DiMasi is resigning as speaker and quitting the General Court entirely.  Good riddance.  I’d like to publicly admit that I was wrong when I wrote about DiMasi earlier this month.  I thought he’d only quit after his indictment.

I still think he’s going to be indicted.  I was wrong about the order of events.

Now all eyes turn to the Democratic caucus.  Which ethically-challenged candidate, Rogers or DeLeo, will succeed DiMasi?  I can’t say that I care.  Let’s hope a third, clean candidate appears.
