One-car pileup at the State House

The Outraged Liberal concludes that, when it comes to transportation funding at least, Deval Patrick is flaming out rather spectacularly.

Jay Fitzgerald, meanwhile, compares the Patrick administration's pooh-poohing of recent outrages (Aloisi and Walsh) with attempts by some to pooh-pooh those AIG bonuses. He predicts:

Gov. Patrick's "trivial" comment is perhaps the single most stupid political remark I've ever heard muttered by a state or national pol in the face of genuine public outrage. It will stick with him for the rest of his years in the corner office.
