If California is the Lindsay Lohan of the 50 states, what does that make Massachusetts - Britney Spears?
The question is raised by a hilarious column in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal in which former Californian and WSJ editor Allysa Finley lashes out over last week’s election results:
“Listen up, California,” she writes. “The other 48 states . . . are sick of your bratty arrogance. You’re the Lindsay Lohan of states: a prima donna who once showed some talent but is now too wasted to do anything with it.”
California is Lindsay not just because its economy and politics are a re-occurring nightmare, but because Californians just re-elected the liberals who dreamed it up. Finley reports that not a single incumbent state legislator lost re-election in California this year, “including one Democrat who died a month ago (no joke).”
Sound familiar, Massachusetts?
Yes, it’s true that a handful of incumbent Democrats on Beacon Hill were defeated. But taxes, spending and debt virtually ran the table here, where we already have too much of all three.
We’ve got a looming $2 billion deficit next year, the second highest per capita debt and the highest (and fastest-rising) health care bills in the country. And we just re-elected the same liberal team to do it to us again. Only when the time comes to pay up again, Gov. Deval Patrick won’t have Barack Obama to play sugar daddy.
Remember the $14 billion in “stimulus” money the president sent us last year? What do you think the newly-Republican House is going to say to an Obama request for more Bay State bailout money?
Probably the same thing they’ll say when California comes, hat in hand, looking for...

The Charlie Scheen...
I hope they tell MA to sink.
Its like a baby with no responsibility.
Lindsey still has money. CA and MA do not.
They are the Barney Frank of states. Bend over and take it, and seem to enjoy it. Those who do not enjoy it flee to other states and drag them down into the liberal abyss (e.g. New Hampshire).
The Crystal Mangum.
Ted Kennedy
I’d say that MA is the Barry Goldwater of states - once a fierce and proud conservative patriot, ending up as a gaga liberal drooling all over himself.
Matt Daaamon of course
Madonna
I would like to nominate the Joy Behar of states.
More like the Rosie O’Donnell of states.
Brittany Spears.
Goes around with no knickers.
“Bend over and take it”
It’s my fear that the rest of the country, those states that have been and currently are practicing fiscal responsibility, will have to bend over and take it for these scum bag leach states such as California, Massachusetts, upper midwest states...
California, Massachusetts and other Lib states are about 10 years away from being France or Greece. We all need to get ready for the screams for bailouts that will come when they try to raise taxes yet again and even the rich Libs start moving out. And to add insult to injury, the Libs that move out, like locusts or any other infestation, will start voting in the same Lib policies that destroyed their old states (see poor Vermont).
