Mass. Governor Deval Patrick: I Got "Quite Drunk" After Marathon Bombing Manhunt
CBS News ^ | June 6, 2013

Posted on 06/06/2013 12:54:41 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick says he went to his rural home the day after the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect was captured and got "quite drunk" alone at a restaurant.

The Democrat made his comments Wednesday while visiting a Cambridge marketing firm.

Patrick says he was relieved that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured on April 19 because otherwise people would have been complaining about the "shelter in place" order he gave that day, locking down Boston and several suburbs.

Maggie Merelle, co-owner of the restaurant Rouge in West Stockbridge, told the Boston Herald that Patrick had a "glass of chardonnay or two" with dinner but wasn't drunk.

Merelle told the Herald that hosting the governor that evening made her feel "like an old Jewish mother feeding him. We just wanted to nourish him."

Patrick said he had no money and couldn't pay his bill. Merelle says he eventually settled his tab.

What if there had been a second follow up attack while the gubner was sh*t faced? Did Giuliani drink on the job during the 911 attack?

I am not a rich man, but I never leave home without enough cash to buy my dinner or a few drinks if I want them.

A fine example of leadership in an emergency.

I believe I remember Cheech calling it “Fussy Pu$$y.”

I could imagine if I was in his position doing the same thing. But as governor, he shouldn’t be so stupid as to admit this in public. What the hell is wrong with leftist black politicians? Damn near NONE of them have a clue how to play the game.

He plays the game quite well, trust me. There's more to this story and I'm sure it will come out in time. deval is very sneaky and corrupt just like HUSSEIN, that's why we call him "mini me". "rumor" has it deval is going to be the next AG if/when holder is ever thrown out of office. And trust me, he has several scandals of his own so he'd be a perfect fit for HUSSEIN's "transparent" administration.

Hobbit Ale?

Merelle told the Herald that hosting the governor that evening made her feel "like an old Jewish mother feeding him. We just wanted to nourish him."

Awwwww! So that's why he got elected! Vulnerability.

deval is a HUSSEIN clone, he'd lie, cover it up, blame a video.....you know how it goes.

He’s really good at playing Mister Nice Guy with his soft spoken voice. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.
