Deval Patrick
Hope that phrase catches on.
As a result of the Cadillac incident our beloved (but not by me) governor will always be knows as “Coupe Deval”.When the final chapter on Coupe is written in Massachusetts (perhaps after President Osama Obama appoints him to be Secretary of Peace) it will be said that he was Mike Dukakis without the charisma.
Patrick and his wife, Diane, bought a 77-acre parcel in Richmond's Furnace District in 2002 for $472,500.In 2005, they acquired a neighboring parcel for $775,000 that included a house, guest house and a barn.
In June, the Patricks sold the latter 14-acre parcel to Garrett and Mary Moran of Greenwich, Conn., for $1 million.
Politics of Hope - I "hope" someday I'm as loaded as Deval Patrick.
They're so, so, so - CLEAN!
Deval Patrick
Lotta rope-a-dope for you.
Dollars to donuts, being Massachusetts Governor is like being parade marshal at a four year clown convention. Nothing really to write home about.
I can never keep his first and second names straight. I thought it was Patrick Deval.
“The Reign of the Incompetent”.
It seems more and more our elected officials are nothing more than hollow figures with nothing to offer except running for office.
Affirmative action at work?
I once taught a summer course for an Evangelical Scholars program at Notre Dame, to help them get into graduate schools. I got to pick the students out of all the applicants, and as it turned out, the smartest one of the whole bunch was a black student. He went on to Yale Divinity School, where I hope he was not too corrupted.
But the problem is, you also get black kids who are given scholarships purely and only because they are black, so you can't tell which is which until you have a chance to talk with them and read their stuff. Being a Harvard Law School graduate means nothing in itself if you belong to a designated minority group.
It's the difference between Clarence Thomas, a great American and a brilliant Justice, and Anita Hill, affirmative action recipient courtesy of Yale Law School.
Barrack Obama is slick, but I don't think there's a whole lot of substance there.
mark for later
The Clinton crime family now runs that state.....doesn't matter that he now supports Obama. Of course he does. But is roots are those of a Clintonista which means, first of all, that he is simply a member of the organized crime "family" that has polluted America for the last 15 years and polluted Arkansas before that for 20 years.
My sympathies for my beloved sister and all who live in that state.
Of course corruption would follow Obama into the White House as it would follow John Edwards.
But the Queen of crime, corruption, and destruction will destroy this country.
The people of Massachussetts should find a way to kick the Deval Patrick OUT of OFFICE NOW before more serious harm is done.
“Coupe Deval” has since retreated to a Bunker Administration. He sees no one, goes nowhere, and screens all contacts with the public. He is said to complain constantly. He is the perfect example of what we will get nationally if we elect a Dem next year.
To quote Flip Wilson: “The Deval made me do it.”
At least it was a “made-in-the-USA” Cadillac, not a Mercedes or a BMW.
