Hank Brennan’s chances of convicting Karen Read and other low-odds thoughts
Whenever you see a Democrat politician behaving like a complete ass, don’t you immediately assume that he or she must have some connections to Massachusetts, either by birth or education?
Nobody asked me but:
Who could have ever predicted that Letitia James might be indicted before Fani Willis?
Or that Tania Fernandes Anderson might be denaturalized and deported before Dean Tran?
If I ever get jammed up, I ask for no special treatment.
Just refer all my criminal charges to the House Ethics Committee on Beacon Hill.
The Ethics Committee has always been 100 percent above board and on the level, and if you don’t believe me, just ask that paragon of integrity and ethics, former chairman Marty Walsh.
If Auditor Diana DiZoglio ever gets a peek at the legislature’s secret files, will that include the records of that august House Ethics Committee down through the years?
Because we still don’t know the full story of that Worcester state rep and his rather unorthodox use of a certain office Xerox machine way back when.
But we do know that after the incident, no staffers — male or female — ever wanted to even touch that machine again, especially its glass top.
On Patriots Day, my second favorite place in the world is any town along the route of the Boston Marathon.
My first favorite place is anywhere else.
The second Karen Read trial begins Tuesday, and if you’re looking for an omen, consider the political fate of John Connolly, one of the Canton selectmen rabidly on the side of the McAlberts and the rest of the drunken, corrupt townies.
Connolly is the guy who a) looks like he’s separated at birth from the greasy district attorney, Michael “Meatball” Morrissey (see photos) and b) shares the same name as Whitey Bulger’s convicted Mob hitman who moonlighted as an FBI agent.
Connolly last year famously complained about “random citizens,” i.e., non-Townies with teeth, expressing their views at selectmen’s meetings.
John “Not Zip” Connolly was up for reelection in Canton earlier this month, and he was absolutely crushed, getting only 1,798 votes to his challenger’s 3,230.
So it’s not looking good for his fellow McAlbert selectman, Jailbird Chris Albert, whose term expires next year.
I always thought that in criminal-infested districts, it’s not a bad idea to have at least one ex-con politician serving on the governing board.
That’s why I always used to vote for JoJo Langone for the Governor’s Council, which approves state judicial appointments. Having a guy who’s already done a stretch isn’t a bad person to be asking questions of shady, unqualified hacks who’ll be sentencing other wise guys to prison.

AOC, Barack Obama, Adam Schiff, to that endless list now add Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-MS 13.
He “attended the Middlesex School in Concord MA” because of course he did.
And by the way, Van Hollen was born in Karachi, Pakistan.
You’re not surprised by that either, are you?
Did you see that look in Van Hollen’s eyes when he was sharing romantic cocktails with the accused MS 13 gangbanger, domestic abuser and human trafficker — in other words, a “Maryland man?”
I hadn’t seen such public dreamy same-sex infatuation since Hank Brennan used to stare slack-jawed at his serial-killer client Whitey Bulger in federal court back in 2013.
Will Colin Albert be driving to court in Dedham every morning in that very stylish looking silver-gray Jeep Wrangler that he’s been tooling around Canton in lately?
Whenever I see the mugshot of the latest arrested Tesla vandal, I recall my favorite tune on the old jukebox at the Plough & Stars on Mass Ave in Cambridge.
“Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl?” by Moulty and the Barbarians.
Made it to number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 1965.
Moulty, as I recall, was originally from Provincetown. Just sayin’….
You know Massachusetts is in very deep trouble when Speaker Ron Mariano is the nearest thing to a voice of reason at the State House.
First Rep. Ilhan Omar is accused of marrying her brother, allegedly to commit immigration fraud.
Now Letitia James is listed on two public documents as claiming that she is married to her father, allegedly to commit mortgage fraud.
And yet Democrats told us that legalizing gay marriage wasn’t going to lead down some slippery depraved slope…
Today is Easter Sunday, but let me assure Hank Brennan that there is no reason for him to drive to St. Joseph Cemetery in West Roxbury.
The entrance to Whitey Bulger’s tomb is not going to be rolled aside on this or any other Easter Sunday, Hank, no matter how many annual teary-eyed pilgrimages you make there as tribute to your mass-murdering pervert idol.
And by the way, Hank, you have as much a chance of convicting Karen Read of murder as you do of producing Chloe the McAlberts’ “rehomed” dog on the steps on the courthouse before openings Tuesday.
Wanna bet?
