Ex-govs on stage

Mike Dukakis wows Charlie on the MTA at a confab last evening involving former governors talking about Massachusetts:

... He's still got his fastball -- and it's a Mariano Rivera cutter that cleaves bats in two.

Dukakis couldn't make his contempt for the current governor's reign any more obvious: He tweaked Romney for his Iraq trip; and a back-and-forth with Cellucci on housing yielded this zinger:

CELLUCCI: The problem is zoning and building codes --
DUKAKIS (muttering): The problem's in Iraq. ...

Matt Margolis attended as well, and allows as how, yes, Dukakis was the best of the bunch, although he also found Jane Swift particularly well spoken.
