Tom Finneran: not long for the airwaves




The Globe's Frank Phillips reports that Tom Finneran is now a lobbyist.

Of course, the ex-MA. House speaker is also a radio personality--one who's already distinguished himself with his abject timidity. As Phillips notes, Finneran's new gig probably won't help. "It was not clear last night how Finneran intends to remain an effective commentator on state politics and policy while also representing clients before state officials," he writes.

Phillips is being too kind. Finneran isn't an effective commentator to begin with. This is just going to make things worse.
