Notes from a Recovering Irishman

With all due respect....

The Annual South Boston Saint Patrick's Day Breakfast (broadcast live on TV in all it's vulgar glory) has got to be the biggest gathering of hopeless windbags since the Scottish National Bagpipes Orchestra played the Wang Center.

Tom Reilly had the good sense to execute due diligence and slip out the door at 10:30am, for which he was mercilessly lampooned for the rest of the morning on live teevee.
Frankly, Reilly's decorous exit only raises his political props with Humble Elias. Hell if I was stuck in that hall with all the gaseous gubernatorial humor and smutty locker room jokes I'd a faked a seizure and called 911 long before 10:30am.
Oh well...
