tweet I just saw. Shouldn't JK "grow up" :-)?

23. Oh, understand now

Yep. It sounds like it was a joke (like various takes on the Senator's injuries) and would come across as demaning or just caught up in the moment. Unless he knows/understands how desperate Brownie is (SOPA/PIPA stance, showing up for MLK Day BoBreakest), given he is up for re-election. Though he will support E. Warren.

I am not a fan of DC gossip books, but the excerpt in "The Obamas" about Michelle not happy with the way the WH handled the special election to replace Uncle Ted is interesting, (if true?)

This won't stop Senator Kerry for putting on the skates, he will just probably want to have some extra protection!

That is good if they have used the Senator. He will probably do more in state campaigning (even though he, Al Franken are two of several pols with Gov. Patrick included in the Obamas campaign's celebrity wish list as surrogates). If Romney is the nominee, we will probably be hearing a lot from Patrick, given his knowledge of MA state politics and close relationship with the President. If Newt is nominated, we may (or not) hear from B. Clinton more.
