Healey Admits "Inmates for Deval" are Campaign Volunteers

by: johnk

Mon Oct 23, 2006 at 21:19:45 PM EDT


(Of course they're her campaign volunteers. How pathetic that it took her this long to admit it, and that the weak-kneed Nate Little wouldn't 'fess up when asked about it after the John Walsh "home visit." Is this really who anyone wants running the state? - promoted by David)

Kerry Healey admits that "Inmates for Deval" comprised of her campaign volunteers.  When first asked about the group terrorizing a 12 year old in his own home Healey didn't respond, instead one of her cronies  said:

"The Healey campaign has hundreds of volunteers doing standouts all over Massachusetts every day, and they aren't centrally coordinated out of our office"

After some soul searching finding out that her campaign is in the toilet, she discussed the incident but by doing so implicated her campaign. From WHDH-TV, Healey was quoted with the following:

"When I found out that they had gone to Deval Patrick's home and the home of his campaign manager, I let it be known that that's not what I want to have happen in the future and I do think it crossed the line."

So it didn't cross the line by creating the group in the first place? 

Hey Kerry, since you are in such a remorseful mood, could she helps us out with some additional information. Like who are the idiots who brainstormed this idea in the first place.  Also who approved the money and coordinated the effort in getting those professionally designed signs and jumpsuits?  It wasn't just a bunch of crazy kids hanging around with nothing to do.

Deval sums it up.

Patrick said the protest was "an indication of another gap in Kerry Healey's readiness to lead."

Update: Kim Atkins at the Herald report that Healey has not apologized to Patrick for her actions.

Today I asked Patrick’s campaign spokesman Richard Chacon if Healey had apologized to Patrick, Walsh or the campaign, and Chacon responded: “No.”

Hasn't anyone noticed the delayed reaction? (5.83 / 6)
Let's see -- the thugs terrified a twelve-year old when -- Friday??? And she waits until Monday to say "I think it crossed the line."

Hello???? It took SEVENTY-TWO HOURS to take public responsibility for this reprehensible behavior???

It's not like the story was buried somewhere in the legal advertising or the obituaries. She should have said within a day of the incident that she had fired the sorry ass of the creep who came up with the idea and had personally apologized to the affected families. Instead we get "tut, tut, naughty, naughty" -- most likely because SOMEONE got it through to her that the image of a frightened pre-teen doesn't skew with her vaunted criminology expertise.

Even if we give her the benefit of the doubt (not that she deserves it) and assume that the thugs were a bunch of overenthusiastic Young Republicans who came up with the bright idea over a beer bong, a real leader would have stepped up ASAP with public and private apologies, and said that the kids were O-U-T of her campaign.

Kerry, you're so very ... craven.


For Healey, the story didn't come out until yesterday (5.00 / 1)
Kerry Healey wanted to do the right thing.  But Kerry Healey didn't know what the right thing was until the Suffolk poll numbers were announced yesterday morning on the radio.

Advertising Blogs Take on the National Reprobates (0.00 / 0)
We all know the Reprobates will be rolling out the worst of the "campaign materials" - one of my favorite Ad Bloggers is looking at a couple if pieces received in the last week.  The materials are national in scope, but the reprobates use the same play book everywhere.

For your infotainment, I bring you Make the Logo Bigger.  Check out "Vote or Die in Your Sleep".
