Songs of Sympathy

Politics 101: When seedy stories of corruption under your rule begin to take hold, try to make people feel sorry for you. Sympathy always works.

So here we Governor Deval Patrick's Wife is now officially depressed.


I hope Diana Patrick gets better, but really, this whole thing is far too convenient to not at least arouse suspicion. A lead story in the Sunday edition of the most widely read paper in the region while in the midst of a few scandals? C'mon.

After all, he is a Democrat. It's not like he goes around parading his wife around for political gain. I mean, gosh, who do you think he is? Mitt Romney?

I wish the Globe could at least PRETEND not to be so biased.
