First Things:

Take a look at Joanie Vennochi's lede in today's Boston Sunday Globe column:


"BE AFRAID, Democrats. Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey is not a great, natural politician, nor that inspiring a speaker. But she is good enough to become the next governor."
Notice the immediate juxtaposition of Fear + Democrats? She wants us to "be afraid" the first thing that comes to Joanie's nasty little mind is the need for democrats to cower it one of Vennochi's most beloved and oft-repeated images.
She just loves it when we are scared doesn't she?
Conversely, Joanie is less enamored of democrats when we fight back as Humble Elias has pointed out ad nauseum.
Well, I'll tell yuh, Humble Elias isn't afraid of anyone, not Spiteful Joanie nor Lieutenant Governor Healey or her freespending husband.
And if this fall the Commonwealth elects another shallow, bumbling GOP dilettante then so be it.
The matter will have to faced with stoicism.
What is scary however, is the gruesome spectacle of Joanie Vennochi bolting out of her house on a cold April Sunday Morning pathetically eager to drop the cardboard Burger King Crown of GOP Moderation on Healey's empty little noggin.
A horrific scene to be sure, but like most horror films, entirely predictable.
Kerry Healey could've come out for a Commonwealth-wide genocide lottery yesterday at the GOP Convention and Joanie would've found some way to spin it as a wise proposal to hold back the ravenous democratic controlled state legislature.
