When you're Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, even getting a flu vaccination can be political, especially when it comes during a measles outbreak that has cast a harsh light on two presidential contenders accused of trying to appeal to vaccine doubters..
Malloy's office released a photo of the governor getting a flu shot Friday at the State Capitol. In a brief interview, the Democrat then unloaded on U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who held forth recently on the issue of vaccines.
"You couldn't watch TV or read a paper and not understand that Rand Paul and Gov. Christie have stepped all over themselves trying to appeal to the folks who deny that the world is anything but flat," Malloy said.
Paul linked vaccines to mental disorders. Christie said he favored allowing parents latitude over whether their children should be vaccinated, while hastening to add his own children received the full array of shots recommended by physicians.

I've liked Dan Malloy since the first time I met him about six years ago - he has a "rapier-like wit" and holds nothing back.
