I don’t know the Boston Mayor at all but the rest of the names on this list (Kennedy, Kerry, O’Neill) are a long list of morons, money grabbers and politicos who specialize in making things better only for themselves.
The obvious question is inspection - where, how and when did that little gem fail - oh yeah, I remember FROM THE START of this little money drain. It is a shame that an innocent woman had to suffer the consequence of this poster child of government excess. I wonder if she voted for any of the above
I loathe every politico named in that article, for being just the two-faced, pandering, preening, thieving, lying, vote-buying, self-serving con men they reminded us again they are.
I live in Virginia - why the hell did 90% of the cost of that come from Federal taxpayers - to benefit Boston? That money was stolen from me and every other taxpayer who doesn’t live in Massachusetts.
I’m sure that ‘Mumbles’ Menino only thinks of Del Valle’s deathas an ‘inconvenience’, too.
This topic has been the main, no, the sole, topic on all the NE area news and talk shows since last week. The national media seems to have waited about a week to pick up on this one. If this was 230 years ago, the pots of tar would be boiling, the feathers and rails would be prepared, and lots of hemp dopes and tall oak trees would be in heavy use, as was the practice of weeding out corruption and evil back in the late 1700s. Term Limits, the Old School Way.
The origins of The “Big Pig” Fiasco go back to the dark days of the Mikhail Sergeivitch Dukakis “Massachusetts Miracle” mis-administration, and Tipsy O’Neill, “FatBoy” Red Ted Kennedy, ahd the rest of the usual gang of foul suspects, including Billy and James “Whitey” Bulger, the latter right next to OBL on the FBI’s “Top Ten” list. THe “leadership” of Massachusetts is on a par with that of North Korea, Cuba, Liberia, Iran, or Hezbollah, Hammas, etc. Don Corleone of “The
Way back, the late Boston Talk Show Hst Jerry Williams pegged this one as eventually costing “about 15 Billion”, far above the promised and projected 3 Billion. Thanks to the usual high standards of Massachusetts graft, corruption and organized crime, Jerry’s projected figure prophecy became cold hard fact.
The Mass Turnpike Authority generalissimo “Fat Matt” Amarello is up to his beady little rodent eyeballs in this one, Mass Governor Mitt Romney is pulling out all the stops to get this SOB fired from his $223K / year cushy job, and hopefully let him collect “retirement” as a Guest of the State of Massachusetts in MCI Cedar Junction (or worse, for the rest of his natural life.
Bechtel and associates did their usual criminal best at totally screwing up this Project From Hell. Fat Matt, and his cronies have been heaping praise on this fiasco (more polite term for a total cluster-f**k), comparing it to the Pyramids, the Hoover Dam, the Great Wall of China, rather than the more disastrous catastrophes of the Titanic, or Pickett’s Charge during the Civil War.
Of course, the first “bright idea” that the claque of Masshole pols and hacks came up with, is to raise the tolls on the Mass Turnpike, in order to offset the costs onto the already overburdened taxpayers of Massachusetts and neighboring states. When in doubt, screw the taxpayers again, that’s the “Massachusetts Miracle” Way… George Orwell’s ANimal Farm, in living color and surround sound…
I’m truly glad that I fled the PDRM (Peoples’ Demokratik Republik of Massachusetts) on July 4th, 1976, and live in New Hampshire, and will be happier yet after my move to western North Carolina, a thousand miles away from that snake pit of corruption and evil, that the PDRM is, was, and shall be for evermore.
Here is a quick “Mumbles Menino 101” crash course for those fortunates who live outside of the “fallout zone” of the PDRM:
