Not a big fan of Brian McGrory

If nothing else, Michael Gee has a way with the insults:
Brian McGrory remains an arrogant, patronizing jackass whose political knowledge could fit in a thimble with room left over for a double Scotch. ...
He bases this renewed opinion on this column in which our boy expresses sadness that Kerry Healey didn't take his advice about chugging down more Coke while mussing her hair.

Hey, Brian -- learn something about Pittsfield
What bothers me about this column isn't Brian's attitude towards the candidates, but rather his attitude that Pittsfield and Western Massachusetts are not worthy of any candidate's time.
There's a whole state westa Woosta, Brian.
Wait, the state doesn't end
Wait, the state doesn't end at 495? Why didn't anyone tell me?!
My personal favorite is the idea that Kerry Healey has a "natural appeal" to all women. Just because she doesn't have boy bits doesn't mean she's appealing. I think she's a fool to run such a horrible campaign and to continue running it into the ground once it started backfiring on her. I'd love a woman to be elected governor, but I do not find Kerry Healey appealing, naturally or otherwise.
What I find least appealing
What I find least appealing about Healy is her campaign. The fearmongering and the constant focus on Deval tells me she either has a secret crush on him or is terribly insecure about her own ability and stance on the issues.
From the begining she seemed like she was taking the whole race lightly as though she was going to float into office on a magic carpet, and then she was offended that she actually had a credible opponent.
I like that she is intelligent, and a hard worker. I don't like her loyalty to Mitt Romney and some of her position.
Actually what I liked most about her was the lack of emphasis she put on being a mother. Until recently(because of those human interest pieces on the 10 o'clock news) I did not know how many kids she had, how old they were, what they looked like, where they went to school, or who kissed them goodbye in the morning.
I cringe when people talk about how "hard" it is to be a working mother. No shit, most mothers work, many want to, many have to. As much as we like to talk about how hard we have it imagine how hard mothers in the 3rd world work.
