Spokesman wins Szell Safety Award
If you read William Goldman's Marathon Man, you'll remember Dr. "Is it safe?" Szell.
Well, yesterday the Fraud Governor's loathsome $150,000-a-year spokesman proved that it is never too late to be safe when he came out against the prescription drug tax that has been in force since January, 2003.
"Good riddance to a bad idea," FG's two-timing mouthpiece said, giving off the false impression that Gov. No-Tax has been fighting the good fight against the revenue feed all along. (source: Boston Globe, 6/5/2003) Because as observors of the Mess on Beacon Hill can attest, not too long ago the Fraud Governor was singing a different song.
Late last year, Romney's now loathsome $150,000-a-year spokesman said Romney's focus was then on restructuring state government. "He indicated Romney would not seek to repeal the (prescription drug) tax after he takes office on Thursday. "I don't think the Commonwealth is in a position to forfeit any revenue at this time," he said."" (source: Boston Globe, 12/31/2002)
Let's go to the video and take a look at that one again. "I don't think the Commonwealth is in a position to forfeit any revenue at this time." But now it's "Good riddance to a bad idea."
How about, good riddance to a bad spokesman? (Is it safe? Guess not!)
