Politics: Heimleich Maneuver

Link from Instapundit: Here's a pretty humorous article about the friendship of John Kerry and former U.S. Sen. Chic Hecht (R-Nevada). Apparently Kerry stepped off an elevator in '88 to find a choking Hecht and successfully Heimlich'ed him. And there still seems to be some pleasant warmth.

This might sound weird, but it almost makes me feel good that John McCain can be such good friends w/ Kerry and still plug for Bush. It gives me hope that there is some humanity in politics. That these are human beings with real opinions and real psychology who are not just pawns of lobbyists and donors and get-the-vote ideologists.

That's a great story! :) Some things ARE more important than politics, thank God.
