the world can Kerry do if they picket the convention???!!!!
Contrast and compare: Bush imagines, plans, authorizes, and completes the liberation of 50 million severely repressed people, and Kerry can't shmooze policemen in his home town!!!!
That should say it all, even to diehard libs. (I know it won't but it SHOULD!) I, for one, will use this example all summer when I get into discussions with "undecideds."
