Come on in, Mr. President, the water’s fine (Howie Carr at his best alert)
Boston Herald ^ | August 22, 2010 | Howie Carr

Posted on 08/22/2010 6:22:44 AM PDT by Zakeet

Dear Barack:

Welcome to Massachusetts, or as you call it, Massa-TU-setts. Many of us think it’s one of the most beautiful of our 50 states - excuse me, 57 states.

First things first, Mr. President. Vacations are a time for family, and yours includes Auntie Zeituni. Do you know how neglected she feels up there in Southie in that sweltering Section 8 apartment?

She says, when the phone don’t ring, I know it’s Barry.

Here’s a suggestion: Call Sen. Kerry. You may have heard - his second wife’s first husband’s trust fund just bought the senator a new boat. Liveshot could sail The Botched Joke to Boston, pick up Auntie Zeituni at the Dorchester Yacht Club and bring her back to the islands. Maybe he and Mama T would even invite you over to Nantucket for dinner. From Brant Point, he could point out to you where Deval’s wind turbines will be going up to destroy the view.

[Snip]

There’s a lot more to see on Martha’s Vineyard than the usual tourist traps. Think Chappaquiddick. I shouldn’t have to explain its historical significance, even to someone like yourself, who thinks they speak “Austrian” in Austria.

You know, even your network sycophants have grown tired of your overuse of the analogy about how the Republicans drove the economy into a ditch. Maybe, but now you’re in the driver’s seat and you’re taking it over a cliff. So when you get to Chappaquiddick, check out the rebuilt dike bridge. It’ll remind you that worse things can happen to a ’67 Oldsmobile Delmont than plunging into a ditch.

Swimming may be a problem this week. Tisbury Great Pond apparently looks a lot like your economy - contaminated with large amounts of excrement and other smelly floating things.

Yes Barnes Airport....

The Comrades of the peoples socialist republik of Massganistan can no longer afford going to Nantucket and the Vineyard, where as these shows are Free. What would you rather see, Thunderbirds or Blue Angels or Michelle licking an Ice Cream Cone :-)....

“Thunderbirds or Blue Angels or Michelle licking an Ice Cream Cone :-)....”

One of those activities is dangerous for everyone involved.

Must have been at Westover.

According to the Wise Wee Wee, it's Massa-TU-sens, and Tim Cahill is a former
Rat now running as an independent for Gov-a-nah of the Peoples Republic.

Obama picked the perfect week to visit New England. Gale warnings are up, as we finally get a drought-busting drenching rain today through Tuesday.

It’s a dreary day today with the rain - but I’m loving it because those on the Vineyard will just have to mope around the rental.

Thanks! I used to call in to Howie from time to time... (I was the guy who "scooped" the "Rev'runn uh Jascksunn" "love chid" story to Howie -- before Drudge went live with it on his site...)

BTW, I surfed around, and am listening to one of Howie's "archived" shows right now! '-)

BTW & FWIW -- is "Marty" still calling in to Howie's show? (We've been "escaped from our MA exile" nearly nine years -- and Marty was getting on in years before we left MA...)

Westover? There's a spot where the south end of the main runway backs right up to the Pike. I lucked out and got a close look at two A-10s doing their runup before takeoff -- from the Pike -- on one of our drives out to Tanglewood...

(Tanglewood picnics/concerts -- another thing I do miss about MA...)
