Commitment: Sen. John Kerry Shows Up At Hockey Event With Black Eyes And Broken Nose

Sen. John Kerry, representing the state of Massachusetts, showed up at an event honoring the Stanley Cup-winning Boston Bruins on Monday sporting two black eyes and a swollen nose. Appropriately, Kerry suffered the injuries while playing the sport being honored:

“He’s totally fine,” Kerry spokeswoman Whitney Smith told ABC News, “Very ironically he busted his nose recently playing ice hockey, so the Bruins can certainly relate.”

Smith wouldn’t comment on who hit Kerry with a stick across the face (in a game with friends and family over the holidays), but she did snarkily tell The Boston Globe that, “he must feel like Mitt Romney after South Carolina.”
