I held a sign for Bill Weld at a busy intersection in Melrose, MA when he was running against John Silber for governor of Massachusetts.
I am so ashamed of that now.
Silber was the better man. A former left-winger who grew up. Slick Willie Weld the Lush never grew up.
I wouldn’t worry about it.
You didn’t have a crystal ball, and also hindsight is 20/20 as the saying goes.
It’s what we do now that matters.
I am so ashamed of that now.
Voting for Bill Weld was my biggest political mistake. Yeah, Silber was a Democrat. But he knew how to get things done. Somehow, I don't think he would have put Margaret Marshall in the Supreme court. It would have delayed the homofascists agenda.
