Martha Coakley’s campaign to keep Republican Scott Brown out of “Ted Kennedy’s seat” in the Senate just keeps cranking out the punch lines. I can’t recall ever seeing so many unforced, self=inflicted errors in my life time.
Of course, handing Brown the straight line quoted above, so that he could respond with the now-classic “It’s not Kennedy’s seat, it’s the people’s seat” was probably the best ever. Coakley’s campaign then made it even sweeter by attempting to use the “people’s line” in her own campaign. Oops.
But now — oh sweetness of sweetness, oh sugar, oh honeypie, Chris Van Hollen, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, delivers himself into Brown’s hands, and, we hope, the people’s seat to Brown:
Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident?”
As always, Mary Jo Kopechne was not available for comment. However, I strongly suspect that if she’s anywhere, she’s laughing her halo off.
And dare I say, Dan Quayle is probably choking on his potatoe right now from sheer, unbridled hilarity.
From Fox News, via a string starting with Ann Althouse.
The Dems are cutting their own throats with sheer stupid arrogance. Unbelievable, but lovely.
I’m looking forward to Tuesday’s election results.
