So Who Will Make Decisions in '08?

Lost in the euphoria of another Patriots win was this story, from the Boston Globe:

[Lt. Gov Kerry] Healey was en route to an appearance in Newton last Wednesday when her car hit stop-and-go traffic on Route 128 in Burlington. Her state police chauffeur used his emergency lights to force other motorists out of the way.

"In retrospect, it was probably a mistake to be using the blue lights in a non-emergency situation," Healey told WBZ-AM Monday at an event in Worcester.

Tsk tsk. One of Tip O'Neil's old rules of politics was to never cut to the front of a line. I assume that also applies to lines of traffic.

In her defense, Healey said that the decision to use the emergency lights was made by her driver -- the classic GOP responsibility dodge. Of course, one has to wonder, should Lt. Governor Healey become Acting Governor Healey in 2008, what other decisions will she avoid making?
