He hopes to; his contract with RKO expires in the fall and last wk he went to Florida “looking for employment”. Once he is totally free of being emp. by RKO he’d like to set up a regional network—namely the stations he has now and then he can go to RKO about them carrying HIS network/Howie Carr show, too.
WRKO is the only all talk station in Boston itself. It’s poss. he could do the show from Fla. (his “southern command”?)
most or all of the time. No details yet.

As far as I know, the State House has never had a Mensa chapter. If a hack has an IQ of 100, he’s likely known to his colleagues as “the Per-fessor.” Overall, the solons’ collective intellect lights up the world like a three-watt bulb.
But even by the below-average standards of Beacon Hill, there have been a lot of bone-headed remarks made lately. We start with the attorney general, who was named Marsha Coakley by Patches Kennedy. Now Marsha appears to be channeling Patches’ brilliant rhetoric.
On April Fools’ Day, she was asked about the Jared Remy case, and this was her reply:
“It was a circumstance where from my experience in looking at the thousands of cases that we see every day not all of the things that happened in that case happen, but the kinds of things that happened in that case many of us have seen happen time and time again.”
Note the Patches-like repetition of a single word: happen. It’s a happening thing, if you’re Patches Kennedy.
This sound cut was picked up by a “tracker,” one of those rascally Republicans who will be following Marsha around from now until the election.
Marsha is a font of stupid sound bites. Recall, “Technically, it is not illegal to be illegal in Masssachusetts.”
It’s going to be a long summer for Marsha, and a lot of laughs for her trackers.
Next, come on down Rep. Benjamin Swan, D-Springfield. This is the guy who refers to MCI-Cedar Junction as “Walpool.”
One thing about Rep. Swan — the race card, he never leaves home without it. And he was waving it around Wednesday night during the minimum-wage debate.
“If we had been around when abolition of slavery was being debated, there would be those who told us that to eliminate slavery in America would lead to unemployment.”
Whatever you say, Ben …
Next we bring on Gov. Deval Patrick. In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man shall lead. Deval is the one-eyed man at the State House. His IQ is close to room temperature. After graduating from Harvard Law, it took him only three tries to pass the bar exam.
As Deval and his buddy Obama well know, there is no trouble so great that you can’t blame it on someone else, if not George W. Bush then the people of Massachusetts.
Defending the indefensible, last week Deval told a bunch of DCF social workers what the real problem is.
Not the incompetent Olga Roche, not foster parents with criminal records, not missing kids.
“Frankly,” the State House News Service quoted Deval as telling the staffers of DCF, “(it’s) a public that doesn’t understand the complexities of the population you serve, who look for simple answers; who look for short and quick answers, who look for a kind of a once-over-easy, put-it-back-in-the-box because it’s ugly and unattractive and complicated and difficult. ...”
Translation: It’s the Herald’s fault. It always is, isn’t it?
