I was worried that Scot Lehigh would not proclaim Charlie "Ziplips" Baker the moderate repuiblican messiah.
Ah but Scot is as predictable as an unloved season, it is April and a middle aged pundits thoughts turn to political man-love, complete with mash-notes:
At the 1990 GOP state convention, socially liberal Bill Weld, who was booed, jeered at, and even called a “baby-killer,’’ was handily beaten for the party endorsement by conservative Steve Pierce. On Saturday, Weld’s political son, Charlie Baker, who supports abortion rights and gay marriage and has a gay running mate, won an astounding 89 percent of the convention vote, denying Mihos a spot on the fall primary ballot.
"Weld's political son, Charlie Baker" that is key phrase loaded with the pundit-speak code words, even today twenty years later, Bill Weld dissolution and irresolution and all, casts a magic spell on local columnistas.
They all wish they could be as whimsical as He, it is a boomer thing Humble Elias doesn't quite get it.
Of course, Scot blithely overlooks Baker's cave-in to the fagbasher right on the issue of the Transgender Civil Rights Bill co-sponsored by his own candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
no never mind, to Scot Lehigh, Charlie is a Man on Horseback forget his love of high premiums low taxes, his no-show on the Big Dig and his craven roughshod ride over the rights transgendered citizens...Charlie is Da Man.
