Keller's Top Local Turkeys Of 2008
BOSTON (WBZ) ―
This is my 17th year of choosing the year's top turkeys, and it may have been the toughest yet – especially when it came to narrowing down the field for the top local turkeys of 2008.
He's been turkey of the year before, but this year, Manny Ramirez outdid himself.
He
shoved a 60-year-old club employee to the floor during a dispute over tickets, picked a
fight with Kevin Youkilis, then
faked an injury and quit on the team when his contract's demands were not met.
Good riddance to this turkey.
Using civilian flaggers to direct traffic at work sites instead of expensive cops? They do it in 49 other states, but it's unacceptable here, according to off-duty Woburn cops who
harassed flaggers and obstructed traffic in an ugly incident that outraged taxpayers.
Remember them, officers? The ones who pay your salaries?
They were this year's twin poster boys for public corruption, Middlesex County official
John Buonomo, who was caught on tape relieving the office copier of its cash, and
Albert Arroyo, the Boston firefighter too hurt to work, but well enough to compete in a bodybuilding competition.
Smile, turkeys, you're on candid camera!
Who is
Clark Rockefeller, the Woody Allen look-alike who kidnapped his own daughter in Boston this summer?
He's certainly a conman, possibly a murderer, undoubtedly a narcissistic turkey.
But to find the year's worst local turkeys, we had to go south, to downtown Hartford, Connecticut.
They saw an
elderly man struck and badly injured by a hit and run driver in broad daylight, but none of them lifted a finger to help him.
This place is a regular turkey farm.
