Apparently at the rally for Coakley, Obama went on a riff about Scott Brown driving around Massachusetts in his truck. Here's the Althouse write-up. He tossed in this:... I'd think long and hard about getting in that truck with Martha's opponent. (Laughter.) It might not take you where you want to go.... Now you'll have to tell me if I've got an unusually wicked mind, because the first thing I thought of was the dangers of getting into Senator Kennedy's car. In which case, the best you can take away from this for Coakley is that maybe she's Kennedy's designated driver.
But actually if you read the longer riff, it's implying that Scott Brown's an unknown and, well, you shouldn't get into a car with a stranger. And that made me think of the Amiraults, who were prosecuted on made-up child sexual abuse charges. You know, even after Gerald Amirault's innocence was established, Martha Coakley sought to keep him in prison.
That's progress for Massachusetts Democrats: Teddy Kennedy leaves an innocent girl in a sinking car. Martha Coakley tries to leave an innocent man rotting away in prison.
