Corrupt Midget

Former state Senate President (and former University of Massachusetts president) William Bulger. George Daher, chief justice of the Boston Housing Court, hurled the epithet after Bulger cut funding for the court in retaliation for Daher's refusal to hire a Bulger crony. Herald columnist Howie Carr picked it up and then, in typical Carresque fashion, used it to death (sometimes substituting a simple "CM").

When the Bulger brothers were at the height of their powers, it was frequently remarked that they controlled the two largest crime syndicates in the state: The Mafia and the Legislature.

About that, Bulger is said to have responded "I don't mind 'corrupt' but the 'midget' part really stings."
