Deval Patrick goes off deep end yet again
Boston Herald ^ | August 20, 2009 | Howie Carr

Posted on 08/22/2009 8:43:39 AM PDT by george76

Hey, Deval, if you thought your recent poll numbers have been abysmal - and they have been - wait until after this latest pool-closing fiasco.

You’ll be . . . drowning.

Do you know what the governor calls a Herald plane hovering over his sparkling pool and cabana on his $1.7 million estate in Richmond on the second-hottest day of the year?

“Every rich man’s nightmare.”

The name of Deval’s Berkshires retreat, by the way, is Sweet P Farm. Now we know what the P stands for - pool.

Talk about tone deaf - firing Dan Grabauskas, not firing Jim Aloisi, the billion-plus in new taxes in a moribund economy, the idiotic comments during Gates-gate, and now this. There’s a heat wave in August, and his Department of Conservation and Recreation, larded with the flotsam of John Walsh’s Plymouth County hackerama, is shocked, shocked.

This is how bad it is for Deval. This latest public-relations fiasco has accomplished the near-impossible - it’s actually made Mumbles Menino look competent.

New York’s gov Patterson says black politicians are being targeted by a white media conspiracy driving down their polls. The Kenyan is next.

Could it be that black politicians are incompetent? No, couldn’t be.

Romney should run for Governor again. At least he’d have an office to go to.

Paterson’s been casting about for a rationalization of his incompetence for a while, now. Initially, he accidentally labeled himself incompetent, while trying to condemn Saturday Night Live for their hilarious skit revolving around his being legally blind and walking around in front of the camera from offstage, bumping into things.

That didn’t work, so he’s off to plan B.

Not all black politicians are incompetent. I wouldn’t say even a majority are, but, hey, they’re politicians. Politics and incompetence are drawn to one another like a moth to a flame. And, race has little to do with it.

The several black politicians who are obviously incompetent, are quite visible, though, and MSM cries of “racism” only compounds the fact that, yes, they’re incompetent. It’s the double standard that’s racist.

What is the issue regarding Deval Patrick, I’m confused. I read the article but since I don’t live in the Bay State I don’t understand what’s going on.

He closed the public pools for the peons because the state is broke due to he and his cronies living large on the public dime. A teachable Marie Antoinette moment.

There is one thing worse and that is a “racist, liberal tax and spend’ POTUS like we have now.

Actually it’s more like files to manure.

That actually is more apt, in this particular situation.

Think how ridiculous it is to be a governor or even the president and then when you are criticized you immediately decide it’s “racism”. Then how the heck did they become governors and presidents if things are so racist?

Coupe Deval? He’s prone to very lavish public spending programs on the one hand, but orders cuts in things that the “little people” need or might enjoy. You know, the usual leftist blackmail, when they want a tax increase.

It really warm last week and state run pools closed so that lifeguards (many of whom are collegiate athletes) could go back to school. Closing pools in the middle of August doesn't make sense, but nothing does in bizzarro land.

The policy was the same under Romney and other Republican governors.

Hey Gov:

Change your name to Deval Patrick Kennedy and your problems are solved.

Thank you. That was the biggest piss-poor excuse for trying to be funny writing I've ever seen in my life. I had to read it at least four times before I finally convinced myself I wasn't missing anything.

The fact that they’re holding office should go a long way to mitigate such claims, shouldn’t it?
