The Boston Globe this AM.

Our Governor mittens hosting a cocktail party in SC for local repuks. joked about the attitude of some in the south toward the Civil War, referring to the regions views that the conflict was one of "Northern Aggression" against the south.

His spokesman said he was joking. He is just a big barrel of laughs. Opens mouth inserts foot then says I was joking. God what a mess he is.

[rurallib]

1. Don't some in Baghdad refer to Bush's War

as a an American invasion? That's a chuckle, too.

[Sequoia]

2. He'd better watch it in SC

Because as you all know that's where the CW started and the south is still sore over losing.

[MADem]

5. That is precisely why he made the pandering comment

He's a frigging nitwit. He forgot that his smarmy suckup bullshit down there would get reported up here.

Northern aggression, eh?? Would Mitt be happier if the south won, ya gotta wonder? Maybe he could have five or ten wives, thirty or more kids, and a few dozen slaves to help out around his Utah compound (which was his PRIMARY residence until he "adjusted" his tax return and paid additional taxes on his holdings there, in order to spuriously claim, after the fact, that he was a MA resident)....asshole.

10. Gawd, you are so right. Shudder.

[Captain Hilts]

3. Well that IS what they call it. The truth hurts. nt

[AllieB]

4. He spends more time in other states than in Massachusetts

he only shows up for photo opportunities when Big Dig disasters strike.

8. You should see the ad his LT GOV is running on tee vee--it is hysterical

This woman has not done jack-shit during her time in office, and she's running for his job.

When floods hit Lawrence, MA and Mitt was out of town, this putz put on a hardhat, came and looked at the water, had her pic taken, and.....LEFT!!!!!! The community was APPALLED!!!!! She didn't even make a PRETENSE of "mobilizing the resources" or anything of that nature.

She has a commercial running that is fall-down funny, because it is HORRIBLE. It basically says, Kerry Healey is a nice gal, you should VOTE for her for this reason!!! Her father was a WW2 vet who was DISABLED by a heart attack!!!! She PUT HER HUSBAND through SCHOOL!!! She RAISED CHILDREN!!!! Then, on comes this FUGLY woman (yeah, you shouldn't make fun of looks, but this IS a political ad--this woman is not "selling product" at all--if she's someone of note, I've no clue who the hell she is, and there's no tagline under her image) who makes a comment about how Kerry is AHHHHHHHHHH-TICK-YOU-LIT and means what she says. I mean, Big Fucking DEAL!!!! This woman has been ON THE JOB since Day One with Mitt the Shit, and she hasn't done CRAP.

The ad is SO dreadful, it could be her undoing, voting machines willing.

[Options Remain]

11. It also never identifies her as a republican

I got a giggle out of that.

[blm]

6. Boston Globe columnist Joan Vennochi FAWNS over Romney like a lovesick

schoolgirl, while pretending to be a lefty. She pours hate on Kerry consistently for years, while praising almost every move Romney makes. The other Globe writers follow suit.

I very much believe she is a BushInc plant at the Globe, they always keep a few there. She even crowed after the election that "no one she knew voted for Kerry". Uh - in Massachusetts, if you don't know anyone who voted for Kerry, then it's 100% probability that you and your circle of friends and co-workers are GOP loyalists and shills.

[MADem]

9. BINGO....you said it well, I'll agree with you completely. NT

[TayTay]

12. Really, She didn't know anyone who voted for Kerry in '04?

There are 47 towns in Massachusetts, out of 351, that voted majority for The Imbecile King. Kerry won the State by the highest percentage that a native son candidate has ever gotten in the State (including Kennedy in '60) and Joanie doesn't know a single person who voted for him?

She really ought to widen her circle of friends. Either that or just come clean and admit that she lives in Idaho or Utah, cuz it sure ain't The Bay State.

[Totally Committed]

7. Yeah... Mittens is a sketch....

did he throw any gratuitous racial epithets in here for good measure? I bet there'll be a few of his famour "Tar Baby" jokes at that Southern "do" as well.....

He's a disgrace.
