Barney Frank! He's obviously a traitor but has never shown an inclination toward drunkeness or womanizing.

The Deval would be kind of cool. He and his wife could have a couple breakdowns, and skip work a few weeks at a time. If they’re going to appoint a lockstep liberal ‘Rat, pick a really bad one, IMHO.

Word here is that 1)Teddy’s plea will be granted by the state legislature and 2)that Coupe Deval,our anything but beloved Governor...whose approval rating is about 20% (honest to God)...will appoint *himself*,thus possibly avoiding the electoral disaster that almost certainly awaits him in a second run for Governor.

“Where exactly are we supposed to find a suitable replacement for a drunk, womanizing, homicidal, traitor to his country?”

Camped out under bridges in most urban areas.

Has a governor ever appointed himself like that before. It strike me as kind of tyrannical, but 'Rats don't care as long as they feel good.

"Shame" is a word that Massachusetts RATS can't even *spell* let alone experience.

This is for Ted:

You spineless, shameless blowhard ...

Back when you ACTUALLY thought that Kerry would win, you could NOT stand the thought of Romney appointing a Pubbie to serve the last 4 years of the term ...

Who knows ??? The Pubbie might have served well enough to get elected in 2008 ???

BUT NO !!! You COULDN’T have that ...

So you ginned up a reason to have the MA legislature enact a law taking away the Governor’s right to choose a replacement ...

Your “purported” reasoning was that the PEOPLE should choose - but it was really to keep a governor of the opposition party from appointing a Pubbie ...

But you fu*ked up - and now you realize it !!!

You were ok that the new law provided a 5 month delay before a special election was held - until you got sick ...

Now that you are terminal, you realize that you MIGHT NOT be there to cast a vote and see your name go on the healthcare bill ...

So - you want a DO-OVER !!!

Why, people may ask ???

Because you realize that the DEMS MIGHT come up 1 vote short IF it EVER comes to that and IF you have gone to your just reward (down below, below) ...

You ALSO realize that after the 1st of the year - Congress AIN’T gonna touch it with the elections around the corner ...

You ALSO realize that there PROLLY WON’T be enough of a DEM majprity in Congress to pass it after the 2010 elections and on to 2012 ...

And, you ALSO realize that Obama is LIKELY to blow it and NOT get re-elected (at least by the way he is going now) ...

After that, if the GOP wins in 2012 - the “Kennedy” Healthcare Law may very well be the “Grassley” Healthcare Law ...

AND you can’t stand it ...

You, Sir, are no better than a piece of dogsh*t on the sidewalk that your honorable brothers would go out of their way to step around ...
