4. Kicking a little smarmy elitist ass toinght!

Healy was the anti-average voter. Didn't want to recognize the Indy and Green candidates at the debates. She came across as the class warfare wench that she is.

Go DEval!

13. I was in Hyannisport for a fundraiser for Patrick

Ted Kennedy was lending Patrick maximum support. (It's always fun going to cookouts at the Kennedy compound)

15. You have cookouts with the Kennedys?

I'l like to rub your shoulders with mine.

Seriously, I would probably run from a Kennedy if I saw one. Men in suits frighten me.
