Massachusetts State Senator Anthony Galluccio, a Democrat (not that you’d know that from reading the AP story) appears to be positioning himself as a challenger to replace the late Senator Ted Kennedy in the upcoming special election.
The Boston Globe gives the details:
Cambridge police gave state Senator Anthony Galluccio a ride home early the morning of Oct. 4 when a gas station attendant called 911 and said he feared the lawmaker was “too intoxicated to drive,” according to a police report made public today. Thirteen hours later Galluccio was behind the wheel and fleeing the scene of a crash after rear-ending a minivan and hurting a 13-year-old boy.
The 42-year-old Cambridge senator hit the family’s car at 5:30 p.m. with enough force that he left an imprint of his license plate on their van, which helped police track and cite him with leaving the scene of an accident.
He’s getting there, but he won’t truly be a hero to the people of Massachusetts until he overcomes true adversity.
Do you only get Kennedy’s seat if you flunk a blood alcohol test?
Not shocked. MA is the most f’d up place I ever lived. In fact its more f’d up than California. Were it not for San Francisco and LA, Cali would be a deep RED state but we have idiots on the coasts…however MA is insane from Ocean to border…
He sounds like a shoe-in. All he needs to do is make jokes about his accidents, and grope the interns.
Sometimes the fish is too big for the barrel…
Actually he still has a ways to go. He has to talk about fighting for the abstract “working man” while going to party in San Francisco with upper class leftists and showing nothing but contempt for actual working men and women. Also, he has to be the bottom dweller in a family that is nothing but a stain on America. One fleeing the scene of an accident conviction won’t do that. I mean, he didn’t even kill anybody.
Hey, don’t be too hard on the Kennedys. JFK lowered taxes.
Was that before or after he betrayed the Cubans to Castro?
We’re gon’na need a bigger barrel.
Yeah, but has he ever made a “waitress sandwich?”
According to his website, Galluccio is a member of the (are you ready for it?): Mental Health & Substance Abuse Committee.
JohnFN, you are correct: irony is dead.
Not counting this incident, he has had two DUIs. The Governor pardoned him after the first one.
Galluccio also gave the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Senate Bill 233, which states – in part – the following:
I have nothing wrong with school’s going against bullying except it seems they are more concerned about punishing the kid who is being bullied and tries to defend himself than the actual bully.
Of course, the Orwellian aspects of the bill (how can the school police ALL of THAT?) is a bit creepy?
And I don’t think the state should be in charge of setting school policy towards bullying. Otherwise we have zero tolerance against (translation: Zero Tolerance against self-defense).
Forget it Jake. It’s Massachusetts.
