Even as Gov. Deval Patrick was brushing off criticism he’s been off stumping for President Obama amid the state drug lab scandal and the deadly meningitis outbreak traced to a state licensed pharmacy, the FDA warned yesterday that other drugs produced by the Framingham compounding company could be tainted with the lethal disease.

Governor Obama-Lite Patrick is off serving his master on the campaign trail while Massachusetts drug labs are running amok.

"The terrifying fungal meningitis outbreak has infected 214 people in 15 states, including four in New Hampshire. The death toll is 15."

Good grief!

I’ve long thought that the way to a healthy long life is to avoid visiting doctors as much as possible.

My conservative Massachusetts friends (in western Mass. of course) call him “Devil Patrick.”

Deval wants a high level cabinet job.

I think you're on to something.

People in 15 states (so far) have been killed by a contaminated treatment for back pain originating from a single lab in MA. I bet a lot of people will decide to suck it up and endure the pain now that the lack of oversight and quality assurance has been exposed.
