Connolly On Video... And In Disguise?

Published Jun 30 2009, 01:40 PM by David S. Bernstein

John Connolly has put out a campaign-launch video. In it he says he's all about One Boston -- preferably one with good schools, safe streets, and lots of eco-friendliness. He stands in a classroom, so we know he's serious about the schools; maybe in the next video he'll drive a former gangbanger to school, in a hybrid vehicle.

Whatever. I've got bigger fish to fry.

See, I found out that there is a Tehran City Council. (Ten members, all elected city-wide, four-year terms -- exactly how we should do it here, in my opinion.) And it has a web site, which I can't understand because it's in Persian.

But I do know that a phony mustache can't disguise the obvious. (It's the "pretending to be interested in your testimony" look that gives him away!)

Menino blew off candidate's night at Hibernian Hall last night. Will that be covered anytime soon?

Why would Menino be bothered to talk us plebs?

David, what is your point????

I cannot determine whether your comments are meant to slam election processes, New York, Tehran, Boston, or just distract from serious issues.

I was at the Boston City Councilor-at-Large Candidates Forum. I heard Councilor-at-Large Candidate, John Connolly speak to the questions posed to all candidates. I found him to be a serious, interesting, candidate with relevant remarks. I am disapointed in your coverage, or joke, or whatever it was. It does not serve the public's interest in Tehran, education, Boston politics, and doesn't serve or replace good journalism. I will send a copy of my remarks to John, who doesn't know me. I am studying the race with an interest in being an informed voter. What are you doing?
