It’s time to ask Gov. Charlie Baker the well-known query Joseph N. Welch posed to Sen. Joe McCarthy again in 1954:
“Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, sir, have you left no sense of decency?”
I do know, the RINO governor spent Thursday virtue-signaling with Willie Brown’s ex-, Kamala Harris, earlier than she headed off to, the place else, Martha’s Vineyard.
As appalling as that occasion was, let’s return a day, to Wednesday, when he shut down the Orange Line for a month, most likely beneath menace from the feds, given the hazardously breathtaking incompetence of the MBTA.
With so many disastrous failures on Baker’s depressing eight-year watch, it’s exhausting to pick out simply at some point as his worst ever. But shutting down the Orange Line – lower than two weeks after the unforgettable sight of a T passenger diving into the Mystic River to flee a hearth on the prepare – needs to be in his personal private backside 5.
So the governor Dementia Joe Biden calls “Charlie Parker” needed to go as much as Wellington station in Medford and announce the shutdown, which is a catastrophe for your entire area. Most folks would have hung their heads in disgrace after such a disaster and gone into hiding.
But not Charlie on the MTA.
A few hours later, his minions had the gall to ship out a plea to his mailing record, begging the fats cats to purchase his wretched e book entitled, consider it or not, “Results: Getting Beyond Politics to Get Important Work Done.”
As one man who forwarded me the e-mail mentioned, “Are you bleeping kidding me?” Which is only a much less well mannered manner of claiming, “Have you no sense of decency, sir?”
How dare Parker write such a tome, interval? But to attempt to flog gross sales on the very day that he admits probably the most monumental failure of his regime since… the final one.
Parker wrote this with considered one of his erstwhile payroll patriots named Steve Kadish.
“This work comes from our fierce belief in a government,” Parker penned, “that works a bedrock of our democracy.”
Bedrock? Fred Flintstone would have carried out a greater job than this bindlestiff. Ditto, Barney Rubble.
“Second, we wanted to describe our framework for successful results and provide real-world examples demonstrating how we did it.”
If this alleged e book is about his “successful results,” certainly it may well’t run greater than two or three pages. But no – it’s 288 pages lengthy!
“We wanted to describe our framework for successful results and provide real-world examples demonstrating how we did it.”
So does it embrace a chapter on the Holyoke Soldiers Home? Troop E of the Massachusetts State Police? Does he take a bow for the truth that the alien profession prison whose driver’s license was by no means pulled solely killed seven American motorcyclists due to the full failure of the Registry of Motor Vehicles to cease this sinister overseas thug from driving stoned out of his thoughts?
Is there a chapter detailing how by some means, a way, after his son obtained pulled off a Jet Blue flight amid allegations that he had groped a feminine passenger, the case was first dumped by the Suffolk district lawyer after which broomed by the U.S. lawyer?
Now these have been some actual… outcomes proper there. Young A.J. Baker actually is aware of his dad can get outcomes.
“We believe that government can and should work, and we want to help others who share that belief.”
You know, like Steve Poftak, the MBTA basic supervisor, who has presided over this newest string of Parker fiascoes. His base pay is $334,617 a 12 months, and due to all of the unbelievable work he’s been doing, he obtained a bonus in 2020 of $35,728, after which final 12 months one other kiss of $42,857.
Speaking of creating authorities work, what about Francisco Urena, former secretary of Veterans Services – the autumn man on the aforementioned Holyoke Soldiers Home horror through which greater than 75 aged veterans died due to rampant hackerama together with a superintendent who gave $950 to Parker and $1,000 to his lieutenant governor, Karyn “Pay to Play” Polito?
Urena had been making $131,716, however they wanted a patsy, so Urena was fired, till the warmth died down. A month earlier than Parker settled the wrongful-death lawsuits for $56 million – extra outcomes! – Urena was the beneficiary of a nationwide search.
A Parker hackerama generally known as Mass Development picked Urena off the hack waiver wire and handed him a $100,000-a-year sinecure as “Deputy Director of Military Initiatives.”
Why do I’ve a sense that even when there may be an index in Results, it doesn’t embrace the title Urena, Francisco.
Nor does it embrace an inventory for one Vickers, Kelvin, age 21, of Boston. As Charlie was peddling his new e book, a prosecutor in Rochester NY was saying that Vickers, who’s charged with murdering a neighborhood NY cop in chilly blood on July 21, had been launched from a state jail in Massachusetts, the place he had a rap sheet courting again to the age of 12.
“He was not a Rochester resident,” the district lawyer of Monroe County mentioned. “He was just released from prison.”
A Charlie Parker jail. The outcomes simply carry on coming.
“The book is available for purchase wherever books are sold,” the lame-duck governor mentioned, including that the proceeds will go to “a charitable organization rebooted by my wife Lauren.”
You don’t say. That’s simply so fabulous, Governor. But wouldn’t it’s extra acceptable if any cash have been to go to a distinct charitable fund – say, the Orange Line Riders Relief Fund, or the Home for Little Commuter Rail Wanderers.
I’d all the time thought that when Parker takes the lengthy stroll down the State House steps subsequent January, he’d be pelted primarily with masks. Now, I feel at the very least just a few straphangers will likely be throwing a Charlie Card or two at him.
Whatever it takes to let Charlie know what all of us take into consideration his… outcomes.
