Of course the The Boston Globe story failed to mention the party affiliation of the corrupt former House speaker. I would claim this was media bias for Democrats, but a simpler explanation would be that if you are a corrupt politician in Massachusetts, it is assumed you are a democrat.
Noting that DiMasi was the third Massachusetts House speaker in a row to be convicted in federal court, Wolf also said he was disturbed that DiMasi still had support from some lawmakers who felt he had done nothing wrong. Wolf said he felt the case showed that corruption was a regular occurrence on Beacon Hill.
DiMasi had no comment after the hearing. He stood by as his lawyer, Thomas Kiley, said, “A chapter is closed. We’re happy to be past it. The next chapter in this judicial proceeding will be in the First Circuit [federal appeals court in Boston]. That’s all we have to say.”
