New Healey Ads Link Patrick to Son of Sam, Challenger Explosion, Tsunami
BOSTON - With the gubernatorial election looming, Republican candidate Kerry Healey will launch a new round of ads that will link Democrat Deval Patrick to some of the horrible events of the last 30 years, BunkoSquad has learned.
One such ad, which has been leaked, shows a split-screen with Patrick on the left side, and footage of the 1986 Challenger explosion on the right. A female voice-over says, "America's children lost their innocence when the Space Shuttle blew up. And Deval Patrick can't account for his whereabouts that morning. Is this someone you want as Governor?"
A second ad claims that Deval Patrick went on several weekend trips to New York City in the summer of 1977, when the city was terrorized by the serial killer David Berkowitz, known as Son of Sam. Though Berkowitz has confessed and is serving a life sentence, the ad notes that the case is still offically open, and asks what Patrick isn't telling us.
These are only the first salvos in a barrage, promises a Healey staffer who wished to remain anonymous. Commercials linking Patrick to the 1979 Three Mile Island nuclear disaster, the 1989 World Series earthquake in San Francisco, and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami are in the works.
"This campaign is about the issues," said the unnamed staffer. "The people of Massachusetts deserve honest answers to questions like, 'Has Deval Patrick been manipulating undersea plate tectonics?' and 'Did Deval Patrick give Mark Chapman his copy of Catcher in the Rye?' Kerry Healey has stated for the record that she's against horrible things; Patrick won't come clean."
The Healey campaign has also disavowed a report that surfaced Monday in the Boston Herald which suggested that Deval Patrick visited New York's Attica State Prison and started the infamous 1971 riots. "We wouldn't leak that to the media," the anonymous tipster said. "We want to keep the focus on real issues that matter to real Massachusetts voters, like the fact that Deval Patrick hasn't publicly renounced any ties he may have to the late Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu."

Healey's ads are sickening. Her campaign has morphed. It started with her being the agent of change and bringer of new ideas - agent of change? let's see, hasn't she been Lt. Gov,?; bringer of new ideas? couldn't she at some point in the last few years walked down to Mitt's office and said, "Hey, I have this idea of how to improve things for the people of Massachusetts."?
Then it became a campiagn based on not having a Democrat as governor with a Democrat-led legislature.
Now her approach is pretty much to just attack Patrick with reprehensible campaign tactics.
I am not enrolled in any party, but there is absolutely no way that I will vote for someone who campaigns this way. My vote goes to Patrick. Thank you, Kerry Healey, for yet another campaign being tracked through the mud.
