Term Limits

House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo wants to introduce an eight year term limit for his own office in state legistlature. Well this is a definite step in the right direction and DeLeo should be applauded for it, but eight years is too damn long in Humble Elias opinion.
Give em' eight years and these yaps will end up in the hoosegow for sure...hell Sal DiMasi didn't last five years before ethics complaints swept him from office.and as for Finneran...ferget it! An eight year term limit is just asking for trouble given the manifold temptations that swarm about the speakership.
I say, reduce that term to eight weeks, that will keep them honest.
