Blizzard for St. Patricks Day in Southie

The wearing of the green might be covered with a little of the white stuff this St. Patricks day in South Boston. Just like every year the politicians will gather for the annual St. Patricks day breakfast to toss a few jabs and jokes at one anothers expense.

Given our current Governors "mistakes" and personal problems with his wife it would be understandable if he did not appear for the event. Governor Patrick however has an alternative opinion and has made it be known that he will be attending seeing that he is on the menue to be served.

Bay State pols know too well: Nothing’s fair in love, politics

Saturday, March 17, 2007 - Updated: 07:54 AM ESTThe barbs will be flying at the St. Patrick’s Day breakfast in Southie tomorrow, reminding hapless targets that, as Hyman Roth reminded Michael Corleone, this is the business they’ve chosen, the rough-and-tumble world of Massachusetts politics.

It’ll all be seen as jovial, but it can be brutal if you don’t know how to fight back.

That’s why potential punching bags such as Tim Cahill, our stodgy state treasurer, and John Kerry, our imperious junior senator, end up looking even more foolish when it’s revealed they attempted to purchase jokes, as if a cheerful spirit could be acquired with a check. - Boston Herald

The St Patricks Day breakfast airs on March 18 starting at 10:00 AM. Enjoy the fun.
