Pathetic. Coakley Says She Was Joking About Curt Schilling Being a Yankee Fan
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, January 17, 2010, 10:24 AM
You lie.
Here’s the conversation this week on “Nightside With Dan Rea,” where Martha Coakley called Boston Red Sox great Curt Schilling a Yankees fan.
How embarrassing.
It was so bad that Curt Schilling wrote on his blog, “I’ve been called a LOT of things… But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan.”
Yesterday, Coakley tried to explain away her Boston baseball faux pas.
The Boston Herald reported:
“It was a joke, and probably not the best,” Coakley said after an afternoon rally in Melrose. “I don’t pretend to be the best joke teller in the world.”
Ridiculous.
It Martha Coakley is going to lie about Curt Schilling and baseball what’s going to stop her from lying about health care, or terrorism or Scott Brown’s record on rape victims?
Of course, you don’t have to be a baseball fan to know the answer to that question.
More… Jules Crittenden has the latest from Massachusetts.

What is she going to tell us next….?
That she actually tried to defend John McCormack when her paid goon was attacking him ?
“I tried to stop it but those men were too big. I actually recommended that he be prosecuted because I am an Attorney General of course and believe in the law.”
Bruce commented:
This woman is a sleaze.
TaSS commented:
She’s a liar and basically she hopes that
Massachusett(e)s voters are uninformed.
The NY Daily News said it best when they said maybe she thinks Red Sox fans just don’t vote.
She could have just admitted she doesn’t know much about baseball. I’m sure people would have accepted that more then the lie.

Eric commented:
Years in the future when people are calling idiot comments by politicians Jokely statements will it be a reference to her bad humor, or her senate campaign.
Dell commented:
We’ve been anxiously awaiting her excuse…and her excuse is a JOKE! If you listen to her speak, there is NO ONE who will ever believe that she was cracking a joke.
Not even a “nice try” on this one. Blatant lie!
Nahanni commented:
The stench of desperation out of Martha Coakley and the Corruptocrats is getting so thick you need a chainsaw to get through it.
down with dems commented:
Excellent point – if she’s willing to lie about something minor (like confusing a player’s baseball team) just to get elected, what will she lie about once elected and in power?
It clearly wasn’t a joke. After she said it and got called on it, she said “all right, I’m wrong”. The joke excuse is just CYA after the fact.
If she’s that bad at “telling a joke”, how bad will she be at legislating???
Hedgehog commented:
Like Obama, Coakley needs a teleprompter to keep from looking like a fool. I wonder if Obama remembered to bring his along. He probably has a seperate SUV and a staff of union flunkies to haul his around, wire it up and make sure it doesn’t run too fast.
MainStreet commented:
Again, it is all about TRUST! Obama, that other very TRUSTworthy person, is campaigning for Coakley this afternoon.
Taking money from the DC lobbyists, having Obama and SEIU in for help, and keeping innocent people in jail; not the person I would TRUST.
antisocialist commented:
I heard the audio for the first time this morning – wasn’t a “joke”, the host gave her three tries to fix her statement and she still didn’t do it. Now THAT’S a joke.

It shows what it’s going to be like her in Ma. for the next two days. She and her thugs are going to use every dirty trick they can to derail Scott Brown. She even has to bring Barry in from his lonely office at the White house to save her sinking campaign. The one good bit of news is that the number of absentee ballots has never been higher. I think that shows that the people were paying attention and made sure their vote would be counted. The revolution starts here on Jan. 19th, 2010.
Daniel commented:
What a joke of an AG is Coakley.
jim from cleveland commented:
I’ve heard several commentators, including Limbaugh, suggest this woman is stupid. She certainly appears to be. The question now, perhaps, is whether she’s more or less stupid than Barbara Boxer.
Of course, if she loses, the point will be moot.
Massachusettes, please save the country.
MochaLite commented:
C’mon, Massachusetts, give us a real senator! Coakley wasn’t joking – she didn’t know what she was talking about. I don’t fault her for not knowing baseball details, but this is no detail!! She doesn’t know her own state.
Chris Vehr commented:
Just act like you’re a baseball fan. Doesn’t matter that you know nothing about the Red Sox recent history, it’s just a sport that the peasants like to follow. Act, act, act and some may believe you
This time you stepped in it lady.
