I’M SICK OF IT!!! Why don’t they stop the games and defund the refuge program? That’s what should’ve been done when the Tsarnov lads blew up the Boston Marathon finish line!

As “Little Dick” Daly once said:

Aug. 28, 2001, responding to a question about whether his family would have been the subject of increased scrutiny if his brother, Bill Daley, had continued his run for governor:

“Scrutiny? What else do you want? Do you want to take my shorts? Give me a break. How much scrutiny do you want to have? Go scrutinize yourself! I get scrutined (sic) every day, don’t worry, from each and every one of you. It doesn’t bother me.”
