Martha Antoinette Coakley blunders again: Calls Red Sox great Curt Schilling “Yankees fan”

Martha Antoinette (Photoshop credit: Ruby Slippers)
Lots of readers e-mailing tonight about Martha Antoinette Coakley’s latest gaffetastically gaffetastic blunder. In attacking New Yorker Rudy Giuliani’s campaigning for GOP challenger Scott Brown, Coakley tries to lump Boston Red Sox great Curt Schilling (who blogged about Coakley’s loser campaign the other day) as a Yankees fan, too.
You’ll get a chuckle out of the interviewer WBZ host/veteran Boston journalist Dan Rea’s disbelief — and Coakley’s lame attempt to take back the clueless insult. Crikey, can you imagine if Sarah Palin had said this?!:
I said tonight on the Glenn Beck Show that out-of-touch careerist Martha’s tongue will be her ultimate undoing. She keeps proving it…every hour! After dissing Catholic medical professionals, Fenway Park sports fans, and baseball legends, there’s not much lower you can go.
Well, actually, just wait another hour. She’ll find a way…
Attention, Saturday Night Live: Martha Antoinette Coakley is comedy gold. Who will you get to play her?
One more thing, SNL: Let Curt Schilling do a cameo!

Psst, Martha: Just in case you didn’t know, Boston’s Paul Revere was on America’s side, not Britain’s.

“This isn’t about “baseball IQ”. It’s about elitism and arrogance. It’s not the voters or interviewer who brought up baseball, it was Coakley. And not only did she strike out, she managed to somehow get hit by her own pitch!”
That’s good.
Running for Senate in MA, bringing up baseball, and dissing Schilling as a Yankees fan would be like running for Senate against John Glenn, bringing up the 60’s space race, and saying John Glenn was a fan of the Russians beating us to the moon.
I knew John Glenn. And Mrs. Coakley, she is no John Glenn.
Just to clear something up; several people have brought up and discussed the McCain campaign’s use of certain songs, like Heart’s Barracuda, and the issue of copyright infringement as compared to the Coakley campaign’s legal trouble with UPS for copyright infringement.
I’m a musician, and have had to learn about what is involved in licensing of intellectual property, as well as what constitutes ‘fair use’.
And the bottom line is that the McCain campaign paid the copyright holder a fee that granted them permission to play Barracuda at their events, and I think they did the same with the others. Heart didn’t hold the copyright to the song anymore, so the band’s objection is moot – and they did get royalties from the licensing fee that the McCain campaign paid out.
Coakley got no such permission from UPS to use their image in campaign ads, so it’s an entirely different issue.
There is a difference between a licensing fee for use in live performance (like a baseball game or campaign rally) and for use in an advertisement (like the Coakley situation). McCain may have had the rights to use a particular song during a live performance, but they also had several instances of using a song without permission in campaign ads. John Mellencamp sued McCain and the GOP for this and the campaign was forced to pull a video posted to youtube, which used Frankie Valli songs without any permission.
McCain = past/history and he made the correction/paid up/or whatever.
Coakley = present. The extent to which this issue is resolved will be interesting.
Then why is he campaigning for Coakley?
Raising taxes with rising unemployment is a great way to get knocked out of office.
You really expect us to believe that he did zero lobbying over there? Obama is alobbying mogul to the rest of the world, mostly in terms of apologizing like someone suffering from white guilt.
Of course, as a liberal, any criticism of Obama you hear makes the skeptic a hater or a racist. But I’d rather have someone who hates government (or a particular office thereof) than someone who follows it blindly.
BTW, how’s that “hope and change” working out for you?
“I guess that’s what you call a football.”
It doesn’t make any sense – probably because it’s wrong.
Are you claiming that no artist had any management rights of any copyright McCain used during his campaign?
Curt and Martha, (aka Marcia), were invited on FNC this morning – only Curt showed up. At the end of the piece he was asked if he had any parting words for Martha:
