The lap dog whines by the light of day...

Mitt Romney has a yappy little poodle named Kerry Healey.
Yesterday she was gamely barking away trying to get our attention and incidentally calling for John Kerry's resignation from the U.S. Senate.
She claims he has missed too many quorum call votes or something damn thing.
I know the feeling, the whole Commonwealth has been missing good governance for fourteen years now, but then nobody is calling on Governor Decaf to resign.
Nobody except humble Elias Nugator that is.

The irresistible rise of Kerry Healey to the middle ranks of Bay State politics is an object lesson in the sort of "Dairy Queen" managerial acumen that now infects the State House.
Trite, inane, foolish, and a political loser of amateur rank, her main resume builder was twin losses for State Rep in Beverly prior to her Kolobian apotheosis. Eventually in 2002, Ms. Healey was chosen over dozens of better qualified Lieutenant Gubernatorial candidates primarily on the basis of her malleability and sheer unthreatening mediocrity.
As such she is the very embodiment of obnoxious Romneyism in the Commonwealth.
That is to say Healey is a political hedonist of the first rank who needs only to show up and mouth the usual aggressive conservative platitudes and the rest is gravy.
Movement conservatism all over the nation is rife with time serving social climbing hacks like Kerry Healey nothing distinguishs them from the rest of the GOP herd save their fanatical adherence to today's talking point.
And indeed why shouldn't Kerry Healey follow that herd to glory?
She is enough of a student of history to know that conservative candidates who toe the party line are rarely turned out of power merely for being too right wing.
If Kerry wants to move up then she has to slag John Kerry then either a easy sinecure in DC beckons or even the corner office at the State House.
What a dangerous and demented ego the Lieutenant Governor has to think she could prosper in either office....nothing in her record to date suggests she has the wits necessary to manage a video store let along this stolid brooding Commonwealth.
But the party line demands she yap on about Kerry's alleged missed votes in the senate, and so she barks and yowls....ineffectually yes but incessantly as well.

Sick
Demented
Typical....
