In most new administrations, you have a transition, and then the inauguration.
For Deval Patrick, first it was the inauguration, and now comes the transition, more than four months after the swearing-in.
This is not a complaint, you understand. It’s probably best for all concerned - well, at least taxpayers - that Deval had to handle the really big issues first, namely the new Cadillac. But now Deval finds himself compelled to begin the transition, because they need jobs to bribe a handful of holdout solons to switch their votes on gay marriage.
Forget their denials, that’s the reality. And how fast do you think they can switch these votes with $100,000-a-year jobs, especially with older reps who are bumping up against the 80 percent pension ceiling?
The math is very simple. The hack will get a guarantee of three years at 100 large, which means their kiss-in-the-mail will be $80,000 a year.
So what if they voted the other way in January, to let the people decide if they want “gay marriage,” and all that comes with it. That was then, this is now, and so they’ll be with Deval and Arline and Sal.
But there’s more to Deval’s decision to finally clean house than his devotion to the gay marriage lobby. Last week, the Democrats had a big fund-raising dinner at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, attended by the usual mix of hacks, moonbats and pinky-ring union thugs. And they all agreed on one thing - they haven’t gotten enough jobs. Not nearly.
