He's the same ex-Navy dude who, before resigning (and while under House investigation), embraced the Senate candidacy of fellow ex-Navy dude and fellow Democrat Joe Sestak.
One wonders if he offered the courtesy of a reach-around. One also wonders if Sestak has more unvetted endorsements coming. Although, in some ways, Massa for Sestak makes sense: Sestak's campaign's been groping, too.
Speaking of misplaced minds, did you hear retiring Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy lose it on the House floor? He went off on national media for too much Massa coverage and not enough war reporting. Sounded like a booze-fueled pub rant. At least he wasn't driving.
Speaking of driving, someone needs to drive Dan Rather back to the '50s.
Catch his comment on Chris Matthews' show a Sunday ago?
Rather said that President Obama is in such a leadership hole that "he couldn't sell watermelons" (on the side of the road), adding, even "if you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic." Matthews freaked and talked over everything Rather said after "watermelons," clearly offering cover.
Didn't hear about it? Think you would have if Glenn Beck or Rush had said it?
(An aside: Get your notice in the mail that you'll soon get a census form in the mail? What's this, another Washington cost-saving idea? Mass-produce and mass-mail notices to 100 million households to say a form is coming? Who makes these decisions? Larry? Moe? Curly?)
Meanwhile, there are unsettling signs in Pennsylvania.
With a need for change and renewal in the Legislature after multiple scandals over multiple years - pay raise, pension hike, late budgets, perks, corruption - more than one-third of lawmakers seeking re-election have no opposition at all.
