Turnpike Authority drops publicist
Firm had worked for anti-Kerry group

By Frank Phillips, Globe Staff  |  December 11, 2004

The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, facing the wrath of state Democratic leaders, yesterday canceled the contract of a Washington, D.C., public relations firm that during the presidential campaign worked for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group that attacked John F. Kerry's Vietnam war record.

.....

In a statement that reflects the deep bitterness about the swift boat group's tactics, a Kerry spokesman blasted the decision to hire Russell and his firm, calling it ''just the latest breathtakingly stupid decision by the Republicans in charge of the Big Dig."

Kerry has out Nixon'ed Nixon as far as keeping and using an "Enemies List".

Nixon only wished he could do what Kerry already has.

Kerry had better keep a low profile as it is never soon enough to start planning a senatorial campaign. There are a lot of people out there that still harbor ill feelings towards Kerry and would contribute $$ in a heartbeat.

"It was a irresponsible and untruthful campaign to destroy John Kerry's reputation with lies and distortions about his military record,"

Call me a nitpicker but exactly what ies and distortions were promulgated by the Swift-Vets?

. . .The Left can outdo any Repub when it comes to 'taking care' of those they have little use for. . .be it retribution or just for political convenience. . .

These Dems are loathesome people. . .to the max.

I wish this was duly noted by every news outlet. . .and not on a weekend.

The big dig is the highway, bridge, tunnel, and railway contruction through Boston. It is starting to have problems already and is several BILLIONS over budget.

The Big Dig is the largest "public works" project in history. About $15 billion to put underground many of the roads through downtown Boston. Unfortunately, the tunnels are leaking water like sieves.

Do a Google, and realize that much of the money came from the federal government, i.e. you and your fellow taxpayers.

''Do they have so little respect for Massachusetts taxpayers that they believe the answer to years of waste, fraud, and abuse is to lavish more taxpayer money on a discredited partisan hack to spin the Big Dig?"

That is a typically confusing statement by a typically confused DemocRAT. Is he opposed to the fraud, waste and abuse incurred by The Big Dig or his he opposed to the idea that Republicans should be allowed to criticize The Big Dig as being fraught with waste, fraud and abuse?

I'm not from that region so I can only go with what I've heard and read about The Big Dig. In short, it was an effort to build underground roadways to ease Boston's traffic problems. I'm not sure if they're even done with it. It might still be going on.

I'm not going to *sweat* it. However, it would be *sweet* if Kerry just went away sailing in the Caribbean on his wife's and taxpayer $200k allowance for life.
