Mumbles Menino only wants one thing: The cheeseburger tax.
It’s been a tough week for Hizzoner - more shootings, a high-profile stabbing, a disappointing special election in which his creaking machine could generate only 53 percent of the vote in a conservative council district against a moonbat who’s only been registered in Boston for four years.
But Mumbles could put all that behind him if only the Legislature would give him the cheeseburger tax - the right to jack up the meals tax by 1 or 2 percent.
And it’s not only an option for Boston, either. Am I right, mayor?
“Not just Boston,” he recently said in Dorchester, and by the way, all dialogue is transcribed verbatim. “Milton, Woostick, Cambridge - every one of these ma-municipalities Massachusetts.

That’s right, Woostick too. Are you surprised that he mispronounces the name of the state’s second-largest city? Hey, Mumbles sometimes calls Boston “Boss,” or “Poston,” or “Bosh-thin.”
Whatever you call it, though, the city has been very, very good to Mumbles. He’s 65 years old, making $175,000, which sets him up for a pension of $140,000 a year, for life. It’ll take a lot of cheeseburger taxes to pay for that kiss in the mail, which is why Mumbles, with help from Deval Patrick, is championing the cheeseburger bill.
“It’s not just a Boston bill,” the mayor repeated in Dorchester. “I wanna make everybody perfectly clear.”
And you do, Mumbles.
