Defending the hacks

One of the most despicable members of the Massachusetts House of Representatives is James Fagan of Taunton. This was the guy who, during a 2008 debate on Jessica's Law, said:

"I'm gonna rip them apart," Fagan said of young victims during his testimony on the bill. "I'm going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined, that when they’re 8 years old, they throw up; when they’re 12 years old, they won’t sleep; when they’re 19 years old, they’ll have nightmares and they’ll never have a relationship with anybody.”

Now he has come out passionately defending the hacks the right to have 13 holidays a year. 13! How many paid holidays do you get? I am guessing 9 if you're lucky. But Fagan sees no problem with state employees getting 13 days off, including Bunker Hill Day and Evacuation Day. Add this to their sweet pensions, insurance for life, vacation days, sick days, etc, etc, etc.

During his defense of these holidays in a recent debate, he got his history all messed up. He called the Battle of Bunker Hill the first battle of the Revolutionary War and said Henry Knox was the first "treasurer." For the record, the first battle of the war was Lexington and Concord and Knox was the first Secretary of War.

Get this guy out.
