And he was pilloried for days. And for his racial. Insensitivity. Of using such is such a terrible tar."
" So I think John is trying to throw that big tar baby out there."
" This and just tar baby like Mitt Romney was talking about this here is a big tar baby."
" hard juvenile I guess you might say. You know an art. So. But you know what. Scoured the papers today and I did not see one single gallery of John Kerry liberal Democrat. The way.

That is most ridiculous thing I ever heard. This star David you will Leo bargain. -- put to John Kerry quotes together they're trying very hard to make an issue where -- early as the ones. Okay now we have another story here to go to there's a huge you so."
" Some of the story in the papers this morning. About the this this woman there -- there was the there was a heart change yesterday in Boston in the afternoon sir real police chase. Involving two women locked in a high speed domestic dispute the passengers screaming for help up a car window is the driver. Perilously crisscross traffic on the southeast expressway.

That's when the passenger a quote on quote panic stricken 41 year old woman from East Boston who during the chase had been screaming for help now through -- sell her body across house. Calling how's her. Wife. It. It was only after windows it would troopers smashed out the windows of house par with their but -- and blast that are in the face with pepper spray that house surrendered her grip on the wheel and could safely be subdued. Police and witnesses said they -- picture in the paper -- great pictures -- mark perfectly great job for our newspaper -- and pictures there's a great picture of the cops with their guns drawn pointing at this this woman turns out to weigh 300 pounds and as and it doesn't 98 rap -- in -- a picture of the with a woman whose car she was she was -- and there's a cop on top of protecting and the woman is obviously terrified out of her mind. Now that's all preface to what happened in court today. That. Yes yes exactly so here so here is what happened. Today and -- guys in Italy have -- I don't think you about the story for me the the most recent story but the what what happened was. Then she goes into court today she her lawyer or court appointed lawyer is trying to get. Bail the judge refuses to give Bailey and holder on dangerousness hearing this 300 pound woman who -- who caused all this havoc on the expressway yesterday. In a lawyer. Gets up and says.

" And then some element chase it started on the it's added a woman's -- an album as they can bridge screaming for help hanging out the window right."
" Elicit any about the drive I 93 regularly now that's just any other day unsightly. But. Don't mind that I I mean I'd that I personally -- which is that the kids you know this would not only in birds may be."
" you know what I was thinking about that -- after read it on the on The Herald dot com this afternoon yeah what's the Lindbergh baby the killers of the Lindbergh baby only kill only were interest in killing the alerts kidnapping the Lindbergh baby this woman could've killed. I don't know how many people if she had the shock."
" It's truly frightening to think I mean if it's one she was once -- away from roll over and hitting out on how many innocent people really kudos to those cops. The -- in the way they --"
" Is that what what irritates me -- is that the now the cops are are being criticized I mean that you don't we all know cases where we think the cops over react that are you know an additional. You know they -- there always being second guessed but in this case they had no choice they had this they had to stop this woman before she she she really hurt somebody -- there. It did this this lawyer is is criticizing them."
" It's in -- the one of them that was on the scene -- described it to me was if the pepper spray had not worked. They were just gonna have to you know start firing they had no other choice because she was so intent on getting yourself out of that situation."
" Yes sure sure kept. The woman if you haven't seen the paper it's -- that was on the website to Boston Herald dot com. You can see that you could see the woman. Who was in the in the car in front over the -- the kept getting Graham she she -- the cops pulled her out of the car got a behind him bed that barricade. So that they you know in case something in case the bullets did start fly. And you know it's it's just I don't know it's just amazing."
" Well this and it gets even stranger because. The victim in this case to at an -- getting a little adequate thought to not quite a white yeah actually that's beyond that."
" She went on -- of this 300 pound woman who was -- basically kidnapped yesterday."
" Right -- that a couple for eight years. Apparently or allegedly started with an argument over money."
" Eight years how many how many -- how many pages is house rap sheet."
" that's actually one left and -- rap sheet that doesn't include the civil restraining orders."
" Nine a nine page rap sheet that's that's a lot of stuff three watch everything street walking on my our god."
" And now supposedly too according to the reports that the interpret filed. This rampage continued on after the brought it to the hospital said that they would strap her down she was screaming racial words -- Hospital staff. Saying things I. And based state Alec not repeat to earth and -- that -- But the started saying that the victim in this case was came to court today in the defending her. And you know hit a bandage on her once which -- visible marks all of our."

" And they had to take her to the hospital so and I -- and it's on here we don't mark come problem. And she said from the police. And they asked -- she's accusing the police of brutalizing. Her girlfriend. According to her pistol whipping her."
" Pistol whipping all. Now. It's just I don't know how much you can do. Via blue and where the -- I assume that some of the cops were there at the right."
" I did not they might have been kind of plain clothes they did not see you any uniform."
" Yeah I didn't want to -- the cops think about what the cops thing now that they're being accused of overreacting. -- a popular media. I get a feeling quite confident in other situations and both."
" It's just irritating though it's irritating to me is a civilian government to have -- you know attacked like this have someone you don't think you that they could just play the play the police brutality card -- and get away with it."
" Well integrates sidelight to. To which you you know. We've all heard the on going argument about. With the which have police working details. Is a perfect example where you its state troopers nearby oddity in all. Right on scene left and were able to provide back up but who knows how that might help you know at the situation now."
" Police in Boston Police. Concerned citizen in Charlestown -- Boston Police about a -- from your story. This morning about a woman being battered in a moving car who appeared to be in danger and again you know. As as we were saying you know when -- when you're driving in he is in downtown Boston. You you don't call 911 for no reason I mean obviously this guy was whoever call was horrified by what he saw."
" No it in house attorney today she said that you know like. That -- they were having. It for whenever I can seek out someone might see that and thinks something else is going on there. I guess what this person. What is. Onion getting out of the car. Being hit by the car and how physically to branding her back into the car."

" Yahoo! I had over I think -- I think I could I -- made that decision today you'll you'll -- you're gonna stay in the behind. You know behind -- we don't have three strikes -- out Massachusetts but how about the about I don't know 607080. -- but that's OK so it's so the -- the cops are too worried about this but the the because the court appointed lawyer.
