Adrian Walker should cut out the passive-aggressive crap

In the Globe today, Walker whines like that mosquito buzzing around your ear at 3 a.m. about how the guys running for governor (yes, like the Boston Media Consortium tool he is, he leaves out Jill Stein) are not having the sort of thoughtful, puffing on pipes as they adjust their smoking jackets kind of discussions he thinks they should:

In the six weeks or so left in this race, I think voters would love to hear how the candidates really plan to deal with the looming $2 billion deficit, how they will bring equality to education, and whether the state's pension mess can ever be brought under control. No buzzwords or gimmicks or revisionist history, please.

Oh, if only Adrian Walker were a metro columnist at the state's most influential media organization, somebody who could sit down with the candidates at Locke-Ober and hash all that out if he really wanted to. If only.

Ed sidetrack question: In commercials that have run roughly 750,000 times during Sox games this season, Walker colleague Kevin Cullen says Globe columnists are influential enough to stick up for people without "power into the juice." What does that mean?
