“Don’t believe her, she’s acting”. Being Boston born and raised myself, nothing about Massachusetts politics surprises me, and Spiffire Murphy’s post on this incident is all too believable.  Niki Tsongas’ late husband Paul, a Senator and a cancer victim, would have been appalled by this remark, yet Rep. Tsongas seemingly says nothing. Oh well, when you’re an elected Dem in Mass, you needn’t worry about anything. Civility be damned.
