Milking Cows

Shailagh Murray:

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Hopefully Ted Kennedy isn’t the jealous type, because it looks like Barack Obama has a new best friend: Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania.

Their weekend road show across the Keystone State stopped at factories, hot dog stands, sports bars and bowling alleys, where the two kept score as “Bar” and “Bob.” The freshmen senators played basketball, milked cows in matching new Timberland boots, and shared the stage here Sunday at Penn State University before 22,000 cheering fans.

Something about the image of Bob Casey and Barack Obama milking cows in matching Timberland boots just cracks me up.
