Governor Patrick should give serious thought to naming a Middle School after Boston Globe columnist Joan Vennochi.
No other writer in this Commonwealth so perfectly exemplifies the middle school ethos and style with respect to their writing.
Take today's column for example, Joanie asserts with a very straight face indeed that like...Barack Obama is like sooooo-ooo in luv with himself...it's soooo like obvious!
You see?
Pure middle school, oh she dresses it up with a warning against Obama's alleged vanity but honestly, it's a complaint line worthy of the Queen Bee Table at the Ottoson Junior High School here in (Romantic) Menotomy.
By the way, the last presidential candidate from either party who was entirely without vanity was Adlai Stevenson, political junkies will recall his dire fate twice defeated for the US Presidency and relegated to the status of third most popular after-dinner speaker in the USA.
So vanity even a lot of it, seems a prerequisite for job...hell Ronald Reagan used to regularly march at the head of a band that would toot out "Hail to the Chief" morning noon and night and this was when he was still Governor of California.
Anyway..." Joan Vennochi Junior High School"...sounds good don't it?
