Flyin' Mitt...

Yesterday, Governor Romney "replaced" Senator Kerry at a meeting of out of town mayors chaired by Tom Menino.
JK decided he didn't want to cross the inevitable BPPA picket line, in return for which it looks like the police won't harass the Fleet Center when the DNC comes to town.
It seems like a reasonable bargain given the campaign's need for a peaceful productive convention amidst all the irksome traffic tie ups the confab is generating.
Nonetheless, John Kerry declines to cross one police picket line and not ten seconds later Mitt Romney all but pole-vaults over the assembled protesters yelping his defiance of unions and unionism into the wind.
The guy is so totally post 9-11 it ain't funny.
Ghod whatever happened to Guiliani's heroes eh?
Three years of cop-worship came to an abrupt end yesterday when the pesky issue of a outstanding union contract got in the way of Mitt's ever roiling national ambitions.
Not for nothing though, but back in 2002 The Kolobian Viceroy was panting desperately for the indulgence and endorsement of the local gendarmes...the BPPA never backed him but the State Police union did.
That was then, this is now.
And right now Mitt Romney would walk over his mother with a cheerful wave if it got him some ink as the local nemesis of John Kerry.

I could've told you this, all those "Time Magazine" covers featuring heroic NYC firefighters and police officers would count for nothing when it came time for the BPPA to negotiate with the city.
Predictably the punditariat at the Boston Globe and elsewhere are calling Kerry indecisive and spineless for refusing to cross the picket line.
Hell these assholes would accuse JK of indecision if he switched from Sprite to Fresca.
Frankly the whole thing is indicative of how pathological Romney's ambitions have become...quite literally he'd see Massachusetts burn if it gave him a clear shot at the White House.
Well what can I say?
Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad...mad with pride.
