Martha Coakley Gets Destroyed in Front of Pretty Much Everybody, Ever

Where’s Scott’s Crown?

January 29th, 2010 · Politics

Funny. On the same day one Boston political insider asks me, “What has Scott Brown ever passed? What happens when this guy has to stop reading his clips and actually start working?” Brown gives us this, via the Herald:

“I don’t believe they’re going to say, ‘If you’re not with us we’re going to hold these committee assignments,’ I think I’m going to be treated pretty fairly,” Brown said about his renegade status, adding he takes issue with any political arm-twisting. “If that happens I’ll be very public about it, and I think it will upset the populace … I was being talked about a lot. The tone of the conversation was ‘We need to be more transparent, we need to solve problems,’ and if I’m creating that type of dialogue, I’m very grateful.”

I Read the Herald for the Articles, Not the Pictures

January 27th, 2010 · Media

Hey Herald. Can you please stop slathering yourself in Scott Brown man-porn? People on the T are starting to look at me funny.

Alternate punchline: Funny how the paper has yet to run a photo of Scott Brown looking hunky while reading a book.

Nice of Old Man Neil to dress up for the occasion.

Greetings from Somerville

In most towns, people shovel snow away from their fire hydrants, so as not to die in some sort of horrible conflagration.

This isn’t most towns.

Senate Race Leftovers

January 18th, 2010 · Politics

Two quick leftovers that didn’t make it into today’s opus (cheers to you, word-count-less internet) on the Martha Coakley/Scott Brown wrestling match.

First, there’s been much made of the cursed offices from which Coakley is attempting to leap. And the current AG certainly seems to have taken some campaigning tips (act indifferent, bash Bush, dismiss your opposition) from her predecessor, Tom Reilly. I asked Charlie Manning about the comparison between the two. His answer: At least Martha won a primary. Ouch.

And then there’s prediction time. I heard a lot for Coakley by ten, and the lowest a Dem would go was a five-to-eight-point win. The point Warren Tolman makes in the piece, about Brown peaking a week early, may well turn out to be true. But so is this point a less-than-ecstatic Dem made: This race never should have been this close, and because it was, it will wind up causing collateral damage down the line. The DNSC and DNC don’t need to be wasting time and money defending Massachusetts. They’ve got their hands full in Montana, and Nevada, and pretty much everywhere else that isn’t Massachusetts. The thought here was that, even if the GOP can’t steal Ted’s seat, they’ve at least softened up the Dems elsewhere. Something to watch.

The Rose Garden Strategy

January 18th, 2010 · Politics

New clip on the internet to make note of: I deconstructed Martha Coakley’s recent Senate race swoon for AOL News, and the outcome ran on the internet today. It can be found here.

Short version: No matter what some white-ass person on Fox News says, Scott Brown’s surge in the polls here is not evidence that Barack Obama has turned even the gayest, universal-iest health care havers into a teabagging mob ready to swarm the State House lawn, topple the JFK statue, and whack it with shoes. It’s because of that old Tip O’Neill saying, No politics happens on your dumb cable channel, it happens in real life on your street, guy.

The Internet Converges Like Voltron or Something

January 18th, 2010 · Uncategorized

In a brief spurt of web-centric productivity, I’ve merged this here site with my Twitter feed, which may be of use to you if you are in the market for 140-character blurbs about real estate and/or beer. You’ll see the latter streaming over there, on the right. And now you know.

This one hurts.

One can only assume a pouty press conference from the guy’s daughter will follow.

T Ad Campaign Found Wanting

Curiously absent from Jet Blue’s depiction of things Wally is doing this offseason: Weakening an already inconsistent offense. For shame.
