Elias's report of Arlington Town Democratic Comittee's meetig with O'Reilly

[Mass]

Well, Elias is intelligent, so I had no doubt he would not be impressed by Ed O'Reilly's empty rants, but it is worth reading.

John Kerry's alleged rival for the democratic senatorial nomination appeared before the Arlington Town Democratic Comittee this evening.
He is to say the least very definite on one point, he is not and never shall be, John Forbes Kerry.
Other than that, and a few further-to-the-left-than-John Kerry brickbats there does not seem to be much to the guy by way of a program.
Citizen O'Reilly claimed, seemingly in one might exhalation that while he supported John Kerry in '02 and '04 he was simultaneously so repelled by the man's vote authorizing the Iraq war as to consider challenging JK in the 08' senatorial primary.
This did not prevent Ed O'Reilly from voting for John Kerry twice within a subsequent two year period.

Ralph Nader was right there in ought-four, Ed...why did you pass on him?
...
I don't think the upcoming State Convention should vote to put him on the ballot, he is unserious and driven by a futile purge-our-way-to-glory mentality.
More than that I will not say, indeed I cannot, I've already forgotten most of O'Reilly's remarks save his snide insinuating tone.

1. Wonderful!

In just a few words he sums EOR up (doesn't take too many to do that!) and writes him off at the same time. Beautifully done and exactly what needs to be said. Thanks so much for posting!

2. Elias is spot-on, as usual

I also hope that EOR doesn't get on the ballot. I'm not against contested elections, but EOR doesn't deserve to be there.
