Poor Howie

Yesterday brought one of the biggest stories in years -- the $100 million judgment against the federal government for the FBI's role in framing four men for the murder of Teddy Deegan -- on a subject that Howie Carr knows more about than just about anyone. That subject, of course, is organized crime in Boston. He's even written a book about it. You'd think that yesterday's news would have inspired Howie to dig a little deeper than usual and write a column that educates his readers, as his columns about organized crime almost always do.

But no. Sadly, Howie's knowledge of and interest in organized crime was apparently overcome by his peculiar obsession with Mike Dukakis. So, instead, Howie chose to write about Deval Patrick's widely-acclaimed nomination of Margot Botsford to the SJC. Blah blah Dukakis moonbat blah blah. You know the column -- you've read it a dozen times before.

What a disappointment. I was actually looking forward to reading Howie today.
