Mayor Thomas M. Menino yesterday wasn’t ready to rip a page from President Obama’s playbook and offer a prominent City Hall post to his vanquished rivals Michael Flaherty and Sam Yoon.

“It’s not a priority right now,” Menino said when asked whether he would bring Flaherty or his unofficial running mate into his administration as Obama did with his Democratic opponent, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

From what I have heard about Menino he is one to really hold a grudge. So I think it is safe to say that Flaherty and Yoon will not be offered any kind of position by the Mayor. In fact I think it is ludicrous that the Herald is even suggesting it. A total joke! LOL.

If Flaherty or Yoon ever accepted any kind of a position from Menino they would immediately lose the respect of thousands.

TELL KINEAVY I DON'T WANNA SEE HIM BACK AT CITY HALL TIL HE SHAVES THAT GODDAMN BEARD.

NICE WIN FOR THE MAYOR. CONGRATS.

ANY TRUTH TO THE RUMOR THAT RAYBO FLYNN AND MEL KING HAVE TAKEN AN APARTMENT TOGETHER ON DOT AVENUE?

THE BASEBALL TAVERN WILL BE CONDOS BY APRIL.

DON CHOFIARO WILL BE BUILDING IN WORCESTER.

COMCAST WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE CABLE OF CHOICE

FIREMEN WILL BE DRUG TESTED, AND IN A REMARKABLE MOMENT OF CLARITY, OUST EDDY KELLY.

THEY WILL REALIZE HOW MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE LOST, NOT TO MENTION DIGNITY OVER THE PAST YEAR.

MARTHA COAKLEY WILL GET ELECTED

DAVID SARGENT WILL HIT THE LOTTERY

Sure BabyFlats and Yoon the Loon will have positions in the 5th Menino administration - in a parallel universe where government is responsive, fiscally restrained and free of moonbats - they'd be janitors at City Hall.
