New Mass Senator some guy named Mo
2013-01-31
Interim Senate pick William “Mo” Cowan today vowed his political career would be short — and ruled out all future plans to run for office — as he prepares to take over for U.S. Sen. John Kerry for the next five months.
If only we coulda said the same thing about...Kerry.
Cowan, a close friend to Gov. Deval Patrick since he joined the administration in 2011, was PatrickÂ’s chief of staff and before that chief legal counsel. He stayed on as an advisor to Patrick after he left his post last year.
Ah. So he's a hack...
“This is going to be a very short career,” said Cowan. “I am not running for office. I’m not a candidate for public service at any time today or in the future.”
Nope. A nice cushy hack job. Maybe a six figure lobbyist. I'd settle for that...
Cowan is the first black senator to represent Massachusetts in more than 30 years, since Republican Sen. Edward Brooke held the seat.
Too bad, Barney. Go away now.

#7  Mr. Frank was, JohnQC. The lesson being, once one retires, all leverage is gone.

#5  I bet "Mo" leaves the Senate in 5 months a multi-millionaire.

#4  So he's a hack

Without the 17th Amendment, they all would be hacks representing interests of the machine that owned and operated the state back home.

#3  Ah. So he's a hack

Being a MA Democrat makes this a redundancy par excellence.

#2  Mo has performed additional duties as a minority recruiter and is a big pal of the Champ. I guess that about wraps it up.

Guess he couldn't come up with the payment.
