Bill Clinton's former Cabinet officials keep running for governor. First Janet Reno in Florida, then Bill Richardson in New Mexico, now former Labor Secretary Robert Reich in Massachusetts.
Reich, famous as a left-winger, is at least considered more competent than the bumbling Reno and Richardson.
A Democrat and professor of social and economic policy at Brandeis University, Reich has never run for elective office. He has long hinted at seeking the Democrats' gubernatorial nomination will make a formal announcement Wednesday, an aide said in Boston.
Controversial liberal Republican acting Gov. Jane Swift, the state's first female governor, is seeking re-election in the fall with a homosexual as her running mate.
Reich has called Swifty "an embarrassment in terms of her incompetence." (And that sentence is an embarrassment in terms of syntax.)
A liberal, ditzy, drooling woman representing the Republican Party (yes, "in name only") along with her prancing running mate............OR a "Lord of the Rings" refugee with some degrees and impeccable liberal credentials who never met a tax he didn't like.
Face it, Mass.............you're screwed.
Little Tommy Daschle says Reich is a man of great stature.
