I ran into Cameron Kerry at a restaurant last night. He is a well respected attorney in Boston. After an exchange of pleasantries, I told him that my Uncle served in Vietnam, and thought that Kerry was a lying, no-good dirtbag. I told him that I was glad his brother lost the election, and that we would reveal to the voters what a disgrace he is. I told him that we hope he loses his Senate seat, and that Teresa leaves him penniless.

The look on his face was priceless.

Sure wish I could've been there! I'd like to ask him if he has been caught in any basements lately.

I would have paid a thousand dollars to be a witness of your encounter. Then I would have stood up and gave you a standing ovation.

I would say he was absolutely appalled. His jaw almost hit the floor, and he was clearly nervous. Not that I'm a big guy or anything - I'm not - but you could tell he thought I might pull a gun or something. I'm sure he thinks I'm a nut job. He was with three other people - I presume one was his wife, and another couple. They were speechless.

To my dismay, he actually ended the conversation with real class. He said that he disagreed with me, but that I should be proud that my Uncle served in the war, and said he was proud of his brother for his decades of service to the country. His answer actually annoyed me a bit....you know how that can be. He was perfectly gentlemenly after getting over his shock. The only good thing is that I undoubtedly ruined dinner for the whole group. Every time I looked over, there was no conversation going on.

I love everything about Massachusetts except its politics. I am completely unelectable at the state level....the Boston Globe and local TV stations would do a number on somebody with many of my views. Even Romney, who is a true moderate, gets slammed regularly.

Remember in the final debate, Kerry was describing his mother in a hospital bed telling him how important integrity is...probably shameless pandering, but on the other hand, maybe she just really knew her son.
