Brian McGrory

Our political storm troupers

And here I thought that it was only my television brethren and jacked-up weathermen who sacrificed their self-respect in the name of every aberrant weather system that comes our way.

Now we learn there’s another profession that’s just as willing to dispense with dignity in the name of momentary opportunity, and we’ve seen it this week in spades. I bring you, ladies and gentlemen, your storm-ready politicians.

Stick to bashing NStar, they deserve it!

Brown does look dreamy in a windbreaker. And leave the poor good looking man alone! Why should he debate that ugly looking female woman? Shouldn't she be home making dinner or something?

What was the point of of "Troupers" versus "Troopers"- Did Globe software block "Stormtrooper"?

I get it- like an acting troupe- though I have to admit I had to look it up to see it was spelled differently from troop. Awkward usage

Maybe Brown was out there looking for his buddy Jeff Perry...now there's a pair to draw to.
