Talk host Howie Carr has launched a website, Fatboy.cc, devoted to the long career of the Swimmer. Complete with pictures, sound clips, merchandise, and Fatboy's favorite quotes.
Have family fun by playing the sound cuts and doing your own Wizard of Uh's contest. How many times does he say "Uh" in a given clip. (Don't be confused by "I-I-Is" or "the-the-the-thes", just "Uhs").
Senator of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts since the year of my birth, 1962. And up for re-election in '06.
HOWIE'S THE MAN!!!!!!!!
A couple days back in Beverly, MA, a drunk driver drifted over the center line of Bridge St. (after hitting two cars) and collided with a car driven by a young and promising woman. She died moments later. The man ran into a house and asked to be protected from the police because he didn't want to be arrested.
The house owner refused and the man fled. The drunk driver was picked up an hour later hitch-hiking; with a huge gash on his head, he was easy to recognize. The man (who has a repeat record of DUIs) is currently awaiting trial--he couldn't make bail of $75,000.
I thought, it reminded me somehow of something in Ted
Kennedy's life...though in Ted's case he got a slap on the wrist.
and we thank you for that, Little Bill ;-)
"Now, now, you listen to ME, Sean. you, you may think you have it but you don't interrupt ME when I'm talkin'"--
Ted Kennedy to Sean Hannity (Sean was interviewing Sen.
Hutchinson of Texas and she spotted Ted in the Senate cloakroom and put him on the phone)
Howie rocks, HOW MANY MORE MISTAH SPEAKA, HOW MANY MORE, LMAO!!!!!
Is there any chance in the world that the GOP might put up an effective challenger in 06?

I'd hate to think that the Mass GOP is conceding the race to Fatboy and won't even put a candidate up...
In 2000 he ran against Jack E. Robinson (GOP) and Carla Howell (Libertarian)(73 to 13 to 12 per cent). In '94, he defeated Mitt Romney (58-41). His opponent in '88 was Joe Malone
(won 66-34). In '82, the late Ray Shamie (61-38).
Who could run? Who might give him a good race?
The lives that they destroyed, I have met several of the victems, and they still worshop this scum. I was a Republican going into this contract and a solid hard corps Republican coming out of it.
I'd gamble on his cholestorol beating him before a pubbie.
I didn't expect to see a naked Jackie-O and a topless Caroline.

I always thought that his liver would fall out onto the ground at some point-how much booze can one guy down and still live?
Yes--Howie, better put up a disclaimer!
I got an email reply from the King of Fried Clams and Tar-Tar Sauce himself (Howie, not Ted) acknowledging that a "rated R" caveat might go up on that Kennedy Girls link!
Ah, one of life's great pleasures. Being able to listen to Howie every afternoon, and to read him in the Boston Herald.
His knowledge of the "Fat Boy", and other politicians is simply amazing.
Wait'll his book on the Bulgers comes out! Sadly it might not hit the bookstores for awhile.
