Week In Review
Mitt Romney’s rivals made hay of his unfortunate – but decidedly out-of-context – comment that he’s “not concerned about the very poor,” calling it further evidence that he’s an “out-of-touch member of the one-percent.” The Susan G. Komen breast cancer advocacy group pulls funding for Planned Parenthood and gets an earful. And, all of Boston – past and present – paused this week to pay tribute to Kevin White. The four-term Boston mayor died last Friday at the age of 82. Plus, from the hype – to the half-time show – we’ve got a potpourri of Super Bowl themed “thumbs up, thumbs down.”
Guests:
Dave Wedge, Boston Herald
Terence Burke, public affairs professional at Denterlein
