Mayor Thomas M. Menino has again made history, extending his streak as the city’s longest serving mayor by winning an unprecedented fifth consecutive term, deflecting scathing campaign trail criticism and decisively rolling over challenger Michael Flaherty.

“To my campaign leadership, all the staff, hundreds of volunteers, thank you for spreading our positive message and for turning Beantown into greentown,” Menino said last night, referring to his green campaign signs.

The voters of Boston have spoken and they want the firefighters to sober up and Paul Adams to shut the bleep up.

Hey Ed Kelly looks like you'll have to sober up. People saw through the Unions and the hack that Flaherty is.
