Wistful Joanie...

Columnists all eventually run out of ideas and start recycling old themes at some point, unless of course they are fantasists a'la Mike Barnicle. Such is the case with Joan Vennochi's column today in which she clearly looks back in sentimental glee on the royal snarking she gave John Kerry back in campaign '04. Oh those were heady heady days for Ms. Vennochi, hardly a week went past when she didn't challenge our Junior Senator's manhood in some unsubtle fashion.
Clearly Joanie has an unhealthy thing about John Kerry. It is not hard to see why, he brings out the Junior High School Queen Bee in Columnist Vennochi, By Ghod I think he makes her feel young again!
Ah but you can't go back to simpler times now can you?
Joanie thinks she can though, which is why she is half-heartedly trying to gin up a primary challenger to John Kerry's re-election to the US Senate, she even has the effrontery to suggest Deval Patrick as a campaign model for anyone so disposed.
This would be the same Deval Patrick whom Joanie Vennochi wrote off as a loony-leftie loser the day after the democratic primary last September.
Nostalgia is sometimes a dangerous emotion, but honestly what else does Joan Vennochi give us? Other than her ongoing jihad against John Kerry just what does she really believe in? And WHO does she depend on to get it all tranposed in policy?
You got me on that one, she hates Kerry thats all I can figure out.
