Schilling Shills For Brown.

There's no doubt that Martha Coakley has run a catatonic campaign for Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate seat. Coakley has been tone deaf along the trail, including her ignorance of local deity and honorary Masshole Curt Schilling. As uninspiring as Coakley has been, there is also no doubt that her opponent--Republican Scott Brown--would be a boneheaded, backbench blast from our recent inglorious past. With the stench of Bush/Cheney still lingering, this Teabag Touchhole would look to freshly fertilize the right-wing's failed field of dreams, and his election would seriously threaten the passage of health care reform and every other piece of legislation that pisses off Teabag Nation and its handmaidens in the GOP.

Schilling, of course, loves him.
Coakley may have croaked as an electrifying campaigner, but she represents the 60th vote in the Senate.

Think of the alternative...
C'mon, Bay State; don't look back.
Tuesday's the big day in the Commonwealth. We'll soon see if Massachusetts Dems can do something right--like getting out the vote.

Jim Bunning Redux?

I know that politicians are often full of hot air, but this would be ridiculous.

From the AP, via ESPN:

Curt Schilling, the former major league pitcher who won the allegiance of Bostonians by leading the Red Sox to the 2004 World Series, said Wednesday that he has "some interest" in running for the seat held for nearly 50 years by Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

Schilling, a registered independent and longtime Republican supporter, wrote on his blog that while his family and video game company, 38 Studios, are high priorities, "I do have some interest in the possibility."

"That being said, to get to there, from where I am today, many, many things would have to align themselves for that to truly happen," he added.

Yes, Curt, great statesmen-in-waiting often defer to their video game company responsibilities. (Or something like that...)

Do us all a huge favor: stay on the sidelines and fondle your bloody sock.
