Or, “Senator Obama, we knew Jack Kennedy, and you, Senator, are–well, dude, you were two-years-old….”
But that really does hurt, HRC, and we feel your pain. But Uncle Ted, Joe Jr., Caroline–that’s dirty touch football, sports! With certain voter groups–including many in the “50+ over-educated guilty white liberal people” block–Kennedy endorsements cannot be trumped. Ouch! But misty-eyed we-shall-overcome Leary-lovin’ Mailer-readin’ baby-boomer old white liberal that WAC? is, the Truth is that Hillary Clinton is 10 times more prepared and qualified to become president than Obama is. Hands down. Still, ouch. This is a street thing now, my fresh-faced friend. An Irish thing. Whiskey! Hit us again! Another. Another. Turn your glasses over. We got the sand now–and we be most game for ya’. Begin the new age, new frontier epic battle: Boston Lace-Curtain Irish v. Chicago Little Rock-Bubba Protestants.
Anyway, Irish up by one…
