Howie Carr live thread and column

Did you hear former Michigan gov. Mitt Romney has announced for President? What...you said he was former gov. of _Mass._? Oh...OH! Now I remember. "I love this job!," he said, as he decided not to run for re-election. Didn't make the announcement in Boston--oh well, I know he has his reasons.

Howie Carr live thread. today was the first day for felon Finneran on air. John Kerry is due to be a guest on "Finneran Forum" and it was suggested he be asked if he hates Howie.

The hack du jour is Larry Trapasso, a Worcester election commissioner and former $77,000-a-year executive assistant to State Auditor Joe DeNucci. Translation: He was DeNucci’s back-up driver and go-to guy in Worcester. Here are the headlines of some of the stories last week in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette about Trapasso: “Bribery investigation . . . Corruption flap flares unabated . . . Probation orders at heart of probe.” Trapasso was on DeNucci’s payroll for nine years, but this time the 67-year-old auditor managed to stay ahead of the corruption curve, firing Trapasso May 17. In a brief interview Friday,...

Howie due to broadcast live from the Harp in Boston today
-
Mitt Romney - he was privately against George W. Bush’s early tax cuts before he was publicly for them. He was also for gay rights before he was against them, and he supported campaign finance reform before he denounced it. Not to mention he was pro-choice before he was pro-life. He wouldn’t sign the local no-new-taxes pledge in 2002 before he signed Grover Norquist’s national one in 2007. Look, I like Mitt, but don’t you get the feeling that among the rank-and-file GOP primary voters, he’s slowly morphing into the Republican John Kerry? Maybe that’s unfair - Mitt made his...

Attorney General Martha Coakley, I implore you: Don’t plea-bargain with the Turner terror tots. Whatever you want to call them - Beavis and Butthead, Cheech and Chong - these two knuckleheads deserve jail time. You already shook down Time Warner for $2 million, which was a good start. But to finish the job, you have to lock up these two freelance (read: unemployed) “performance artists,” if only for a month. I’m not encouraged by the fact that sources say you’ve been sitting on the smoking gun since Friday. I’d hate to see you pull a Tom Reilly and broom this...

Reagan's Birthday to be declared national holiday. Just kidding. Howie Carr live thread. What's in the news today? The AstroNut Borat and Beavis filmed frantic bomb hoax response Gay marriage supporters to straights: bear children or get YOUR marriage annulled...

You’re Rep. Marty Meehan, and you were supposed to be in Miami today, basking in the Super Bowl XLI glow from YOUR New England Patriots. You had your reservations, dammit, but then something happened in Indianapolis, and now you’re back in Lowell. And on Friday in Boston you had a job interview - you, Marty Meehan, the congressman with the biggest campaign war chest of all 435 members of the House. Five million bucks. You’ve got so much cash they call you “Midas” Meehan, and now you’re interviewing for the job of chancellor of UMass-Lowell. When it comes to golden...

Howie Carr live thread. Including today's Herald column, plus maybe Howie will talk about the Biden remark about Obama, and: Bad times at the Globe.

Howie Carr live thread. It's poss. Boston listeners may have to turn to WCRN 830 or another source for his last half hr tonight; read in Herald that Celts game in Toronto starts at 7 and there would be a half hour pregame show on WRKO. Howie's column for today Cellucci endorsing Guiliani, not Romney. I think Terry McAuliffe is on the show today

Howie Carr live thread. (Interesting post on Scott Allen Miller's blog, which is linked to WRKO, today: "Echoes of Cellucci? "I have become aware of a story about Governor Deval Patrick that is about to break. I can't share it with you now because it's embargoed but I so want to. It's the first scandal of his administration. It's not a huge one, though, and it will be explained away by his sycophants and spinners as an honest mistake. Even if it is, will Patrick do what's right to make proper amends for this supposedly honest mistake? Stay tuned (now...

Is it too late for Billy Bulger to become the headmaster of a New England prep school? Didn’t you always think of these headmasters, if you thought of them at all, as old, musty, crusty Yankee types, in bow ties and cuffed pants, prattling on about “honor” at the Somerset Club? No mas, baby. Running a prep school is a big-money job, and it’s not just for guys anymore either. Last weekend the Wall Street Journal ran a story about the skyrocketing salaries. And one of the top “earners,” to use the mob terminology so familiar to the Bulgerites who...

Howie Carr live thread. Wonder if he'll talk about the incident of a Mass. family being tossed off a plane bound from Fla. to MA because of a crying toddler? AirTran...formerly ValuJet (cue the sound of the alligator chomp...'96 crash into Everglades...)

Patriots get a jump start on their golf game.

Who really wants to save a U.S. House seat for Massachusetts? You gotta be kidding. The best thing that could happen for America would be for the commonwealth to shed several districts, and it’s a damn shame we can’t cede one of our two Senate seats as well. But if the hacks truly want to inflate the state’s plummeting population by rounding up thousands of illegal aliens, it shouldn’t be difficult. First place to check is the hospital emergency rooms. They’re the ones with translators, and a lot of them will be wearing neck braces from the phony auto accidents...

A former state rep with a dodgy past is back in the news, with “unhappy customers” calling the local cops and the district attorney’s office - stop me if you’ve heard this one before. This time it’s a one-term boob named Mark Howland, a retired trout farmer who was elected in 2002 after his opponent, an ex-con named Jailbird George Rogers, was ensnared in a probe involving gay pornography (450 videos) and a male teenager whom he was, ahem, advising. Stop me if you’ve heard that one before. The only difference between the Rogers scandal and so many others in...

26 degrees at 12:45 pm in Beverly--twice as high as yesterday! Global warming! Also: think I heard Art Buchwald died; was he in death pool?

Up to 11 degrees right now in Beverly--all right, double digits! More like 3 above earlier. I _LOVE_ global warming!

The Beautiful Person is back from his 4 day weekend in Florida. Max Robins in 5 pm hour.

Now is the time to drop a dime. In state government, it’s back to the future, or actually Bulgaria. Moonbats rule. Ponytails are in; work experience is out. Co-workers have been replaced by comrades. And comrades, if you want to make $125,000, it pays to have experience filing death-row appeals for vicious killers. Just ask, most recently, the state’s new homeland security czarina. The ancient regime is scattered. In the tradition of all losing local candidates, Muffy Healey has set up shop at Camelot High, aka the JFK School of Government. And Mitt, shorn of his armed state police escort,...

Listen to me, Tom Finneran. I’ll always be there for you when you have a problem at WRKO. Think of me as your probation officer. Whenever you’re gripped with an overwhelming state-rep urge to, say, steal a hot stove, come to Mr. Carr. Consider me the ankle bracelet you should be wearing. And incidentally, keep your sticky felon fingers off my headphones in the studio. I have the phone number in Judge Stearns’ lobby, pal. You could still end up on the Bureau of Prisons (BOP.gov) Web site under “Inmate Locator.” It would be easy to make jokes about this...
-
Howie live thread. A press conference was aired on WRKO re: the new morning show with Tom Finneran. Start date will be Feb 12. Scott Allen Miller will continue in his current slot until then and he may wind up elsewhere at Entercom after his show ends. Finneran says the show will feature everything from politics to sports (oh, the press conference just ended and the first caller said it was a sad day for the station, and the caller said Finneran was an "arrogant, condescending, liar"). I think it was said Finneran might appear on Howie's show later today...

Howie Carr live thread. NorthEast Radio Watch reports that "WKBK (1290 Keene NH) shuffled its talk lineup...dropping Howie Carr's afternoon show." Drat--maybe those listeners can try to pick up WCRN 830 Worcester or another affiliate?
-
Tommy Finneran always thought he was the smartest guy in the State House. But yesterday, the former speaker started crying as he cops a plea at the federal courthouse, and this was all he has to say in his own defense. I was an idiot. I was a bad boy, a very bad boy. I am very, very sorry. And then he started choking up, and blubbering, and melting into a puddle, and from now on you can just call him Boo Hoo. You had to wonder, what would he have done if he’d been handed some real prison time,...

(We'll just do the Howie Carr live thread from this column post! Death pool today.--RR) Let the record show, there was a full moon Wednesday night. Perfect weather, in other words, for moonbats, and that’s who was out in force yesterday on Beacon Hill. Gov. Deval Patrick was sworn in, and as he does every four years, Secretary of State Bill Galvin got to yell out, “God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!” Some years that phrase resonates more than others. Yesterday was one of those days. If you listened to the entire 17 minutes or so, you don’t have to...

Mass. gets its first black governor, and the first Dem to be elected to that office since Dukakis in '86. If you liked Pee Wee, you'll love Urkel.

Howie column below (about gay marriage vote). Also live thread for today's Howie Carr show.

Mitt Romney expected to file papers to run for Pres. tomorrow not today (because of day of mourning for Pres. Ford)...will the MA legislature vote to allow a vote on banning gay marriage? I wouldn't expect a death pool today but who knows.
-
How long till we stop writing "'06" on our checks, Mr. Speakah? How many more checks will have the wrong year on them? Not sure if Howie is live today; I have a hunch it's a best of, or a fill-in. We'll find out at 3.
-
Howie's on vacation in Florida this week and Avi Nelson is filling in. Below, I'll reprinting some responses to a thread on Dem. Underground about Air America leaving Boston. (I won't steal from PJ-Comix' franchise of DUmmie FUnnies by commenting on them...) Schadenfreude!

Suzanne Magaziner, she of the broomed OUI case, surely sends out an annual Christmas - excuse me, ‘holiday’ - letter every year. It’s such a Beautiful Person thing to do. Imagine how this year’s edition might begin. Not for Mrs. Ira Magaziner the traditional cliche about how the year has “flown by” or “Where does the time go?” No, I see her employing yet another tired but slightly literary cliche: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Our hero, Deval, prevailed. But I, a graduate of Harvard Law School, was pulled over after a mere...

Today's Howie Carr column follows. Howie's last show of this year is today--I believe he's taking all of next week off to go to Florida (including a Christmas Day gig on Fox and Friends, IIRC). Maybe fill-ins and best ofs next week. WRKO listeners: I've heard Mo Lauzier is scheduled to play Jerry Williams' reading of A Child's Christmas in Wales tomorrow (Sat 23rd) between 9 and 10 am. I don't know if Howie would play it though he may have in the past. (It's 22 minutes long)

Shortest day of the year. Liberal talk radio in Boston won't be down for breakfast (except maybe on WBUR) as 1200/1430 switched to espanol today at noon. Hasta la victoria!

Howie Carr live thread. Still going strong in Boston and elsewhere, while Air America sleeps with the fishes (in Boston at least) tomorrow at noon.

Something’s missing from Gov. Mitt Romney’s Christmas card. The word “Christmas.” Oh sure, no Beautiful Person has dared use the word Christmas on a “holiday” card for years. The word disappeared from official White House greetings in 1983 - when Ronald Reagan, of all people, was president. But Mitt is running for president as THE conservative candidate. What might get him pulled over by the PC Posse in Cambridge would surely make him wildly popular in, say, Des Moines or Spartanburg. But no. Instead we have the politician’s traditional adorable family (with Mitt in an inexplicable purple shirt) and inside,...

So now there is proof of what we have long suspected: Deval Patrick (incoming Dem. MA gov.) and his crew of moonbats don’t have sense enough to come in out of the cold. What a marvelous idea. Let’s have the governor’s inauguration outside. In the first week of January! The climate’s always so accommodating around here in early January. So why are the legislators so concerned about the frigid weather? Anyone who voted for Deval would be glad to talk to them about global warming. And talk to them, and then talk to them some more. Plus, it’s not like...
