The Escalade Affair...

The Boston Herald, the local punditariat and the usual talk radio assholes are shocked-shocked-SHOCKED to discover there are a few fringe benefits to being Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In this case a semi-armored SUV and the use of a state police helicopters. To the preposterously overpaid and undertalented jerks who are hyping this farce, such items constitute Neronian decadence.
I mean, Brian McGrory is just outraged by the sheer malevolent symbolism of that Cadillac SUV....

Frankly, this is all bullshit in extremis, a couple of sore losers from campaign '06 are looking to bitch-slap the admin early to see what they can stir up that is all.

I mean if you honestly think that SUV & Helicopter are wasteful luxuries then consider the White House sized mansion that Louisiana provides for it's Governor fully staffed and comes with it's own Ballroom as well.
