Reminds me of the running bit on Stargate SG-1 in which O'Neill routinely taunts a particularly oily Jaffa at each meeting: "Still failing upward, I see..."
Amorello is a true hack without any visible capabilities or common sense, whose entire career has been in running from one failed public job to another. That said, Romney and Amorello truly dispise one another and are like two male cats stuffed into a sack.
p.s. The Big Dig is an utter disaster. Badly built for
700% the approved cost, it has created an army of contractors with Italian surnames who have become multi-millionaires, having yachts custom-built in Britian, 35-room houses built in Southboro, MA, while putting their kids through St. Mark's (the country's most expense private school at $40,000 per year).
The Big Dig is already collapsing, and with the El gone, leaves Boston with no workable road system. Couldn't happen to a better state.
