Batting .500 in media predictions

OK, so I blew it when I predicted the Herald's Laurel Sweet would write another story about the Finneran/Carr "feud" yesterday. She didn't.

Thank goodness for Brian McGrory. Just as I predicted, his column today is all about his grave, grave disappointment in Deval Patrick. Our Boy Bri is angry with the governor over the New Bedford case.

Why is he so hopping mad over New Bedford? Not a clue. As soon as he's done telling us how he was so angry at Patrick he had to restrain himself from punching out a legislative aide at the State House, Bri decides to use the rest of his column for some predictable, repetitive agita about all the other Patrick stuff that just about every other columnist inside 128 has already written about (Bri, let me introduce you to Steve Bailey). Bri, you really need to work more on your transitional paragraphs. He asks:

How many idiotic decisions can you make before you're certified an idiot?

I dunno. How many predictable columns can you write before you're certified a hack?

i just read the column, and i think you might be mistaken. he seems to be in support of deval's stance on the New Bedford incident. he, i think, is saying that we need more of that, and less of the caddy, drapes, assistant to the wife, etc...

Brian's prose is so meandering ...

that it's hard to figure out what he's saying at all.

He really should have spent more time with his cousin Mary.
