It doesn't take much to impress...

Brian McGrory and Scot Lehigh now does it?
Today's Globe features columns by both these solons slavishly praising Governor Romney for his intervention in the Boston Police Patrolman's contract dispute.
Meanwhile the Herald tells us that the BPPA is still gonna picket the convention....arbitration or no arbitration.
Doesn't seem like Decaf's intervention has produced the desired results does it?
Well, whatever happens you can depend on Brian and Scott simply swooning over Mitt whatever the Governor does.
Whenever Romney sits down by first base at Fenway Park (thus assuring Kolobian Viceroy of tons of free live shots in the course of the game) d'ye suppose Scot howls ecstatically at his wife, GF or SO "Honey honey come quick...look LOOK! Mitt's on TV, MITT IS ON TEEVEE!!!!" ?

I wouldn't mind so much all politicians must have their apologists after all....at least in every other state in the union.
Here in Commonwealth we do things differently.
The local dynamic has always been "tear someone down to get your ticket punched"...this was Howie Carr's path to a cushy talk radio gig when the Duke was on top so now everyone imitates that template.
So who is after Romney the way Howie jumped ugly Dukakis?
Answer: no one.
Why?
Because Romney's brand of feelgood reform placebos carefully reflects the naive and unconscious political prejudices of our local punditariat.
He is rich, they wanna be rich. He has a CEO's reforming zeal...that dovetails nicely with their own suspicions of career politicians. He wants to be President and they all wanna be his Ben Bradlee.
They also have a need to come off as pseudo contrarians...marking out hard for Mitt Romney fulfills that impulse quite nicely...as if kissing the ass of a governor who won by a wide margin was ever a diresome risk.
Its a perfect fit really when everyone gets down flopping over on their backs.
Sick
Demented
Typical...
