St. Patrick’s day breakfast and roast is this Sunday. The hearing on Casinos is on Tuesday.
With all the tension in the air there I am expecting that some great zingers with eggs and bacon will be served. So BMG, what are some of your
a) Best lines you think will be used,
b) Fantastic lines that will never get said publicly?
Please share widely!
Green Eggs and Ham
<
p>Do you like casino wham?
I do not like it Sal I am.
<
p>Will you play in Middleborough?
The resort will be so very thorough.
<
p>I will not would not Middleborough.
I would not could not gamble thorough.
I do not like casino wham
I do not like it Sal I am.
<
p>Will you play at Suffolk Downs?
Could it make the horse track rounds?
<
p>It will not be at Suffolk Downs.

No ponies help nor even hounds
This shell game really just confounds.
I do not like casino wham.
I do not like it Sal I am.
Please God. No Poems!
<
p>Here’s one for the governor.
<
p>”This breakfast lets us rise above the day to day politics and enjoy each other’s company. In that spirit I want to say something that will make Speaker DiMasi look good. To the thousands of good citizens around the Commonwealth watching this at home I want you to remember one important thing when you see the Speaker on TV.
<
p>”The Camera Adds 40 lbs.”
Man where have you been?
But he got better.
Where is raj these days? We need to have some kind of reunion.
Menino: “Governor, no matter what Geraldine Ferrero says, you didn’t get here because you’re black. As for how I got here, I honestly have no idea.”
<
p>DiMasi: “Governor, we don’t need casinos. If we want guys to blow $5,000 in an hour, let’s just direct them to Spitzer’s favorite website.”
<
p>Best line that won’t be said: Probably cracked by Diane Patrick to her husband a few days ago while watching Mrs. Spitzer on TV. “And I thought I was depressed.”
That’s a 10 for line number three, ugh.
“And I want to welcome the handsome man representing the Barack Obama campaign who is sitting at the front table. today.”
<
p>”Governor, be very careful. Of the last five governors from Massachusetts, four went after jobs in the federal government. And we went 1 for 4 — plus, the one who ‘won’ had to move someplace colder!”
<
p>”Governor, I see that our neighbor in New York is getting a new governor who’s legally blind. I’m starting to understand who taught you how to read a budget.”
<
p>”Deval looks a little tired today. He’s busy working on the budget. You see, it turns out that our former governor ran a budget the same way he runs a campaign…lots of money blown with nothing to show for it.”
<
p>”So now Deval has a secretary of education, first time we’ve ever had one in the state. I thought that was already Sal’s job.”
<
p>”We keep hearing about vote rigging in Kenya and Russia to keep people in power for decades on end. I asked Mayor Menino what he though about that last week and he said ‘you can tell they’re amateurs…they keep getting caught.’ “
<
p>”We want to thank Diane Wilkinson for running the business end of this brunch. She put a lot of time into it. And we hope you’re all enjoying your forty-dollar roll.”
<
p>”I walked into Ben Tisei’s chambers last year when he was watching one of those first Republican debates, you know, with all the losers still in it. I just heard him whispering over and over ‘see? I knew I wasn’t alone…’ “
<
p>”Tough crowd today, but I take comfort in what Geraldine Ferraro taught me…they’re only attacking me because I’m white.”
<
p>”Nice to see Jack Hart here. You all know Jack — he hosts our brunch every year around Saint Patrick’s Day, and the rest of the year he…actually, Jack, what is it that you do during the rest of the year?”
<
p>
doing this!
They should hire you as the MC!
that legalized gambling might put competitive pressures on smaller, family businesses, especially in Sal’s home district…”
This never before released photo shows Deval at a casino unity rally wearing traditional Wampanoag dress. His friend Barack Obama did warn him of the risks…
