Deval Patrick Update
Since last week's post, much has happened here in Massachusetts. The Boston Globe (especially the paper's letters editor as evidenced by the letters that are published) is hammering Republican Gubernatorial candidate, Ms. Kerry Healey, for her ads reminding Massachusetts voters that Democrat Gubernatorial candidate, Mr. Deval Patrick, is "proud" of his work trying to get a brutal rapist released from prison and for trying, and succeeding, in getting the death sentence of a cop killer reduced to life with the possibility of parole. Strange, he's proud of it and Healey's taking hits for sharing it.
Then, over the weekend we found out that in 1993, Mr. Patrick's brother-in-law raped Mr. Patrick's sister. Yes, the brother-in-law was convicted of rape in a California courtroom. The sister and brother-in-law reconciled and moved from California to Massachusetts in the late 90s. When a convicted rapist moves into the state, she/he is required to register as a sex offender. Well, Mr. Patrick's brother-in-law did not. The Boston Herald reported the story and the Boston Globe refused to publish the story . . . that a convicted rapist was in violation of not registering per the laws of the State (I guess the concern for "children" and females in the wake of the Rep. Mark Foley emails only goes so far!). Instead, the Boston Globe is pounding Ms. Healey because the story was reported in another local newspaper. Yes, the Boston Globe is insinuating the Healey campaign planted the story. Though there is no evidence of a Republican conspiracy, the liberal extremists are crying "dirty politics". Boy, if only Mr. Patrick had a brother or sister that committed first degree murder; he could have the election sealed with the revelation!
Or, fine, Ms. Healey is the source of the "story". At the end of the day, another rapist is now registered with the State. Can we at least credit Ms. Healey with this?

Folks,
From the only letter addressing Mr. Deval Patrick's brother-in-law in today's (October 17) Boston Globe:
" . . . I applaud the Globe for taking the high road in not publishing a story about Deval Patrick's brother-in-law . . . "
Again, if only the liberal media respected the privacy of Republicans as much. Oh my goodness, did I just write that? Privacy? An unregistered sex offender was outed and had to register! The Legislature in Massachusetts may have veto-proof Democrat majorities. Democrats can void the sex offender registry law any time they want.
It's tough living in this state sometimes, isn't it?
