“[Martha Coakley] is so tone deaf that she made fun of her opponent for standing outside Fenway Park shaking hands ‘in the cold,’” says noted right-winger . . . Gail Collins, columnist for the New York Times.

More from Collins:

One of his daughters — this is perhaps the best-known factoid in the campaign — came in somewhere between 13th and 16th on “American Idol.”
“For our family, especially me being on ‘Idol’ but my dad being in politics, there are always so many people who have something negative to say,” Ayla Brown told The Boston Herald this week. Her talent was singing, not sentence construction.

Yes, that’s an excellent use of some of the most valuable real estate in print journalism, mocking a candidate’s daughter for lousy sentence construction while speaking off-the-cuff. Bravo, Gail Collins; your Pulitzer surely awaits.
