Politicians Unite in Song

Politicians have many talents - talking a long time without saying anything, convincing people to give away large sums of cash, and throwing lavish parties. Singing isn't usually considered their strong suit.

That didn't stop NECN from pulling together several Massachusetts politicians to sing the "12 Days of Christmas" in a hilarious, largely tone-deaf montage.

Big guns like Ted Kennedy, Mayor Menino, and Deval Patrick good-naturedly sang their hearts out. Mitt Romney even turned out to look more human before he announces his plans to run for president.

But the best part of the political "12 Days of Christmas" was the return of Patrick's gubernatorial rivals - Christy Mihos and Grace Ross. Bostonist has always maintained that Mihos deserves his own reality show, and any appearance by Grace Ross is sure to annoy John DePetro.

But one politician ducked out of the holiday sing-a-long. Kerry Healey was nowhere in sight. She never seemed to have much of a sense of humor, so she probably wouldn't be up for any fun, anyway.
