O'Malley

It would appear to me that the best thing that O'Malley,  former governor of Maryland, could do, is lock himself away for a couple of days to watch HBO's, "The Wire." O'Malley is obviously  based on Carsetti, the mayor of "The Wired" or is Carsetti based on O'Malley. The mayor, Carcetti, could make good speeches, promise all kinds of things. He didn't do s..t. (Well, typical politician) our fault, we keep putting the Carsetti/O'Malleys in office. 

Everything was politics. In "The Wire," the moment he was elected Mayor, he started his campaign for governor. The fact that Baltimore was overrun by drugs, a poor educational system, corruption everywhere, those are just sidebars to getting elected. A beleaguered police department trying to carry out Carsetti's zero tolerance, mainly for the "midgets" at the lowest levels of the drug trade,
while leaving the kingpins alone. Only stats mattered. 

Carsetti (O'Malley)'s polices eventually produced a police dept of cops who gave up, reduced to doing nothing and waiting on retirement. "The Wire" should be required rewatching or maybe a new title--How to f..k up continually--leave it to politics. . 

What amazes me about a guy like O'Malley is that he has a gigantic pair (don't make me explain "pair"). All I see O'Malley brings to the table is that he sings and plays in a rock band.
