The hardflying staff returned to Boston to find another in a series of Howie Carr man-crush pieces about Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown (R-Boston Herald).
From Wednesday’s feisty tabloid:
Scott Brown may have been a hidden winner in the GOP wipeout in Massachusetts. Now the Democrats dare to dream of taking out Brown, and that scenario may lead to just what Brown needs — a crowded Democrat primary field teeming with lefties such as Alan Khazei, obscure mayors including Setti Warren and what’s-his-name in Fall River, and some clueless rich guy in the Pagliucca-Gabrieli tradition.
Yeah yeah ShillBabyShill.
One graf later:
Yes, the Democrats did win here two weeks ago. The earring (as opposed to the pinky-ring) unions turned out the vote, but the reality is Deval still couldn’t get more than 49 percent. Even against the hapless Charlie Baker, even with a big hand from Typhoid Tim Cahill, a majority of the voters still said no to the hacks’ standard bearer.
You know what the wannabes are telling themselves now: win or lose nationwide, here Obama will bring out all the moonbats from 2008. Maybe, but BO will be bringing out somebody else — all the p.o.’d voters who carried the day in every state except California and Massachusetts.
And Delaware . . . and Nevada . . . and Alaska . . . and West Virginia . . .
Or did I misunderstand, and Christine O’Donnell and Sharron Angle and Joe Miller and John Raese actually won?
C’mon, Howie. Don’t be so Carrless.

Once again, Howie is pushing the meme that “Tim Cahill cost Baker the election” that seems prevalent in the Boston media (even among those that aren’t Republican operatives like Howie).
Of course, there is no objective data supporting that view. The second choice of Cahill voters was split almost evenly between Patrick and Baker. So one could more accurately observe that “Tim Cahill cost Patrick an electoral majority”. But no one is observing that.
Yeah but “Tim Cahill cost Patrick an electoral majority” doesn’t quite have that bumper-sticker ring to it. Certainly not like “Typhoid Tim Cahill.”
Howie is useless. He has nothing to offer. I have been reading him for the past few months as an assignment for a class I took on persuasion and public opinion. I had to read other newspapers as well as the Herald. As my friends say the Herald is a “rag”. I don’t blame Howie for taking the money, but what about those people who pay him .
