FMJRA Thursday, the "can Martha Coakley spell potato" edition

If Martha Coakley does manage to win next week's special senatorial election in Massachusetts she'll outrank Al Franken as the biggest clown in Washington DC. Why? Let me count the ways! First Pat Austin reports that Coakley said there were no more terrorists in Afghanistan.

Pundette then notes that Coakley's campaign aired a TV commercial which spelled "Massachusetts" incorrectly! (Meet Martha Coakley and the Massachusettes!) You'd think that someone running for office in a state would at least know how to spell the name of that state. Lance wonders if she can spell "potato". She doesn't have to know that; it's not one of the requirements for office laid out in the Constitution.

And even I know that you just don't diss Red Sox fans in Boston!

It's almost as if Coakley believes it's her divine right to ascend to "The Kennedy Seat". Except of course, that it's not hers, or anyone else's, by birthright. Scott Brown whacked her good with his retort — "it's the people's seat" — and The Daley Gator says it's a game changer.

Proving that Coakley sees herself as "above the fray", a DSCC staffer shoved a Weekly Standard reporter to the ground in full view of Coakley and she just kept walking. Even if she's "not privy to the facts" or mistakenly believed the reporter tripped and fell, wouldn't anyone with an ounce of compassion pause to ask if he was OK? Not Martha Coakley! She couldn't be bothered caring about someone who isn't handing her bags of cash dressed up like campaign contributions.

Just to be on the safe side, scientists from Boston College have managed to tag Coakley with an RFID chip so unsuspecting reporters can know where she is at all times and stay out of her way.

So Big Cat, is that enough Coakley news to keep you satisfied? (He asked in the comments to another post why I hadn't devoted enough "ink" to the Coakley - Brown race. Truthfully I didn't think I had to since my blog friends have done an admirable job, as the linkage above conclusively proves.)

If you want more coverage, Bob Belvedere is all over the Martha Coakley trainwreck. He's even "uncovered" some old photos of Scott Brown nude, which according to Mrs. Belvedere makes Brown a shoo-in for womens' vote.
