Chasing Healey

Apparently a coalition of labor groups and sundry activists have started running commercials critical of Lt. Governor Barbie.
All Humble Elias can say is, it is about gawd-damn time.
Kerry Healey has been getting a free ride for some six months now as she tours various GOP barbeques while her own Lt. Governor candidate has apparently revived the art of hitchhiking.
The woman is a trivial yap in every way. She has never held a position of any accountability in her entire life, she was a part timer at Abt Associates (where she made little discernable impact in her area of expertise)and is conspicuously drawing on her husband's fortune run for Governor.
Moreover it is a sad comment on Massachusetts politics that a distinctly third rate amateur such as Kerry Healey need only show up hit her mark, denounce the state lege and toady up to the independents to win.
All this at a time when the Big Dig is falling to pieces, the roads of the Commonwealth are a lunar ruin and public transport runs a pace competitive with the encroachments of senility.
So hell yeah, if it takes a bunch of unions with fat money to highlight Kerry Healey's numerous shortcomings then I'm all for it.
She should feel some heat before the primary...
