Jim Marzilli? Could you please just go away?

You're really embarrassing yourself and getting the rest of us annoyed.

Are you directing your ire

By Jiffywoob - 12/24/08 - 12:57 pm

Are you directing your ire at the policy in general of double pensions for such officials, or at Marzilli himself? I was amazed that such a reward was available to all politicians who failed to become re-elected after 20 years.

Also, shouldn't the fact that he resigned affect his candidacy for the bonus? I'd hardly call that "not getting re-elected," even if his name did remain on the ballot.

Seriously?

Were you really surprised that a law like this exists? This is Massachusetts.

The law sucks, yes

Marzilli sucks even more for trying to take advantage of it.

End of year poll

By JimboJones - 12/24/08 - 4:03 pm

I think you should take an end-of-year poll of topics that you'll never cover again, for all of 2009.

This is one of the ones I wish would go away. Forever.

I hear a big "I told you so"

I hear a big "I told you so" coming. Howie... Howie Carr,,, is that you? Yes, Howie, you were right.

Marzilli sounds like a disgusting lout.

He doesn't belong in office.

And he isn't.

By Ron Newman - 12/25/08 - 1:08 am

He resigned.

Oh, you mean-spirited bastards!

I thought the poor guy was suffering from a disease, and
we all needed to be compassionate and understanding?

Where are all those Marzilli-enablers who defended
him and excused the Lowell grope-a-thon as the result
of a debilitating illness? Isn't this greed-headed grab
just another symptom of the same "medical condition?"
