Gov. Deval Patrick’s new-media director, Brad Blake (@bradmblake), tweeted this unbelievable nugget today:

$50 on Craigslist

Just learned my boss @massgovernor doesn’t have AC at home. Not even window unit.

Good God, man! You can buy a window unit in great condition on Craigslist for $50. The seller is in Cambridge and offering free delivery!

The AP files this writethrough:

Patrick told listeners on WTKK-FM on Wednesday that he and wife Diane have thought about air conditioning, but always decide against it because they need it only two or three days a year. But, he says, “when those two, three days come, it’s tough.”

Maybe the winds of the Great Blue Hills cool down his colonial mansion…
