“…First please join me in pondering. The inscrutable ways of the Massachusetts legislature. . Did you notice how everyone -- yesterday for picking a Beacon Hill insider that is favored candidate. For lieutenant governor senator Richard to say is such an insider. That none of us know he was out I mean out of the -- public official. Which is in the horn this commentary that did strike me as odd but to say he's been in public life for 25 years the longest serving Republican legislature. . And it never came up that he is day. No well but back to my point everyone says to say will be viable because of his institutional knowledge of the state else. Which for my money is just another way of confirming that the way the legislature operates makes absolutely no sense for the rest of us for example. Other -- speaker Robert to Leo and senate president -- Murray does anyone seriously think the legislature deserves and nice long rest until the end of the year. That's like passing a few bills and a budget back in June left them exhausted for the remainder of 2009. So once again we are fixated on the spectacle of a democratic governor. Begging a democratic legislature to go back to work on behalf of largely democratic constituents. …”
