Charlie Baker manages to make us forget Michael Flaherty's mixer
By adamg - 7/28/09 - 2:16 pmCharlie Baker's new campaign site has a folksy video of him standing in a park somewhere explaining why we should vote for him. Only, as the Globe reports, Baker was nowhere near a park while making the video:

Beginning with questions to determine my age, party affiliation, assessment of Governor Patrick’s performance to date, and that I was not employed in newspaper or radio media (God forbid!), the caller read an excessively worded introduction to Charlie Baker’s career in business, his political appointment under former Governor Weld, and even where he went to college (Northwestern). ...
