I’ve met both Mass. senators. Politically, not much difference, but personally…

Met Kerry when I was in law school and was working at a wine shop on Beacon Hill. Frequently served his wife, who is very charming. He came in once and treated me like dirt. In addition, he had me deliver several cases of wine to his mansion and tipped me zero dollars.

Met Kennedy at a “time” for some local politician (not sure if that’s a local expression or not). Anyway, I ended up at the bar next to the senior senator. He was very personable and funny. I liked him.

Very interesting. It’s the difference between true class and the pretension to class.
