Kos post on Meehan with Kerry mention (hint, Kos hates Meehan)

Meehan had a busy last couple of years -- first working overtime to try and destroy blogs like this one by spreading FUD about what we do.

...

Then, last year, Meehan sat on his $5.12 million and refused to give more than the required DCCC dues ($125,250) even as Democrats scrambled for cash to compete and take control of the House. While many of his colleagues dug deep on behalf of a new Democratic majority, Meehan gave them the finger and plotted his ascension to the Senate. There were even rumors that Meehan was one of the people pressuring Kerry to run for president -- not necessarily because he thought Kerry could win, but because it would open up that Senate seat.

Once Kerry decided to stick around, Meehan decided to take his ball and go home. In Massachusetts, politicos end up in charge of universities, and that's where Meehan is headed.

So the question, now, is whether Meehan decides to give that $5 million to charity, to the DCCC, a combination thereof, or if he'll keep it in case one of the state's Senate seats open up.

Given how much of an ass he is, I bet he keeps it.



I have no opinion on this, but in case any Mass. folks want to pipe in one way or the other, have at it.

My reply:

When I see Marty tomorrow (0 / 0)

I will push him to take the money that was overwhelmingly raised in Massachusetts and keep it in Massachusetts. There is no upside to donating it to Rahm Emmanuel and the people who won't even put a provision to block funding for an Iran War.

That money belongs at home. It should go to UMass Lowell or to causes affiliated with things Marty cared about, like Veterans Services, the environment and so forth. The last place any of it should go is the the DCCC. Rahm Emmanuel can kiss my ass. I am sort of ashamed to see Kos carrying water for that guy and doubly ashamed of Kos for attempting this type of political blackmail.

I will lobby Marty to keep the money instate. If could do a lot of good for places and causes that are starving for cash right here in the Bay State.
