With the return of Congress, two things happened... First, President Obama got to do the usual White House visits for the winning sports teams, as both the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Bruins stopped by... Secondly, we get to see what the Congressmembers were doing while on vacation. Both crossed paths this week.
Since the Bruins are from Baaahston, the local delegates stop by for photo ops. One of the attendees was Senator John Kerry, and he was sporting on hell of a set of black eyes... Apparently, the Senator was back home, taking part in a pickup ice hockey game. Hockey is a tough game, and not everyone should be playing it - especially old guys. There's a reason people retire from sports - they get effed up. Kerry was no different....
Yeah, Kerry got Swiftboated all right (sorry!) - right in nose. I caught a knee there once when I was a kid... It sounded and felt like getting hit with a 2x4. My nose gushed blood everywhere, although it didn't break. Then again, I don't have a big chickenhawk nose like Kerry... His broke, along with the usual pair of accompanying black eyes. Word is, Teresa Heinz Kerry used $100 bills to wipe up the blood, but we can't confirm that....
Another great side story that day was the no show of Bruin goalie Tim Thomas at the White House. Why? He said it was no offense to Barack Obama in particular, but to DC on the whole. Thomas, like most of America, thinks that government spending is out of control. So, in protest of Washington, he skipped the ceremony. And they say hockey players are stupid... At least not compared to Senators, they're not!
