This guy is a hoot! Says its just the two guys,no one
else,while they are still rounding up people and can
“never” interview him because he can’t speak today. No
other way to communicate, I guess. The young’uns like
to text. He can text us or tweet the info.

Boston, your mayor is an embarrassment.

Speaking is not the only way to communicate. Menino should know that...no one has been able to understand a word he’s spoken for decades.

LOL -- Mumbles Menino -- what an appropriate name after trying to make sense of what he said this morning.

If his throat does not allow speech, he can write.

HE CAN WRITE, CAN'T HE?

Not being able to speak is not a problem as long as he is responsive.

Ridiculous. Not being able to speak does not make him unable to answer questions.

I was riding with a deaf friend once when he got pulled over and I played interpreter just fine.

You never know what to believe. In the Chicago Tribune today:
The neck wound apparently did not initially silence Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who was swearing profusely in the ambulance after his final shootout with law enforcement...

Did not the Mayor work with the Governor to FORCE
Massachusetts children to convert to Islam at the
terrorists’ mosque?

NONE of those in authority want the facts to come out
because as it stands there will NEVER be accountability.

The young terrorist can tweet his story 240 characters at a time.

Quite an odd statement to be making barely 48 hours after the terrorist was admitted to the hospital. The mayor must be one of the great medical minds in all of history, being able to assess the long term prospects of a 19 year-old so soon after his wounds were experienced.

One time on Howie Carr’s talk radio show he was playing various audio clips of ‘the best of Mumbles Menino’. Totally hilarious listening to the dysfunctional phonetics from the Mayor’s disjointed lips.

One of those bozos on the Round Table part of “This Week” was talking about how it would be wrong to let a single horrible incident like this to hold up changes to immigration policy. I guess it’s OK, though, to let a single horrible incident like Newtown fundamentally alter the 2nd amendment to the Bill of Rights.

These people can’t even see when they’re contradicting themselves.

I thought that was a nice touch too.

Are there any Mass. pols who aren’t total idiots?

You aren't from around these parts, are you? ;-)

On the intelligence meter, the Governor rates a 2 out of 10. Mayor Menino doesn't move the needle.

He does have great quotes though. For example,

“It doesn’t say people cannot walk to the Garden or run through the Garden. It means that people cannot conjugate on the Garden, you know, three or more people conjugatin’ on the Public Garden over the next few weeks will be banned.”
Audio clips of hizzoner.

I second that! His giving information is the only reason to keep him alive.

This puny lil punkash could be ‘gently stimulated’ to give up the goods. We wouldn’t want to treat him mean though now would we? I say let the dead victims families apply that gentle stimulation on lil ‘angel boy’. That tasbard just might get his voice back afterall.
And if Stephen Hawking can ‘talk via electronics’ then angel boy is a candidate too for such a medical device.
