Ladies and Gentlemen, Governor Motherinlaw! -- In a brilliant example of passive-aggression, Gov. Romney today announced his "support" for Boston's hosting the Democratic National Convention this July by suggesting it move to a new venue. In classic meddling manner, Romney does the ol' "That's not how I would do it, but of course I'm not in charge, you are, sweetie" and it works like a charm. He's trying to win points with the national GOP, hogtied as he is as the Republican governor of a state overrun with Democrats. I guess if he has to preside over the crowning of the "presumptive Democratic nominee" in his own backyard, he's going to be a big fat spoilsport about it. Nice. I wonder, if he were governor of New York, would it be a big "inconvenience" to shut down all of Manhattan two weeks after the Sept. 11th anniversary for the GOP convention? Methinks not.
