His Journey To The Dark Side Is Complete (MA Gov. Hacks Out!)
Boston Herald ^ | March 26, 2009 | Michael Graham

[“Uncle, uncle,” - Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick]

Why are you crying “Uncle,” Gov. Patrick? It’s the taxpayers who are getting the wedgie.

So a reporter asks you about your bone-headed comment about make-work jobs for your feel-good friends and you say “uncle.” But last I checked, we taxpayers are still on the hook for Carol Aloisi’s salary.

And while paying Sen. Marian Walsh $120,000 is better than paying her $175,000, the fact remains that when you took office, Governor, the assistant executive director of the Health and Education Facilities Authority was costing us zero.

So you get away with keeping a hack friend happy - and you’re the one complaining?

Wow. You really have sold out, haven’t you?

Some Massachusetts voters, the ones who are by nature more trusting and generous of spirit, have spent the last two years telling themselves that you really are trying to do the right thing. They want to believe that you are just a bit, well, naive. Kind of a “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington . . . and Screws Everything Up Out Of Sheer Cluelessness” kind of governor.

But for those of us paying attention, the Marian Walsh saga tells the real story. You couldn’t beat them, so you joined them.

You’re not the idealistic leader making low-rent deals to forward your high-minded agenda. You’re a shipwrecked pol, adrift and at sea, clinging to any bit of political flotsam you can find.

You weren’t clever enough to get reform, so you left the driving to Jim Aloisi. You weren’t tough enough to take on the unions, so you let them roll you on perks and pensions. You didn’t have the character to laugh the math-challenged Maid Marian out of the room when she asked for the HEFA job, so you left for...

That is one of the sillier statements I've seen.

"Coupe" Deval was bought and paid for long, long ago.

Deval was simply the beta version of Obama. Same results, smaller scale.

Great to see Michael Graham has still got a voice and that he continues to annoy liberal political hacks and the morons who elect them. Deval Patrick and his “just words” speech-plagarizing bro in the White House being two typical examples. I miss him on the radio here in the Al Husseini Green Zone on the Potomac.

Michael Graham is absolutely correct in what he says about our “governor”. However, the real problem in the PDRM (Peoples Democratic Republic of Massachusetts) is the entire problem lies at the hands of the VOTERS of the PDRM.
THEY are guilty of seating the idiot in the governor’s office. THEY are guilty of seating the PDRM legislature. THEY are guilty of returning the same totally incompetent people to government election after election after election.
It is the VOTER who sent Bawny Fwank to Congress, among others. It is the VOTER who sent “those two” to the senate.
AND it is the VOTER who complains, gripes, weeps, wails, moans, and waxes eloquent about the mess the PDRM is, as he/she walks into the voting booth to elect the SAME people to office again and again.
Of course, what I have typed could be said of most of the voters in most of our states. Oh boy!

How does Nantucket vote? My town on the south shore is a solid 60% Dem.

ACK drank the Kool-Aide long ago. As the island became a resort the effects of Big Money overwhelmed the year-round community. Big Money determined the island’s future rather than the residents. They either adapted or left.
