This Is Not a Drill

From the Boston Herald earlier this week. I swear, I am not making this up.

Liberal lawmakers coming in from cold in Massachusetts House

BOSTON - A major shake-up on Beacon Hill as House Speaker Sal DiMasi announces his new leadership team.

Some of the biggest winners are liberals.


Oh, THIS doesn't bode well.

Under former House Speaker Tom Finneran, liberal lawmakers were on the political outside, with little access to the inner power circle.


(getting up off the floor)

Yeah, THAT'S been the problem all these years, a lack of liberal politicians in the Massachusetts State Legislature. It's about time those jackbooted Republican thugs hand over control of the Commonwealth. Sweet freaking mother of Joseph! What are these people smoking?

DiMasi says he's trying to create a leadership in the House as diverse as possible, both politically and geographically.


Diversifying the leadership in the House by increasing the power held by the more liberal of its members? Is this guy serious? Put down the mouthpiece, Sal, and slowly step away from the hookah.

ScrappleFace should be so satirical.

Not everyone is happy.


Can't add much to that.
