...revelry. Don’t get me wrong: I love Cambridge. But let’s face it, the closest an average Harvard student gets to enjoying wine is guzzling a seven-dollar magnum of Yellowtail, which might as well be packaged in a box with a plastic pour spout...

Priour ’09 is definitely the show’s darling as the shy and hickish cowboy with his ceaseless spout of “Mama says.” His exaggerated western drawl, slouched walk, and eager country boy expressions are indisputably the icing of the show.

Of course, regrettable as this was, at least Wellstone, who had defined himself by his liberalism, was irrevocably tied in many people’s minds to partisan politics. Mrs. King, on the other hand, should serve as a nonpartisan example of the power one has to effect...
