THE First Rule of Holes goes this way: When you're in one, stop digging. Yesterday, Governor Patrick finally put his shovel down. He and state Senator Marian Walsh met the press outside his office, where Walsh announced that she wouldn't take the job as assistant executive director at the Massachusetts Health and Educational Facilities Authority (HEFA). Her withdrawal, the second exercise in damage control in recent days over the controversial, administration-engineered appointment, was done with the usual thank-yous and regrets and attempts at face-saving. Still, the political pit Patrick dug for himself on this one reaches halfway to China. Certainly this episode demolishes the notion that the governor has finally acquired a working political antenna. If this farce had a title, it would be: The Gang That Couldn't Keep Its Story Straight.

Just where Governor "Dowlow" REALLY wants to be diggin.
I heard today that Walsh’s sister is a six-figure hack also.
What is her sister’s name?
Also supposedly her son and daughter are on the public dole
Sorry, I missed it. Heard about her on the car radio.
They were speculating that it may have been why she backed away from her job, to save the spotlight from shining on the rest of her hack family.
There was a lot of posts on the Boston Globe site defending her appointment. I assume it was family members.
Her husband is in a no-show job with the state industrial accidents department at $113,000. He is also collecting a $100,000 a year pension.
She was campaigning for a judgeship until up to a year ago.
After yesterday's press conference I can surmise that even the moonbats determined that she was way under-qualified to be a judge.
She turns 55 next year so there has to be some reason as to why she needs this raise now to enhance her pension.
Howie Carr is investigating the pensionalogy of this case.
“After yesterday’s press conference I can surmise that even the moonbats determined that she was way under-qualified to be a judge.”
From what little I saw, I was stunned she got as far as she has.
Compared to my state Senator I would say she’s working at about the right position.
Sad but true.
Two queens meeting today in London.
...pensionalogy - LOL!
