Hugh Hewitt reports that Kerry, burnishing his credentials among the comman man, took pains to quote the score of the first two World Series games. You know, the ones with his home-town Red Sox playing. Unfortunately, he got the score of both games wrong, citing game 1 as "10-9" twice (it was 11-9), and game 2 as "7-1" (actually 6-2).
His excuse?
Mr Kerry’s spokesman, David Wade, said the senator got the score wrong because 10-9 was the last update he got during his late-night flight to Florida.Plausable, perhaps, had the last two runs not come on a 2-run homer:
Mark Bellhorn's two-run homer with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning lifted the Red Sox to a wild 11-9 triumph...What a moron. I guess this is another Kerry foul-up to blame on his staff.
But at least Mr. Kerry knows HIS Sox won in the fourth quarter. :)
