So, the spousal unit had MSNBC on when I got back inside from putting eeeeeevil ice melter on my snowy driveway so the contractors won't bust their butts getting to my house this morning.
MSNBC was going ga-ga over Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Oh-bomb-ah (really, that's how the Chi-town pol wants it pronounced). Now, the way I see it, the Swimmer's word on anything isn't taken too seriously except by Big Dig labor labor union business agents who have to write him payola checks so he can run interference for their lousy job, but this will ensure that those labor unions toe the Oh-bomb-ah line and stay away from Clintonian blandishments.
Ted could have stayed in his wine cellar room. The big labor unions were going to go for Oh-bomb-ah anyway, since he and Edwards (yep, Edwards will be either his Veep or his AG) are good buddies with like minds (Marxist minds). The Clintons are a bit too buddy-buddy with multinational corporations to suit the labor bosses, who never studied Econ 101 and know nothing about the position of the labor force in the overall production of goods and services.

Anyway, back to Mess-up NBC. They trotted out some very Low Boston Irish guy who is some sort of media guru back there, and he blathered on with much blarney trying to lend gravitas to the Swimmer: "long-serving Senator", brother to (genuflect NOW!) John and Robert Kennedy, etc, etc ad nauseam. This phony Irish mafioso even invoked the name of Caroline Kennedy and Patrick Kennedy.
Oh well, it's getting closer to St. Paddy's Day, the time of the year when we are supposed to tolerate a maximum dose of blarney. I guess that gives this mick at least the opportunity, if not the right, to wax poetic about the Swimmer.
The Kopechne clan might disagree.
