[Gay State Conservative]

My aunt,a native of Southie and damn proud to be Irish,used to adore Billy Bulger...how smart he was...how many languages he spoke.Try as I might I could never convince her that both the Bulgers were the slimiest,filthiest punks who have ever drawn breath.She died thinking that Billy was God-like.

Yes...I saw a Globe at work last night and saw a Jeff Jacoby piece saying Billy was a bit of slime, and last night on news they had those phone conversations between Billy Jr and Whitey. IIRC Howie’s resident veterinarian Dr John DeJung ran against Billy Jr and I think Lynch wound up with the seat eventually, right? (state sen.)

Can’t get to the article at the moment due to Globe paywall but it starts “PAUL CELLUCCI deserved better than to have his memorial service sullied by William Bulger.”
