Howie Carr is most assuredly not a fan of Gov. Patrick's latest appointment.
The hack du jour is former state Sen. Cheryl Jacques, which rhymes with “Fakes.”Some people mispronounce her name as Jacks, which rhymes with “Hacks,” which would also be appropriate, considering where she is landing - at the Division of Industrial Accidents, as an administrative judge, for approximately $107,000 a year.
Not bad, but didn’t I read once in the Globe that she was a “tenacious lawyer?” A hundred grand and change ain’t much for a “tenacious lawyer.” That’s what you’d pay for a standard issue failed hack, which at age 45 is what Rhymes-with-Fakes has become.
The job needed a woman, and the woman most certainly needed the job.
Did I mention she was a lesbian, or did you just assume it, knowing that Gov. Deval Patrick appointed her? Hey, it had been almost a week since his last lesbian judge, the woman in Amherst whose galpal gave a grand to Barack Obama on Jan. 21, one day before her appointment to the probate and family court bench.
Cheryl of course has her own live-in galpal who used to work for her at the State House during which time her pay increased 92 percent.
I took a look at Jacques’ resume, and strangely she neglected to include what I always recall as the pinnacle of her career, those glory years on the Norfolk County Mosquito Control Board. Do those years count toward the pension?
