My cup runneth over with schadenfreude

Remember when I said the Big Dig in Boston was the “pinnacle of Democratic pork, patronage, and poor planning?” Well, it looks like a huge embarrassment is taking shape for the Democratic National Convention in July. From the Boston Globe’s “Conflicts mar Boston convention”:

Boston's political and business leaders worked hard to win this convention, wooing the Democratic National Committee with the promise of a smooth team, prepared to deliver an enthusiastic and inviting city as a backdrop for Democrats. Since then, civic pride seems to be taking a back seat to more-traditional Boston concerns such as political turf wars, nailing contracts for friends of the mayor, and using the upcoming convention as leverage in union negotiations.

And they want to run the country….
