Hey, Pags, how ’bout them Celtics?
By Howie Carr | Wednesday, December 9, 2009 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Columnists
When the phone don’t ring this morning, you’ll know it’s Steve Pagliuca.
Sorry, Steve, those robo-calls just didn’t pay off, did they? Neither did all your lame TV spots. You can’t fool all of the people all of the time, as a famous Republican once noted.
Steve, until this weekend I didn’t know who I was going to vote for. Usually there’s one Democrat in any primary who is at least marginally less committed to the moonbat agenda than the rest of the field. This “special” election, I was at a complete loss. It was Moe, Larry, Curley - and Shemp.
But then I got that third Pagliuca robo-call. And I knew what I had to do. I voted for Alan Khazei, even though he’s a moonbat’s moonbat, even though he’s from Brookline (am I repeating myself?), even though he was endorsed by the Globe (understandable, an unprofitable rag endorsing someone from a “nonprofit,” which to a moonbat is the next best thing to not working).
But Steve, I just had to vote for Khazei, to push you into last place.
How’s that championship trophy of yours doing this morning?
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Steve, given your record of supporting George Bush and Mitt Romney, did it ever occur to you to run as what you really are, which is to say, a Republican?
That is not to say that you would be the favorite today against Martha Coakley. She is, after all, the perfect candidate for the modern Massachusetts electorate - someone for rich, white lunatics to vote for if they still feel guilty, even after voting for Barack and Deval (and, in Newton, Setti).
Steve, here’s something you should have considered about $10 million ago. If you give moonbats a choice among three moonbats and a fake moonbat, they’ll pick the moonbat every time.
Capuano wasn’t always a moonbat. But at least he had the voting record to prove that Barney Frank has kidnapped his mind. Watching Pags veer left there were only two possibilities - he’d either lost his mind, or he was lying. Either way, his credibility was zero.
When he claimed he was inspired by Kerry’s 2004 reporting for doody - I mean duty - speech, you knew he would say absolutely anything to get elected.
Yesterday morning, I heard one final Pags radio spot: “I’ve met so many people whose lives were turned upside down by this recession. . . .”
And Bain Capital does what to people’s lives when it buys a company? But Pags wants confiscatory taxes on those evil robber barons - now that he’s made his bundle.
See ya, Steve.

A message to the “Brown can’t win” people —which may include you, Howie:
“He’s not going to win. I won’t bother voting.”
“I know there’s some anger against Washington and the State House, but he can’t win. I’m sitting this one out.”
“I agree with him on 8 out of 9 issues but that’s not good enough. I’d rather have a Dem in office whom I agree with on 0 out of 9 issues.”
Might as well put Coakley stickers on your cars...Who are the real Republicans in Name Only, certain politicians, or the conservatives who stay home because “we can’t win”? If you stay home on election day—one when complacent Coakley supporters may stay home because they KNOW she’s gonna win—you are part of the problem, not the solution. I know it’s a moonbat state but you have to at least try to effect some change. If conditions get bad enough—and they will—this Commonwealth may finally wake up. And don’t forget there are many unenrolled people who are now expressing support for Brown—anyone hear Dan Rea’s show (WBZ, a station whose signal doesn’t fade after dark) last night?
Conservatives For Coakley...because if you can’t support Brown, you may as well be...
