Finneran Asks For A Pardon

[Dave Tomm]

Plus the fact that the previous 4 Republican governors (Weld, Celucci,  
Swifty and Mittens) all wrote letters of recommendation to the  
Republican president asking for the pardon.  If it happens, will Howie  
call out all those GOoPers that went to bat for Tommy?  I tend to  
think not.  He'll figure out a way to blame it on Gov. Patrick or Sal  
Demacey...

A pardon could restore his state pension as well as his law license,  
which would make it much easier for him to walk away from WRKO once  
his deals up, if not sooner.  Maybe that's why Entercom only signed  
him to a one year extension.  I'm sure they want him to get the pardon  
as much as he does!
