Teddy wants to take her on a lakeside drive.

Voters hate it. Our greatest asset is our integrity

Snorting coffee out your nose hurts. This dude should be a comedian.

oddly enough I think this deserves a hero tag.

It's going to be great if she can take a shiatload of her colleagues down with her. Massive chaos.

And if Question 1 passes....

And if Question 1 passes....

...the legislature will overrule it like last time, but it will cost them some political capital.

Only half?

cache.boston.comSome fear Senator Dianne Wilkerson (left) could give up additional information to seek a lighter sentence.

Man, is she stacked

finally, she'll be of service

she's still a c*nt, though

Any chance we lose Menino over this? God, I hope so.

they'll never catch Menino on tape taking a bribe. It's impossible to understand what the fark the marble-mouthed idiot says

The state of MA, as well as the actions of a Democratic Congress elected on a 'mandate' should give everyone an idea of what a liberal-run government is like. Not to absolve the Republicans though, but the idea being sold that Democrats stand for change? Ludicrous.

/Or Ludacris, as some would say around here :-/

The only things Deval Patrick changed is the curtains in his office, and got himself a brand new caddie. It's mind numbingly stunning how corrupt this state is...

Who knows how long we're going to be in the aftermath

Only until Tuesday, when all Democrats' sins will be cleansed away by the healing waters of St. Barack.

Anyway, it's cute that Massachusetts thinks three or four legislators involved in scandals is a major problem. Here in New York, we call three or four indicted legislators just another month in Albany.

Is there more gnashing of teeth over the coming wave of Democratic gains?

You know, if the rich businessmen had just hired more Americans, all this needn't have happened. I'd be eagerly supporting McCain's attempts to continue the Bush legacy, taxes would remain low, and people would be happy.

I mean, it's not as if there wasn't money available -- corporate profits were at all-time highs and taxes had been cut.

So why weren't people being hired?

Good, take anyone out with ya that's been corrupt!

Dem's got good ideas, but we also need to get ride of the old corrupt chaff that's hung around way too long.

He'll probably take Governor Patrick away from us, at least.

But even the self-professed reformer governor has taken his lumps, accused of using loopholes in state campaign laws to leverage jumbo contributions from lobbyists and businesses seeking favors from state government.

"I came to Beacon Hill to bring change," Patrick said Friday in announcing a special task force to propose ethics reforms. "We need ethics and lobbying reform, and we need it now."


Oh no....

She will threaten to squeal, they will give her a light sentence or let her off and corruption will continue unabated.

question 1 does far more damage to the state than good.

as for menino being talked about, i believe he was one of the first 5 she named as being utterly corrupt
