By Noah Bierman and Martin Finucane, Globe Staff
Governor Deval Patrick struck a disappointed tone today as he commented on Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomass decision not to attend a White House event earlier this week honoring the Stanley Cup champions.
Hes a phenomenal hockey player and hes entitled to his views, but it just feels to me like were losing in this country basic courtesy and grace, Patrick said.
I didnt think much of President Bushs policies two wars on a credit card, prescription drug benefit that we couldnt afford, deficit out of control but I always referred to him as Mr. President. I stood when he came in the room, Patrick said in his monthly appearance on the Ask the Governor segment on WTKK-FM.
There are rules to live by so I dont want to make more of this than is deserving. I guess Id prefer to pay more attention and offer more commentary when there are acts of grace as opposed to the reverse, he said, moving onto the next topic.

(397 posts)However, in this article the person explicitly mentioned policies, so why would you attribute it to race? Did I miss something?

Mark Chummura (sp) from Green Bay also refused to go and visit Clinton on "moral grounds", before he got nicked trying to shag his under-age baby-sitter...
