NH Jounral Had DJ Pregnancy Scoop...A Liz Warren Parallel?

This time especially I don't at all mind being scooped.  Apparenlty, the NH Journal (whatever that is) had the story on Mrs. (To Be) DJ's pregnancy before I did.  Maybe this is where former Governor Steve Merrill read it before he began spreading the rumor.  Thanks to a reader who sent me this source.  If you can't trust me, you certainly an trust the NH Journal (I repeat...whatever that is).  Of course, the Journal should have added the most important clause, one I used at least twice, "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"  It's reassuring to know that even while his mind and sense of morality had failed him, DJ's body was functioning just fine, thank you.  We all trust that some "pedophile pimp" will take his confession...do Catholics still have confession?

As I noted earlier, I'm far more troubled by the series of lies D.J. told on the House floor than the lies in his personal life.  Is there a parallel here to Elizabeth Warren, part Chrokee Indian (?) and Democratic candidate for Senate in Massachusetts?  The word "pathological" would seem to apply to both.  Don't be surprised if the Indian wannabe suffers the same fate as D.J.  In fact, I'll predict it here...Liz won't survive till November.

SEQUENCE OF EVENTS – If we have it right, here’s how it went down.  Betterncourt attended the UNH School of Law graduation ceremony, but he was still a few credits shy of graduating – which was okay because he had enough credits under his belt to walk in the graduation procession.  The problem was that he claimed– via his Facebook account – that he had in fact graduated. That triggered Rep. Bob Guida to inquire about how he managed to graduate despite essentially blowing off the internship Guida had offered him.  Guida subsequently learned that Bettencourt falsified his internship documents and received credit for his no-show internship. After Guida confronted him Bettencourt said he would resign.  But that’s not what happened.  Bettencourt instead announced he would step down in two weeks and not run for re-election because he wanted to focus on his new career (presumably a career in the law, which is now not an option) and his family (his fiancée, who works at the State House, is pregnant). This disingenuousness evidently infuriated Guida, who turned to the press to get the truth out.  In the wake of media coverage of the internship issue, Bettencourt made a subsequent announcement that he would step down immediately.  Read a more detailed rundown at UnionLeader.com.

Monsieur Vaillancourt –
Never underestimate the tolerance of MA-MA Land liberals to stomach the putrid contents of its pols. See Ted Kennedy for confirmation. For sheer entertainment value, I hope she does make it to No-good-comes-of-it November. Where's the native american with the tear in his eye at Lizzy Warren's political gatherings? We need more cow bell!
