Martha Coakley on Curt Schilling: “Another Yankee Fan!”

Oh, dear God. The story of this campaign is starting to read like a Democratic strategist’s Book of Job. On a sports radio station yesterday, Democratic senatorial candidate Martha Coakley dismissed Curt Schilling as a “Yankee fan.”

Schilling is a Red Sox legend, who pitched in the 2004 American League Championship Series with a bloody sock, and who’s backing Scott Brown.

Schilling: “Never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn’t know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could.”
