This puts me in mind of the late Chicago Mayor Daley (the father) who said, at a press conference, complaining against the Hard Left or enemies on the Board of Aldermen: “I have been vilified. I have been crucified. I have EVEN been criticized!” Oh horrors, not CRITICIZED!!! He was, as they said: Hizzoner Da Mare! Kerry is the East end of the mare heading westward. Thanks for the laugh.
