Another misstep for Deval Patrick...
Gov. Deval Patrick faced sharp questions yesterday after likening criticism of his office to “hazing” by political insiders, a statement that forced top aides to clarify his response to the recent run of scrutiny.I hope Deval will spare us his self-righteous "I said I would make some mistakes," line again. Quite honestly, I can't believe he expects us to just forgive and forget every single time he screws up or does something unethical. Are we supposed to sit back and take four years of "I made a mistake, don't give up me," or is Deval going to truly accept responsibility for his actions and smarten up?
“The governor . . . does not feel he has been the victim of unfair treatment,” said Joe Landolfi, Patrick’s newly minted communications director. “We are looking forward, not backward.”
The questions arose after Patrick was quoted as saying that the criticism about his Cadillac, pricey office furniture and other decisions was attributable to hazing by the Bay State’s political elite.
