as an obamacare person, i ask myself this every single day.

my job would be a bazillion times easier if that fucking bill had been reconciled.

(though i love the idea that teddy got his way and his career goal and the republicans lost and they've lost 53 times since then...)

Cellucci was ambassador to Canada, not any South American countries; Weld was nominated to be ambassador to Mexico - otherwise a nice snapshot of MA most recent political fiascos.

As a Massachusetts resident, I still shake my head to think that *any* Democrat could be such a strong not-campaigner that they could lose Teddy Fucking Kennedy's seat to a Republican in a statewide race ... most days around these parts, you can fit all of Massachusetts' Republicans into a nicely appointed tour bus.

I shall never underestimate Coakley's ability to not-campaingn herself out of an easy win again!

Why does this make me think of a scene out of the movie <i>Yes Man</i>?

When Sacchetti exclaimed “Sweetheart?!” Baker quickly replied, “I’m kidding. Sweetcheeks. I mean, I was joking around. Don't be such a cunt. I MEAN, BITCH, JESUS, GET OFF MY BACK!" *shocked, he claps his hands over his mouth*
