Keller’s gone with the wind/Minogue’s general election campaign/The unstable mind of Sue O’Connell
Did we hasten his demise?
Jon Keller
We’ll never know if Jon Keller knew he was recording what apparently was his last Sunday morning segment for WBZ-TV before he got let go but the nine minute segment did not include his signature knuckle bump. Jon lasted a little more than three weeks after your fav reporter suggested Mr. Keller F-off when I declined a request from @AndreaWBZ to use my footage of Antifa’s Tremont Street temper tantrum on October 7th.
Andrea: “Hi there, can wbz have permission to use your video?”
Me: “No and tell Jon Keller fuck off.”
Did the exchange hasten Jon’s regime media demise?
We’ve leave you with this 2008 Keller gem from a Romney event in Detroit.
Mike Minogue’s general election campaign
Mike Minogue has been running for governor for just over a month, so you’d expect he’d want to get out there and meet as many grass roots (and potential GOP delegates) as humanly possible given that both Kennealy and Shortsleeve have been on the ground shaking hands since spring.
Call it a strategic vision if you want, but Minogue has missed several chances to show at events you’d typically attend in a three way primary. It is almost as if he thinks buying TV ads (which he his doing now) allows him to slow roll his personal grassroots appearances. Events Minogue skipped are: the MA GOP event featuring RNC Chair Joe Gruters, and two events on the State House steps one to Audit the Legislature and Friday’s Repeal Chapter 135 event.
Kennealy attended all three events and Shortsleeve two of three. Shortsleeve had a long booked Westfield event of his own at the same time as the MA GOP-Gruters event in Dedham.
The absence from the Audit event headlined by DiZog was even more inexplicable, given that he’s taken credit as the “concerned citizen providing financial support to the law firm engaged to assist the Office of the State Auditor.”
Sue O’Connell - drug dealing is “almost quaint”
Maybe Jon Keller can join Sue O’Connell over NBC 10 Boston, certainly he’d be at home with the completely unhinged O’Connell who told us this weekend that coke dealing out of Maura’s western State House was no big deal compared to the evil conducted on a daily basis by…you know who.
“But I have only so much outrage to go around, and frankly, a mid-level state employee’s alleged drug operation seems almost quaint compared to what we’re watching from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”
Jessica Machado said it best: “This makes my head hurt.”
Seemingly forgetting several decades of political corruption, Sue said LaMar Cook’s alleged drug dealing was disgraceful, yet “not since VP Spiro Agnew received bags of cash at the White House have we seen an example of brazen criminality run from a government office.”
“I can be mad about both [Cook and Trump]. But let’s not pretend they’re in the same universe.”
With Jon gone for now (he still has his State House News gig) at least we have Sue to entertain us.
