BIG NEWS! Whatshisname - the guy with the Chris Dodd wattle - endorses Obama. Now if Obama gets John Mellencamp, Gary Hart, Gary Coleman, Carrot Top and David Soul, he’s packing for Pennsylvania Avenue!

BIGGER NEWS! Kerry found bigger loser than himself, and chose said loser as running mate in 2004. (There’s a management principle that describes this personality disorder.)

According to Michael Crowley of The New Republic, Bob Shrum, Kerry’s campaign manager will report in a forthcoming book that Kerry had qualms about choosing Edwards as his presidential running mate in 2004, and became “even queasier”after Edwards said he was going to share a story with Kerry that he’d never told anyone else. The story was that after Edwards’ son, Wade, had been killed, he climbed onto the slab at the funeral home and hugged his body, and promised that he would do all he could to make life better for people.

Trouble is, he told Kerry the same story a year or two earlier, with the same preface that he never told anyone the story before.
