"Reform"

Breathes Charlie "Ziplips" Baker in today's Globe as he details how he'd close the current budget gap.
Baker goes on to brag that he could talk about "reform" for hours.
Well shee-it, Mitt Romney talked about reform for four solid years with precious little to show for his effort. If elected Governor Ziplips will likely double the carbon footprint of the Commonwealth simply by chanting "reform" at ever opportunity and accomplish about as much as the former Viceroy.
Now on the other hand, Governor Patrick has reformed law enforcement, transportation and as of last month education in the Commonwealth, not a bad platform all told for just four years in office considering the array of interests at stake.
So yes that word supposedly beaten to death by Romney, "reform" has risen from the ashes as Ziplips main rhetorical weapon in campaign 2010.
Where was this reforming zeal when Baker and Weld and Cellucci went behind closed doors to cook the books on the Big Dig?
By your works shall you know them, thus Baker is worst sort of political phony in the Salingerian sense of the word.
