LOWELL -- Senator J. James Marzilli Jr. used the name of a fellow lawmaker when he was arrested Tuesday for allegedly trying to grope a woman on a park bench, telling police he was Martin Walsh, who is a state representative from Dorchester, a prosecutor said today in court. Police threatened Marzilli with pepper spray after a foot chase through downtown Lowell  because he would not put his hands above his head, according to a police report read in court by prosecutor Richard M. Mucci. Marzilli, 50, initially told officers his name was Martin Walsh, he lived in Medford, and was born in 1958. However, he soon revealed his true identity and told police, "you don't understand ... I'm a state senator.'' "The defendant began to cry," Mucci said, reading from the police report. "He said they could not arrest him, that his life was over." 

Listen I ain’t mad at this guy for groping a chick and blaming it on the guy from Dorchester. I mean who hasn’t done that?    But on a park bench in Lowell?  That is very unsenatorial.  Do me a favor and leave the park bench assaults to the bums and deranged people. Seriously you’d think a Senator would be smart enough to know that you always grope girls in crowed places like the subway or a club so they don’t even know what happened.  It’s kind of tough to justify voting for a guy who isn’t smart enough to figure this out.  I mean how are you going to get a Casino built in MA if you can’t even grab a chick’s ass without getting caught?
