Old people heckle Healey

Make sure to take an hour to watch tonight's gubenatorial debate. This is actually the second debate on the schedule today. The first, sponsored by AARP, didn't go so well for Kerry Healey:

At one point, the group of 700 senior citizens with canes and gray hair drowned out Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey with boos as she tried to criticize Democratic candidate Deval Patrick on taxes.

"You will see your taxes go through the roof if you have a Democrat in the corner office, Democrats in both the House and the Senate," Healey said before being cut off by boos from the crowd.

It's too bad this morning's debate wasn't on TV. I'd have enjoyed seeing Healey get booed by a room full of seniors shaking their canes at her.
