Is Tim Cahill crazy like a fox?
Meltdown man takes heat off his Democratic pals

When you see Tim Cahill these days, two words jump to mind: “nervous exhaustion.”
As in, “Candidate hospitalized for . . .”
But there’s another way to look at this kind of once-in-a-decade-type meltdown. This started out as a terrible week for Democrats in Massachusetts. Scandal after scandal after scandal.
But then Timmy took a bullet for his team - the Democrats.
He became a political suicide bomber. Call it Operation: Change the Subject.
Think of this election year for Massachusetts Democrats as a World War II movie - the Americans are pinned down by the Krauts. It looks grim for Brooklyn and Tex and the rest of Sgt. Rock’s platoon, but then one of the quiet guys, Pfc. Cahill, suddenly jumps up and runs straight up the hill at the Nazis’ machine-gun nest. He slays dozens of Jerrys with his submachine and draws all their fire as his buddies slip away . . .
Tim Cahill - he did it for a friend. Three, actually - John Tierney, Deval Patrick and Suzanne Bump. Consider what everyone was talking about before Timmy donned his tinfoil hat.
Tierney’s wife gets caught laundering $8 million in dirty organized-crime money wired from the Caribbean by her fugitive brother.
Suzanne Bump, candidate for auditor, got caught cheating on her taxes - stop me if you’ve heard this one before. She was grabbing tax writeoffs claiming she lived in two places at once.
“Primary residence, principal residence - I see them as two different things.”
Ms. Bump, you have the right to remain silent . . . Speaking of which, Deval Patrick should have dummied up about the graduated income tax. But no, he had to open his yap, at least twice. But just as they were about to get slammed, Tim Cahill climbed unsteadily out of the foxhole, a bayonet clenched in his teeth, bellowing, “Remember Pearl Harbor!”
My favorite Cahill quote came Friday night, when he complained about the supporters of Charlie Baker calling the talk shows and putting the blast on him. See, Timmy can spot a GOP radio plant a mile away.
“They disguise their voices,” he explained.
Can someone say, “Nuttier than a fruitcake”?
Keep your arms out, Timmy. It’ll make it harder for the guys in the white coats to throw the net over you.

Howie Carr and WRKO continue their nonstop
support of Romney, RomneyCARE, and anything which
helps Obama and Deval Patrick.
No matter that the PEOPLE have a right to vote for their choice.
No matter that the PEOPLE have a right to the truth.
Choice, Truth. Got that, Captain?
I love the Sgt. Rock reference!!! I remember the days of buying GI Combat, Unknown Soldier and Sgt. Rock comics...no PC BS in them.
