The further advenures of Mitt the Clueless

When we last left our hero he was visiting the T to demonstrate how completely on-the-job he is about our safety, and in doing so once again demonstrates his own haplessness. Remember GW Bush and the price scanners? Well, Mittens has no idea what a T ride in his own city costs.

Linda Robins, 42, a sausage vendor at Park Street station, listened to the governor.

"The reason he has all these people," she said, gesturing toward Romney's aides, "is he doesn't know where the subway is. I wouldn't mind, but he never takes the train. Dukakis used to take the train."

And this should give you an idea of the prevailing Boston attitude towards the guv.

The rest of Romney's day didn't go quite as planned, either. First, a homeless man harassed him on the way to the Park Street T, loudly demanding at the news conference: "Are you running for president?" Later came the "cat lady" -- Heidi Erickson, locally infamous for allegedly hoarding cat carcasses in her Beacon Hill apartment -- who screamed, "You killed my cats," and scuffled with transit police as Romney spoke at Park Street Station.
