That’s the same Charles P. Pierce who writes for the Boston
Globe Magazine, who penned a paean to Ted Kennedy that was outright
embarrassing, ending with the words, “Mary Jo Kopechne would have
been 68, and Ted Kennedy would have taken care of her in her old
age.” And he apparently thought this was some sort of compliment.
Pierce is one of the more unbearably ambitious leftist
characters, has got himself a pretty regular slot on NPR’s “Wait,
Wait, Don’t Tell Me,” a current events quiz show that spends a lot
of time bashing George W. Bush in whatever terms are fashionable.
It’s on Saturdays at noon here in the Boston area, and I recommend
it for insight into what liberals are really thinking, and how they
are really behaving.
