Christy Mihos delights in Michael Dukakis-for-Senate idea

Bay State Republicans yesterday all but dared Gov. Deval Patrick to name former Gov. Michael Dukakis as an interim senator - saying the move would yoke the plummeting incumbent to the disastrous Democratic regime of the bad old Taxachusetts era.

“Go ahead - make my day,” said Christy Mihos, a GOP businessman challenging Patrick for the Corner Office. “Politically I hope they do this. It will give us another arrow in our quiver to show them for what they are.”

Beacon Hill lawmakers are expected to pass a measure allowing Patrick to choose a temporary replacement for the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s seat - and the buzz surrounding Dukakis intensified yesterday when former Treasurer Robert Crane introduced him as “Senator Dukakis” at a State House event.

“I don’t have any comment, other than to say I support the bill,” Dukakis said yesterday, adding that he has not spoken with Patrick about the appointment.

Is this a repeat from 1988?

Jon Lovitz could become relevant again.

Has anyone from the media been in touch with Willie Horton to find out what he thinks about it?

Kitty Dukakis joined in, syaing "I'll drink to that!"

This is great, we get re-use all those Dukakis jokes again. Q: What do you call six scotch bottles in a corner? A: Kitty litter.

FOX news radio during Rush announced the Mass. senate had voted down the authority for Deval to appoint anyone. Not right?

Last I heard from Kitty was when she and Mike were on a local Boston talk radio show maybe a year or so ago. She was promoting electro shock therapy (electro convulsive therapy??? I forget the term she used), which she had been having for a while, to help her with bouts of depression. She and Mike seemed to think it was a great thing that had gotten a bad rap in the past.
