Faint praise

Every weekend, the Times of Trenton has a "Hits and Misses" editorial, reviewing news bits from the week. From today's (which I can't find online):

HIT: Republican U.S.Senate candidate Tom Kean Jr's achievement in actually attending his own fund-raising event Tuesday whiel the guest speaker, First Lady Laura Bush, was present. In fact, Kean was early by a couple of hours. In March, the candidate somehow was unable to get to a Newark fund-raiser in time to greet and be photographed with Vice President Dick Cheney, a figure far less popular with New Jersey voters than Mrs. Bush.

That's the way, Junior! Lower expectations and keep your name in the press by not managing to fail at the most basic duties. (Hey, it worked for W in 2000...)

For me, "teh" means I typed too fast and blew it, and forgot to go back and spellcheck. :)

EVERYBODY had a field day with his excuse. I don't know which would be worse- that he dodged Cheney, whose poll numbers are worse than rotten in Our Fair State, or that he really had no idea that Rt. 1 traffic was that bad at rush hour.
