Had remembered a sports story about a Nashville Predator hockey players being in rehab (in TN), and all footage they showed was him fighting the opposing player. DD (Dear Dad) ask was he the "Enforcer?" Not knowing much about hockey, I said guess so. So after thinking about O's pun, Googled the words "hockey, enforcer," and those words popped up. Didn't know until recently, one of my cousins from Detroit, now a fireman, used to play hockey, so he still follows the Red Wings team.

It is very possible he did not like the joke and gave a forced grin and a frown. (He was surrounded by Kerry, Leahy, and somebody?) A pol who has had nothing but softball stories about him the last two years is thin-skinned? And uses the "liberal media" as a scapegoat? Interesting..

The "My bad" comes from be because it may seem like there has been more ranting from me than reading facts. Still do that alot, but a work in progress. (Guess it is because I like both dudes.

Agree that Kerry and Obama have done similar things, and it is going to more important for Obama, since he is the one that has to be re-elected, but for him and Dems to make sure the GOP continues to get the blame, and Newtie, Mittens, and Ricky (ok Pauly too) politically destroy each other before the general election. While it won't be a slam dunk, it is important to just spread the word of what the President (and the Pelosi-led Congress) have accomplished in contrast to the gridlock, dysfunctional (Boehner-led Congress; McConnell minority Senate).

Amazed that the Senator can take this all in stride in the midst of the silly season of politics.
