Another Saint Patrick's Day breakfast...

which for sheer humor and wit, gets worse and worse with each passing year.
I think it must be the venue it just drains any spontaneity or talent out of the participants...even Deval Patrick who can get a good line off now and again sounded like a footling yesterday.
Maybe the corned beef is underdone...thats a killer mah frenz.
Trust me, Humble Elias is no nostalgist, it was no better when Capo d' Regime Billy Bulger was in charge, a palpable air of menace hung over the proceedings for all the genial Irish smiles. The malevolent miasma was easily discernable to television audiences...the whole affair felt like one was watching Sonny Corleone try his hand at stand up comedy.
Frankly true wit has been a rare thing on Beacon Hill since the late George Keverian stepped down as Speaker of the House, this lot are a bunch of pretenders who won't even lay out the money for good gag writers.
Guys...listen to Humble Elias willya? Bruce Vilanch will negotiate on his rates.
