The hardworking staff’s rare midday post on Thursday, which detailed New York Times op-ed bridesmaid Gail Collins’ drive-by snarking of Martha Coakley, went up before we caught that day’s Boston Globe Coakley-palooza.

Page One headline about Martha’s Mulligan Tour:

Unopposed Coakley goes all out

Does the meet, greet she’d been accused of shunning

Yeah but graf:

She remains stung by the impression that many voters formed during her Senate campaign — that she was aloof, that she took them for granted, and that she didn’t want it badly enough.

But wait – there’s more. Globe op-ed columnist Joan Vennochi also jumped on the Coakley Express Thursday, albeit in a less upbeat fashion.

Headline:

For Coakley, a lonely reinvention

Vennochi’s yeah but graf:

She was lampooned on “Saturday Night Live’’ and ripped apart in post-mortems that used words like complacency, entitlement, and incompetence to describe her failed strategy. Hell hath no fury like a political party scorned by the electorate. Massachusetts Democrats are still bitter over the GOP win and they still blame Coakley for running a poor campaign.

But never accused her of being “unpleasant.”

Gail Collins, take note.
