SPRINGFIELD — A testy Gov. Deval Patrick, speaking for the first time about a scathing audit showing $2.4 million in taxpayer money going to dead people, defended his embattled administration last night and questioned whether the abuse was that widespread.

“Wait a minute. Be real careful. Be real careful,” Patrick told the Herald Truth Squad when asked if he’s downplaying the amount of fraud. “Nobody in this administration, including me, is minimizing the seriousness of this.”

But then Patrick proceeded to minimize the findings.

"99.9%..." that seems to be the figure used whenever someone or something goes bad. Typical Dem insanity.

“One instance of someone gaming the system is wrong. But 99.9 plus percent of it being done the right way is also something that has to be acknowledged,” Patrick said after addressing graduates at Springfield Technical Community College.

Thirty years ago such a limp response to obvious corruption would've evoked gales of laughter followed by a recall drive.

This is exactly the kind of gross incompetence/corruption one should expect in any governing body run by Democrats. The proof is abundant.

Andrea Taranto of The Five on Fox has coined a term for them: “Corrupticrats.” That should be used extensively to describe Democrat politicians and their co-conspirators.

One of the Boston papers reported this week that the benefit cards used to have picture ID—the reform they’re fighting for now, but likely won’t get—until the Romney administration discontinued the practice in 2004.
