Kerry To Kettle: "You're Black."

According to a report from the AP, which was picked up by the San Francisco Chronicle the less bad of the two terrible Bay Area newspapers, MA Sen. John Kerry "intervened in the Senate to keep open a loophole that had allowed a major insurer to divert millions" from the Big Dig, then received "tens of thousands" from AIG "during the next two years" . Now the Boston Brahmin who is a man of the people and not the special interests better explain that one. Paging Bob Shrum.

Some dirty laundry: According to the Boston Herald, A "Special Enquirer Investigation" of Kerry "kicks off with an old galpal's claim that" he "is so vain," he "always wanted to make love where he could see himself in the mirror." Aw, how sweet.

ex-Frontrunner Howard Dean sounds dour. In an e-mail to supporters, on the WI primary he said, "A win there will carry us to the big states of March 2 -- and narrow the field to two candidates. Anything less will put us out of this race." Sounds like WI will get rid of Dean and Maybe seriously undermine Kerry if Clark or Edwards can beat him there...

More proof on why we need to get rid of the Bush-Cheney Plauge, thanks to the LA Times: "SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia "traveled as an official guest" of VP Cheney on a small gov't jet "that served as Air Force Two when the pair came" to LA "last month to hunt ducks." Can you say Conflict of interest? Isn't Scalia voting on whether his pal Cheney should have his Energy panel members brought to light? Or if the government can indefinitely keep people in Guantanamo Bay without a lawyer? Not to say Scalia wasn't biased in the first place, but this is just shameless.
