Patrick Passes Buck: "The Committee" will work through this

Crossposted to BMG - after further thought, I should not be crossposting to BMG.

Deval Patrick today showed the hubris which will be his undoing.  When asked by Janet Wu, if he would take down the website, Deval Patrick passed the buck.

"We urge the governor to take down the site for the moment and work very quickly with the secretary of state's office to insure that victims' identities, that individuals' identities are protected," said Toni Troop, of Jane Doe Inc.

Patrick, however, tried to put an arm's length between himself and the political debate.

"Well, I think the committee should work through those concerns as I say, and I'm confident they will," Patrick said.

"Would you recommend to them they take this off for now and follow the suggestions of the secretary of state and Jane Doe Inc.?" Wu asked.

"I think the committee will work through these issues, and I'm confident that they will," Patrick said.

The committee said it will not take the site down, but said that it is making further adjustments.

This is unacceptable behavior.  Governor Patrick is the Deval Patrick committee.  First he doesn't realize that he is the Governor at all times when he made the Ameriquest Call.  Then he doesn't take responsibility for his own committee.  If he let this site go out without test driving it, then he was grossly negligent. 

As I said earlier today and yesterday, this is the  worst screw up yet, and the hubris continues.

May I suggest a book by Democratic Strategists James Carville and Paul Begala, Mr. Governor. Buck Up, Suck Up . . . and Come Back When You Foul Up: 12 Winning Secrets from the War Room it has a whole chapter on how to deal with controversy, and Governor, your way ain't it.

Update: The Patrick Committee finally addressed the issues on the website.  You now have to give your name and address to sign up.  Or you can sign up anonymously.  If you want to be truly anonymous, use a site such as www.10minutemail.com to get a temporary email account for sign in purposes. 

Further Update: Only initials are shown for users.  It looks like they finally got the message.  If he knew they were doing this why didn't he just say that when Janet Wu asked?

The sneer on hs face as he parroted the same response to Janet Wu over and over spoke far more than his sparse words did!

He is unbelievable.  I'm almost ready to construct an open letter to Mike Dukakis post for ever claiming that Deval was the next Mike Dukakis.  Mike Dukakis was a progressive, and I didn't agree with his policies, but even HE wasn't this incompetent.

Mickey may have been deluded at times, but by God, he took the subway in from Brookline, and walked the walk, if you know what I mean.
