Scott Lehigh is Nervous Already

In today’s Boston Globe Scott Lehigh begins his column by fretting that Deval Patrick shows signs of Dukakis-like political naiveté:

GOVERNOR-ELECT, do you have a second?

Some of us are getting a little nervous here.

It's nothing big, mind you, but there are some troubling signs.

Horrors. Morrissey Boulevard is getting nervous already and seeing “troubling signs”! Yet it’s more than a month before poor Deval even assumes office!

For treatment of your nervous condition, Scott, slip into one of the Globe’s meditation rooms, dim the lights, breathe deeply, and slowly repeat:

“Together We Can”

If that doesn’t make you feel better, please call us again in 4 years.

Today's page one headline takes the cake, though...it appears that Mitt is some sort of Scrooge, throwing out poor, mentally ill teens and children on the verge of the holidays, but when you read the entire article, well...actually, the cuts are only 1.1% of the Dept of MH budget, or $7M out of a total budget of $640M...I think they're all scrambling to find a landing spot in Deval's new administration in case someone does buy the rag and attempts to run it like a real newspaper!

I don't think you need to worry about Scott being there in another four years. The same little nuclear device dropped on the LA Times and the Philly newspapers will fall on The Boston Globe. Scott et al will be gone soon enough.
