I'll tell you one thing: this damn turd of a governor won't for much longer. 2010 is bye-bye time, you rotten shitter!
"Eggs, differences over easy; Politics, humor on menu at St. Pat's Breakfast rite" by John C. Drake, Globe Staff | March 16, 2009
With a sour economy, job losses, and proposed tax hikes casting a pall over Beacon Hill, area politicians let off steam by ribbing each other and making light of the country's ills yesterday at South Boston's annual St. Patrick's Day Breakfast.
"You know what most Catholics are giving up for Lent this year? Their 401(k)s," state Senator Jack Hart said, setting the tone for the day.
Ha-ha.... ha.
Governor Deval Patrick's proposed gas tax hike, Mayor Thomas M. Menino's garbled speech, and the candidates lining up to replace both men took the brunt of the barbs thrown by speakers at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
Patrick serenaded the crowd with his "Gas Tax Lament," a seven-stanza ditty sung to the tune of "Wild Rover," in which he blamed his gubernatorial predecessors for the transportation funding gap.
"We're facing a meltdown at the MBTA, and the roads and the bridges are showing decay, 'cuz when Weld and Cellucci and Mitt ran the store, they ran up Big Dig debt more and more. They said no nay never, no, nay never no more, will we pay for our transport, ignore it some more."
Senate President Therese Murray offered Patrick a prelude of legislative votes on his revenue proposals by leading the audience in voice votes on a toll hike, gas tax hike, candy tax, and liquor tax. In each case, a resounding "No" sprang from the audience.
"Governor, I hope that was helpful," Murray quipped....
Pffft! None of you listen anyway!
--more--"
