Embarrassing media gushing as Massachusetts inaugurates first female, first openly gay governor with ‘all-female leadership team’

You’d almost think, based on the media coverage in Boston, that the Messiah had showed up in the Massachusetts State House to be inaugurated as governor, not Maura Healey. Despite the inability of Supreme Court Justice Brown Jackson to be sure what a woman is, the media are trumpeting the “Historic Day” and just can’t stop congratulating Bay State voters on their wisdom in electing her, with extra special bonus points for her being a lesbian. These screengrabs from WBZ-TV, CBS Boston complete with "Historic Day" plastered over the video and smug grins from the talking heads express the masturbatory pleasure in seeing their agenda realized.

And for extra- extra-special bonus points, she had her inaugural party at the Boston Garden with a famous lesbian activist singer, 5-time Grammy winner Brandi Carlile performing. Can you savor the glamour?

If you can only stand one gushing piece, check out the Boston Globe’s non-paywalled coverage reprinted in MSN.com:

Funny, I remember when Alaska inaugurated a female governor who, like Healey, had been a point guard in women’s basketball in school, and there was nary a ripple of positive media coverage of her, even (actually, especially) when she exploded on the national scene as a vice presidential nominee. Of course, Sarah Palin didn’t go to Harvard the way Healey did, and she was emphatically heterosexual, a mother, and unreservedly expressed her attraction to her husband. Most of all, she was a Republican.

But if the media keep forcing lesbian chic on me and celebrating the exclusion of males from her administration, it won’t be easy for me to regard her favorably.

“Any guesses on how this matriachy will turn out?”

Since it is unlikely that any of them isn’t generally delusional and all of them likely gods in their own mind, really really bad.

You forgot to note that the first transsexual governor in America was elected in Massachusetts.

Charlie Baker, the outgoing governor, used to be named Karen Baker. This news broke when Covid gripped the state.

Yeah, I remember about 10 years ago when Oakland had an “all-female” triumvirate of Mayor, Chief of Police and Fire Chief (or maybe building inspector, can’t recall), and then had an illegal hippie crash pad building burn down during a rave party and kill 30-some people.

Then there is the all-female Scandinavia, which has now become the muslim immigration and rape capital of the Western world...

Then there was that all-female team of engineers who built a pedestrian bridge over a traffic artery at a Florida university, which collapsed...

Emotional or sexual identity is not in and of itself a criterion for good leadership. Sheesh.

There’s some “diversity” for you right there.
