>>Meehan's 2006 year-end fundraising report showed a $5.1 million balance, the largest of any House member nationwide.
Millionaire Mahhhty, Martin T(aliban) Meehan...was hoping Kerry would win Pres. so he could run for his Senate seat
Mass moonbat Gov Deval Patrick would appoint another
moonbat in his place should Meehan indeed accept the
job offer.
(which he apparently has...)_
Howie Carr calls him Osama bin Meehan for his knee-jerk crticism of the President delaying his return to DC on 9/11.
Hey, Marty, get us a sandwich. Hey, Marty, get us a coffee.
(get the hell out of office and let someone else have a run, you arrogant ****)
Like the woman congo that everybody expected to run again, but the last day for filing, her son strolls into the state office just before closing and files his papers. She, of course, then announced she wasn't running...
Ain't going to happen with you at the helm.
I suppose that he's going to always provide a fallback school for the Kennedys. They're having a very hard time getting into good schools for a while, money or not.
During his seven-plus terms in Congress.
Marty is a weasel. When he first ran ,his big platform theme was term limits. He said that he would do two terms then out.
This pig keeps feeding at the public trough.
Good for Howie! Meehan really distinguished himself by launching personal attacks on the President before there had been any revelation of the steps the Secret Service had employed in keeping the President safe during the period immediately following the attacks. He has probably the most severe case of BDS of any member of congress...though he does have lots of competition. Still, he stands out as the one whose first response to an attack on the country was to vilify the President.
Presumably he's maxed out on the congressional pension by now. Four or five years at UML ought to be enough to secure another six-figure pension. Then it's on to the toll commission for a few years to bag another. Where would we be without these humble public servants taking care of us?
I remember a fax came in that Howie ripped off for his column: Alec Baldwin: "Kim! Pack the car! No wait! Unpack the car! Hold on..."
Of course Maahrty was hired after the obligatory "Nationwide Search".
>>It is up to Gov. Deval Patrick to call a special election within 160 days of the vacancy.
I'm hearing Meehan's last day in office is July 1; now, let's say it takes 3-4 months for Patrick to call an election.
Does he get to appoint a temp. successor? (maybe not,
maybe it just stays vacant till then)
There is no constitutional authority to appoint US Representatives.
I understand your point, however being in Rep Meehan's district, and given our governor Coupe Deval, it's six of one, half a dozen of the other.
The bright side is that Howie Carr will have new material.
LOL And voters expected that he could count. Are we still in the first 100 hours of the new Congress? LOL
thanks :)
I believe the State House took the power away from the Governor to appoint a successor when they feared Mitt Romney would appoint a Republican if Liveshot won the White House. Odds on favorite to win that seat is Middlesex County Sheriff James V. DiPoala.
