Exhausted, confused and extremely frightened, Owen immediately ran to the safety of a giant tortoise when we released him in Haller Park. Mzee, our 130 year old tortoise, just happened to be nearby and he was very surprised by Owen’s odd behavior cowering behind him as a baby hippo does to its mother. Mzee quickly came to terms with his new friend and even returned signs of affection. The unusual relationship between this baby hippo and the ancient tortoise amazed people the world over and has featured in most countries on television and in news papers.
What is the moral of this story for Massachusetts politics?
UPDATE: Wikipedia has the backstory here, and Owen and Mzee’s official website (of course, although sadly no blog) is here.

If you have a large butt, find someone bigger to stand behind when the cameras are rolling?

That was the story of the day in 2005.
Still very cute, though.
As long as you've got a thick shell, you can work with anyone...
