From the local Bay State Bombast, part of the Political Shorts feature written by alert BMG reader (and Leno writer) Ben Alper for the OnlineOffbeat.com site:
Three things to watch for in tomorrow’s Boston Marathon …
When congratulating the winners, will Mayor Menino be provided with Kenyan, Ethiopian, and English translators?
Will Gov. Deval Patrick watch the race on TV while exercising on his treadmill, thus allowing him to devote a chapter in his upcoming book to “the time I ran in the Boston Marathon.”
Will the runners who finish the marathon vomit as much as the marchers who finish the St. Patrick’s Day Parade?
From Dan Kurtzman’s Political Humor Blog:
“Bush was on ‘Deal or No Deal.’ Apparently he didn’t feel he was ready for ‘Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?'” –David Letterman
“Hillary, very confident, says she is ready for the 3 a.m. phone call, and McCain says he is ready for the 3 p.m. nap.” –David Letterman
“No one talks about John McCain anymore because he won his side of the thing, and now he’s just wandering around. … So he’s trying to do things to get press, this week John McCain is on a tour of what he calls ‘Forgotten Places in America.’ Forgotten places, yeah. Which, at his age, means just about everywhere.” –Conan O’Brien
“Hillary was so happy, and you could see it in her face, she was thrilled during the victory celebration. Here’s how happy she was, she even let Bill bring a date.” –David Letterman

…letterman and o’brien are still using their (oh! so clever!) DNC substitute writers.
