Q. What do Bob Kerrey and Bill Weld have in common?
They both spent the last year trying to pick up women in New York City bars?
I thought you meant Republican Congressman Mike Ferguson, who tried to pick up underage girls at a Georgetown party. "Ferguson ... grabbed her by the arm and pulled her towards him" -- 2003 WP article.
Mike Ferguson is gonna lose that Nebraska Senate race 4 sure now 
(PS: I can point out three significant mistakes within the first sentence alone.)
Please correct my mistakes (if there are any) rather than obliquely referencing them. The students were under the drinking age, the quote is accurate, the incident indeed occurred in 2003, and the article was, in fact, in the venerable Washington Post, not some yellow journalism rag like the Murdoch owned NY Post.
The incident you were referring to by quote involved (1) a 21-year-old; (2) happened at a bar; (3) needs the word "alleged;" and, I guess there's even a fourth mistake if you consider it has nothing to do with Nebraska.
On a different note, do you have any proof that Kerrey was cheating on his wife?
Nor do I have any proof that Bill Weld is picking up women in bars either. It was a joke.
I'd heard her age was 20, mea culpa on that point. The bar where the incident occurred is largely frequented by college students. While the wasn't a sign saying "No Lecherous Congressman Allowed," the Congressman's posse interrupted a group that was from a younger age bracket. How is it "alleged" when the Congressman acknowledged that he took off his pin when he saw this woman? Non sequitur =/= mistake
Thanks for clarifying a joke. Back to Nebraska news: NYT says Kerryis having second thoughts about a Senate bid. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/09/21/kerrey-is-still-mulling-a-senate-run/
Still, underaged is assumed to be "under 18" here in the states.
And I heard about Kerrey—can't blame him. This thing just went from a slam dunk to an uphill climb with Johanns.
Well, in Oregon, a state that led the way on recycling and death with dignity, underage means under 21. I'm proud to laud the virtues of life in the Beaver State. Frankly, I feel lucky to live in a place where skyscrapers are dwarfed by Douglas Firs and a person is more likely to be mauled by a Bigfoot than injured while playing squash with a business partner.
