Is Martha Coakley Who She Says She Is?


[From article]
After all these years as a “prosecutor,” Marsha is baffled by a mystery of her own making. In a one-on-one debate with her Republican opponent Charlie Baker yesterday, Marsha flatly stated that she was not the
attorney general of the commonwealth in 2008.
But somebody named Coakley was.
Which raises the question, if she didn’t cash the checks, who did?
Was this a case of identity theft, which is a federal crime, at least if you’re a U.S. citizen? (If you’re an illegal, well, as we all know, technically it is not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts.)
Could it be that Marsha Coakley is the first undocumented attorney general in the history of Massachusetts?
[. . .]
In other words, Excuse No. 1 was that she wasn’t the attorney general. When that one blew up, she pivoted to Excuse No. 2 —that she was the attorney general, but she couldn’t do anything about it.
Marsha Coakley — to a battle of wits she comes unarmed. But as dim as she is, even Marsha realized that it’s not cool to come down with amnesia in front of TV cameras and a live audience.
So she started babbling about how she first became interested in executive compensation. But the fact that she was talking about an affirmative-action hire left her as tongue-tied as a Kennedy. Being too PC to mention the black man’s name (Cleve Killingsworth) she struggled to describe “the issue with the uh uh, the golden parachute in the Blue Cross, uh uh, chairman’s uh when he left, the compensation in that contract.”
Eleven million bucks, to be exact. It was positively Deval-esque is what it was, Marsha.

In 1969, I returned $5,000 to the Trustees of Columbia University of unspent grant money to study restructuring of the university. It was after the student protests in 1968. One university official told me, "You caused more trouble by returning the money than if you spent it." I learned that many of the student groups were having weekly expensive dinner parties in order to spend their money. I was unable to even think of doing that. But it is how government works. When I was in the Navy I read how military bases would spend money at the end of the fiscal year, so that they could get at least as much money for the next fiscal year.

[From article]
Marsha makes Mr. Frosty Markey look like a brain surgeon. She slammed Baker for “reverting” $2 million unspent dollars during his days as a cabinet secretary. That’s a sin in her world, a mortal sin, not spending every last dime of taxpayer dough.

Obama: Jews and Janitors

[From article]
"If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor. I have no problem with that.
That's what the transcript says he said.
Now, watch the C-SPAN video below, and listen especially to the phrase "the same tax rate as a janitor..."
Here is what the president actually said, catching himself almost in time but not quite:
If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew, uh, as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor. I have no problem with that."
