OH HO HO WE BETTER CHANGE OUR VOTE: “BOSTON — In the race to succeed the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, U.S. Senate candidate Martha Coakley went on the attack Tuesday with a sharply worded television ad attacking her Republican rival Scott Brown, but the rush to production led to a misspelling of Massachusetts, WCVB-TV reported.” Journamalism at its finest, WCVB! BUT SERIOUSLY DEMOCRATS: Try not to lose Massachusetts and a 60th vote to that mean old porn star. [WCVB]

As if the guy could win even they spelled Massachusetts “New Hampshire”
I remember being so proud about being able to spell M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I when I was a kid, but to this day I can’t spell Massachusetts without looking it up. I think it has something to do with the phonetics of it (pronounced “Wooster”).
[re=493357]finallyhappy[/re]: I’m not taking any chances. This guy is a dick and is too close in the polls for my comfort.
Fuck spelling it, I’m never sure how to abbreviate the place; there’s too many damn M states and each abbreviation fits like three or four of them.
In her defense, Ms. Cokely was merely trying to function at the intellectual level of her constituents, the Red Sox/Patriots fans.
Live! One night only! John Williams and the Boston Pops, with special guest performers John Kerry & the Massachusettes!
If you vote for Martha Coakley, then you are objectively anti-hunk.
There’s way too much of this guy here in Cosmopolitan magazine. He may be no Teddy Kennedy, but at least he can spelle Massachussettes.
That WCVB report certainly has nothing to do with the fact that his wife works there.
“Massachusettes” is the feminine spelling of Massachusetts.
It’s rarely used due to the fact that it draws unwanted attention to the fishy stench permeating the lower part of the state.
Massachusetts is nothin’; the ss’s and tt’s have a nice balance at either end of the word. Connecticut is a bitch, tho, unless you think “Connect, I cut.”
I thought Massachusette was the snarky Boston political blog.
So, Scott, even though you people can marry each other in Massachusetts, you* now want to be elected to federal office? Enuf is enuf.
* I’m speaking of the light-skinned.
[re=493371]Extemporanus[/re]: I get it. Just like “Wonkett” is the masculinization of “Wonkette”.
[re=493370]Come here a minute[/re]: “She is married to State Sen. Scott Brown and has two daughters, Ayla, a well-known singer since her participation on the popular television program “American Idol”, and Arianna, an accomplished equestrian.”
Clearly, his children are out of control already. The pony fetish thing can happen to any tween girl, but Ayla is simply doomed forever.
[re=493382]SmutBoffin[/re]: Hey Massachusett, seems everything is wicked retahded to you.
[re=493382]SmutBoffin[/re]: Actually, ‘Wonkett’ is ‘Wonkette’ with TruckNutz(TM).
At least they didn’t misspell “Special Erection.”
Republicans, however, can spell it fine — they only have problems mixing up n and q — and but for that simple spelling mistake, Dubya would’ve finished that whole war on terror thing in 2004. Missioq Accomplished.
[re=493394]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Not true. Republicans, even those running for office in Massachusetts, are contractually obligated to only say or write the state’s name as “Taxachusetts”.
I think there’s a few more T’s and S’s in there.
So, if the Dems do somehow pull this out, does that mean that all Americans have decided to become Socialist? Because, that seems to be what Conservatives are implying.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is a cherished Democratic tradition.
[re=493444]Judas Peckerwood[/re]: Truer words never spoken (or blogged).
It’s just the classic spelling of the Puritans–Ye Olde Porte of Boston, Maffachusettes. They did love the E’s, those Puritans. And to make S’s look like F’s.
The fucking teabaggers are giving this dickhead money. He got like 1.3 million overnight. I am worried.
MASS is hard!
More fun here: American Idol singing sensation Ayla Brown is upset that Coakley is saying mean things about her dad and the whole misspelling thing is just a big turn-off to women voters.

What’s wrong with this spelling Scott? Massachussettes for the 3 girl votes your gonna get because you hate rape victims so much. And Massachusetts for the boy dicks who love them.
