Seriosly, this has to go national - it would be funny if not true (that he said it)!
What a man!
Tierney Alert!
Am I correct in guessing this is a democrat with tax issues? I really like the au pair thingy. You can always spice that part of the story up.
If I read correctly, the wife’s brother made $7 million gambling. Does he have a teachable skill? Were these joint returns or were all the problems on the wife’s individual filing?
And, vote the jerk out on principle... after all, he’s a Dem.
If his name is on the bank account he is guilty.
My opinion....
Listen to him whine!!! THIS is what passes for a senior Member of Congress from the once great Commonwealth?
This should make BOR’s Pinhead or Patriot segment, at the very least.
Btw should did plead guilty, was fined less than $5,000 and three months of house arrest for laundering $8,000,000.
I don’t get it. Seeing that he’s a Democrat, how is it possible that his wife actually got indicted?
So an Au Pair is supposed to raise their kids for them?
That alone should tell voters everything they need to know about how they take responsibility
Notice the spin in his version? By downpplaying the actual amount, he makes it sound almost reasonable. People could buy that his wife put away a little money on the side without her husband knowing about it, but $7 million dollars is beyond crediblity.
will be interesting to see if this passes the small test, even in MA
the idiot can’t even manage his own house let alone a congressional district...
So he “had no idea”?
The guy was already convicted once, and they “had no idea” that huge quantities of money appearing in his acoount were anything other than legit>
Uh Huh.....
And his wife who was doing her brother’s taxes never thought to even ask for a W2 or 1099? She just puts down “commisions” and gets away with it?
Man... The pervasiveness of corruption amon people in politics (whther or not it invloves their job) is as saddening as it is disgusting.
And no doubt people today will buy his excuse.
Of course many here will buy Megt Whitman’s excuse re here housekeeper too....
Do we have to play “Guess The Party Affiliation” in this story here?
OMG
Is this for real ?
I am laughing my behind off over here !
Some people have no shame.
Now, everybody lets keep it secret that Tierney is a “dimmacrat”.....from the witchcraft capitol of the world...
“It’s the au pair’s fault”
I bet the au pair is a Republican! That would explain everything, unless she’s a Bush relative.
-PJ
Is the au pair a legal immigrant?
Does he pay her SS, medicare and income taxes?
Just asking...........
Not surprisingly, Tierney has potentially shot himself in the foot by mentioning this troublesome au pair. A reporter could track her down and get the au pair to talk it could get uglier for Tierney.
