Gotta Love Barbara Anderson

She is older than dirt, hasn't had a new thought in twenty years and pretty much she is relegated to the bottom of the bill with the cheap acts..but damn the lady does have the courage of her restrictions.
With the zeal of Chekist Anderson mercilessly grilled Citizen Charlie "Ziplips" Baker on his former support for Prop 2.5 overrides in Swampscott until he broke down and blamed his wife for his apostasy.
Satisfied that Citizen Baker is appropriately craven and spineless she endorsed his gubernatorial candidacy with all the smug self satisfaction one would expect from say the House of the Romanovs.
Ah but Barbara has a history of this sort of thing, she also has opportunistic side to her as well, she had the sheer effrontery to tour the  NH primary introducing Mitt Romney as an anti-tax zealot never once mentioning all the bewildering fees Mitt increased as Governor of Massachusetts.
Ditto she extracts abject groveling from Charlie Baker before endorsing him, artfully skipping over his penchant for increasing premiums at Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
In truth, Barbara Anderson reminds me of the old "Anti-Saloon League" from prohibition days when they'd happily trade votes with every drunk in the US Congress...I'm sure all those chowderheads blamed their wives too.
