MBTA to DNC, "F.U."

This is like breaking into a house, beating the homeowner, kicking his dog, and then asking if he has any iced tea.
BOSTON (AP) The head of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority quickly rejected a request by the state's congressional delegation to provide free subway service during the Democratic National Convention.

U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy and the state's 10 congressmen all Democrats made the request in a letter sent Friday to MBTA general manager Michael Mulhern and Boston 2004 president David Passafaro, asking them to make subways free in downtown Boston during the four-day convention in July.
You'd expect more class from someone like Ted Kennedy.

Oh wait...never mind, the industrial shoe adhesive fumes seem to be dissipating slightly. I'm much better now. And on second thought, this is like asking Mr. Kopechne if he's got five bucks on him 'cause Mary Jo had said she'd pay for gas.
