That quote was from a Boston Globe article.

He didn’t say that. He may or may not have heard what was said. You know, that whole faux scandal reeks of desperation. It doesn’t seem to have stuck, though. “Epic upset,” they are reporting.

It’s funny to me that you guys made such a fuss about that. Why would anyone on the Democratic side want attention brought to this?

In October 2005, a Somerville police officer living in Melrose raped his 23-month-old niece with a hot object, most likely a curling iron.

Keith Winfield, then 31, told police he was alone with the toddler that day and made additional statements that would ultimately be used to convict him.

But in the aftermath of the crime, a Middlesex County grand jury overseen by Martha Coakley, then the district attorney, investigated without taking action.

It was only after the toddler’s mother filed applications for criminal complaints that Coakley won grand jury indictments charging rape and assault and battery.

Even then, nearly 10 months after the crime, Coakley’s office recommended that Winfield be released on personal recognizance, with no cash bail. He remained free until December 2007, when Coakley’s successor as district attorney won a conviction and two life terms.

Way overdue, especially if Mr. “shove a curling iron up her ass” wins in MA today.

I know you’re just dying for me to do that. That’s why it’s taking me so long to get around to it.

I am long overdue for picking apart the right-wing, though, huh?

Interesting. You could very easily apply that same frame to teabaggers, no?
