This is from the pit bull of a newspaper The Boston Globe<\/em>, Menino criticizes Brown’s focus<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 The subhead is, “Says Warren\u2019s heritage is not important issue”<\/p>\n

On a day when Senator Scott Brown sought to fan further questions about Elizabeth Warren\u2019s professed Native American heritage, Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, who has not been shy about praising Brown, made clear he is fed up with the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she has come clean but nobody has let her off the hook,\u201d Menino said. \u201cIt\u2019s not relevant at all in the campaign. Let\u2019s talk about the real issues: education, housing, crime. Those are the real issues we should be talking about. This is one of the issues that you [use to] try to divert as a candidate because you can\u2019t deal with the real issues.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At a time when JPMorgan is making losing bets with taxpayers money to the tune of perhaps $5 billion and might pose an existential threat to the world financial system, Elizabeth Warren focuses on trying to restrain JPMorgan and Scott Brown focuses on Native American heritage.<\/p>\n

I think this must be a sign that Brown’s got nothing to run on.\u00a0 If I were JPMorgan, I’d pour money into Brown’s campaign and perhaps even hire some private investigators to dig up dirt on Warren if they can find any.\u00a0 It is clear to the big banks that Elizabeth Warren is a person who must be stopped from gaining any power.<\/p>\n

You also have to wonder at the resources The Boston Globe<\/em> is devoting to this story.\u00a0 When was the last time they did any investigative reporting that turned up anything of importance on an issue of importance?\u00a0 I realize that when you devote this much energy on investigating this story, that a newspaper has to get some return on it investment.\u00a0 They have to try to turn this into a story with legs, or else admit that they have wasted their time and yours.\u00a0 However, even if they can’t face the facts, their readers can.<\/p>\n

If it weren’t for the funnies, I might give up my subscription to The Boston Globe<\/em>.\u00a0 Although maybe they are trying to feed my prime motive for subscribing by just extending the funny pages to their news section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
