Kerry Crossing the Go-nowhere

Our Native Son crosses Boston Inner Harbor on "Lulu E" with "fellow Vietnam vets" in tow

This is too rich.  Kerry is crossing the Inner Harbor in a ship called "Lulu E."  It's practically Washingtonian.

And now add today's immortal words to those of the Father of His Country:

George Washington: Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.

John Forbes Kerry: Bruce Springstein had it right . . . We're gonna win back our democracy and our future  . . . And how many of you got to hear my wife Teresa last night:  Wasn't she spectacular? . . . We're gonna write the next great chapter of America's history together.

Then on to Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Good."  Is this a great country, or what?
