John Tierney (D, MA-06): Illegal Gambling Crook, or Pathetic Dupe?

John Tierney wants people to know that none of it is his fault. With ‘it’ being a wide-ranging noun:

Should we believe this? That’s the wrong question: the right question is, does it matter whether we believe it or not? It’s the classic villainy versus incompetence situationa again: either John Tierney knew about his in-laws’ illegal gambling racket, or not. If he did, he’s dirty as sin and needs to go to jail himself. If he truly didn’t, then Tierney’s too stupid to be a Congressman. Either way: Richard Tisei should be the next Congressman from MA-06.  Social moderate or no, at least Tisei’s not running a campaign that works under the central assumption that MA-06 voters are idiots…

  1. “at least Tisei’s not running a campaign that works under the central assumption that MA-06 voters are idiots”
    .
    unlike those MA-04 voters, eh?

  2. Well I guess we’ll see which campaign’s central premise was more closely correct…

  3. “Social moderate or no”? I understand the inclusion of this phrase, but it irks me a little. You come across as socially moderate guy, Moe. I am socially moderate myself. Social conservatives do a good job electing social conservatives when they can, and I totally respect their desire to do so. That said, can we get a little “Big Tent” love here?
