Senator Obama, we knew Jack Kennedy, and you, Senator, are--well, dude, you were two.
Or "Oh, now you've Kennedy-ed me....I'm shrinking."
But that really does hurt, HRC, and we feel your pain. But Uncle Ted, Joe Jr., Caroline--that's dirty touch football, sports!

Hands down. Still, ouch ouch. This is a street thing now, my fine fresh-faced friend. An Irish thing. Turn your glasses over. Whiskey! Hit us again! Another. Another. Ah, brace yourself, Brigit! Now...begin the new age, new frontier epic battle: Boston Lace-Curtain Irish v. Chicago Little Rock-Bubba Protestants. Irish up by one.

"I feel change in the air," Kennedy said in remarks salted with scarcely veiled criticism of Obama's chief rival for the nomination, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, as well as her husband, the former president.
"I have marveled at his grit and grace," he said of the man a full generation younger than he is.
