That's a joke, right? This from the state that sends two fools to the Senate every term.

I saw a Deb Goldberg (Lt. Gov. candidate last year) sticker on a vehicle yesterday.

It's threads like these that expose the vast right wing depression his wife suffers from. By the way, did anyone notice that she is not going to cut back from her work at Ropes and Grey? And does she still need a $72K a year social secretary to tell people she is not available for all those speaking engagements?

Cadillac Patrick and his ship of fools are running the state. He may need that state helicopter to flee the state after he is run out of office.

Since every step he's made has been negative, how do you go lower than zero?

If a Governor is running for re-election all that counts is the perception the voters have 6 months prior to the election,and through the run up to the election.

For a presidential run it is longer, about 10 months on up to the election is crucial. - tom

He is quite literally a limousine liberal.

And anyone who didn't realize that during the pre-election scamble is a damned fool. I don't begrudge him the taxpayer funded Caddy, or expensive curtains for his office, but the personal secretary for his wife and the reported phone calls to help a subprime mortgage company out, are an absolute outrage coming from someone who ran on a populist campaign.

His hypocrisy is off the scale. But then, he worked in the Clinton Justice Department, so that is not surprising.

What did he do?

It's more like what hasn't he done. Yet. Shorter list there.

Note to the majority of MA's voters: Talk about the definition of insanity...You all are the poster children.

And that's the method to their madness. They ship "Splash" and "Liveshot" to Washington to get them the he!! out of the state. Think of the damage Kerry could be doing if HE were the governor, instead of Coupe Deval.

At least Teddy would probably be living in his palace down in Florida, lining up more women for him and his nephew Willie.

This means less than nothing..particularly here in the Gay State.Coupe Deval doesn't face the voters again for 3.5 years.

Actually, voters in MA have written the book on abiding with dreadful politicians. Mr. Patrick is no different.

Massachusetts voters have this wonderful ability to vote for just the wrong person at the wrong time.

Take a look at the Commonwealth's Congressional delegation. Every single one of them is a moonbat. Not one would stand up to fight for this country, and they are champions of every wingnut political idea at large in the nation.

But, it doesn't stop with members of Congress.

The Great and General Court of the Commonwealth(the legislature) is one continental-sized political swamp. Good ideas go there to die.

I remember when Barney Frank was a state rep, he used to file a bill every session to repeal the sodomy laws in MA. Now there's a man of the people!

Massachusetts can boast of operating under the oldest, written constitution in the world. And once upon a time, it was an epicenter for freedom and justice that was a shining example to the nation and the world. But now, the voters, in their utter idiocy, have rendered this once proud political jurisdiction into an asylum of immorality and cultural suicide.

Always remember the new state motto of Massachusetts: "No outrage is too small, no tax is too big and no sacrifice is necessary."

Shame on Bay State voters. They have become what they have beheld.

We should start taking a closer look at the Lt. Governor.

We have a value-weighted Fool Quota System here. When Kennedy's liver finally blows, we shall unleash hoardes of the lesser ones, the minor petty crooks. It's the only way we can get them out of here, because once embedded in the system, they are like ticks..attached, and swelling, growing fat on the blood of the host.

Then maybe more states will enjoy the benefits of Big Digs. Think of all the unemployed drunks in other states who could be (kind of) working and paying union dues, and taxes, and accelerating the economy by selling steel looted from construction sites to junk dealers for export to China!

What an opportunity for others to run a multibillion Dollar parody of the WPA.

How about the caller to Howie Carr yesterday who said she was a liberal and a supporter of Patrick's and that the calls to Carr's show were too harsh on Patrick. When Carr brought up, the $72k taxpayer aide to Mrs. Patrick and how Patrick is cutting back on items such as library books in Braille, the caller ended the conversation by saying she moved from Massachusetts and lives "in another state." That is a moonbat!
