Thread for election coverage and discussion for the Howie Carr Show, 2014.
Longtime talk host and Radio Hall of Famer Howie Carr writes for the Boston Herald and has a half dozen or so bestselling books about Whitey Bulger and other crime figures. He occasionally fills in for Mark Levin and Dennis Miller and his regular features include Ann Coulter, Max Robins, Police Blotter Friday, and The Chump Line.
Martha Coakley forgets her own memory loss
by Howie Carr on November 3, 2014
The polls open in 24 hours and Marsha Coakley and her coatholders are wringing their hands about Charlie Baker’s alleged memory lapses.
You gotta be kidding. I love the smell of flop sweat in the morning. This from a woman who less than two weeks ago said, on live statewide TV: “We are exploring ways to do a more graduated income tax.”
And then, a few days later, in another primetime debate, she claimed with a straight face (and absolutely vacant eyes), “I have not talked about raising taxes. I don’t think we have to do it.”
At which point, her perplexed opponent Charlie Baker pointed out that only a few days earlier, “You practically came out in support of a graduated income tax.”
“Charlie, that’s totally inaccurate,” she misspoke. “I absolutely deny that happened.”
There’s an old joke that if you want to hide something real good, just stick it in one of Marsha Coakley’s law books.
After all, this is the woman who once declared, “Technically, it is not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts.”
Like a rooftop weathervane spinning in a hurricane, she was against drivers’ licenses for illegal aliens before she was for drivers’ licenses for illegal aliens. Most recently when asked “yes or no” about the wildly unpopular proposal, she replied, “I don’t know yet.”
When Republicans try to get away with such nonsense, it’s called a flip-flop. Marsha, though, is protected by the gender gendarmes of the PC Posse. She’s merely growing, evolving, pivoting on this and all other issues, depending on the polls.
In their decision last June allowing the casino referendum question onto the ballot, the SJC unanimously ruled against Marsha. She had made the logic-defying argument that to allow the people to vote on the issue would violate the “property rights” of casino interests who had applied for a license, which rights they would forfeit once the approvals had been granted or rejected. Got that?
The unanimous verdict of the SJC, as written by now-Chief Justice Ralph Gants: “We reject this distinction and this departure from common sense.”
Even in Massachusetts, the fact that this woman has ever been elected to anything is in itself a “departure from common sense.”
Consider yet another of this campaign’s forums. She flatly told Charlie Baker to his face that she had not been attorney general in 2008. But she was. And now this incipient amnesiac is in high dudgeon over the fact that Baker apparently mixed up some details about a fisherman in New Bedford.
Marsha’s 11th-hour desperation is like the old law-school tale about how an attorney who has the law on his side pounds the law. If the lawyer has the facts on his side he pounds the facts, and if he has neither he pounds the table.
Behind in the polls, Marsha is way beyond pounding the table. She’s stamping her little feet and throwing a hissy fit and holding her breath until she turns blue. Little Miss Muffett can’t believe she’s striking out so she’s screaming at the ump that Charlie is throwing spitters.
Oops, bad analogy, baseball. This is a woman who thinks Curt Schilling pitched for the Yankees.
What were we talking about? I forget. Oh yeah, memory loss. Consider her non-prosecution of the state’s endless stream of corrupt House speakers, in this case Sal DiMasi. Greg Sullivan, the former inspector general, a Democrat who held a sign during the September primary for Marcia’s acolyte Maura Healey, says he went to Marsha in 2008. He informed her that her pal Sal was so crooked he needed a corkscrew to get into his trousers in the morning.
To which Sullivan says Marsha in effect replied, “Nothing to see here, son. Move along.”
This was in 2008, the year in which Chokeley cannot even remember being AG. But last week, she authoritatively recalled on live TV the imprisonment of Sal’s accountant, which never happened, as well as the state prosecution of a sleazy lobbyist pal of Sal’s, which ditto.
Despite this string of 2008 memory lapses, she categorically recalls never, ever telling Greg Sullivan to lay off her corrupt longtime crony, who is now doing a stretch in prison in Butner NC, inmate #27371-038. He’ll be in durance vile until Nov. 17, 2018. Wonder who Sal’s rooting for from his prison cell.
Don’t “forget” to vote tomorrow.
Pretty amazing, here we are right at the brink of knowing whether the USA continues or ends. I would say I can’t believe Americans would be stupid enough to allow that to happen, but then again they elected a radical Muslim as President twice. What I’m most concerned about is voter fraud and the Repub-Es doing nothing about it.
For those from other parts of the country wondering why Howie calls her “Marsha” Coakley instead of Martha, blame Patrick (son-of-Ted) Kennedy who apparently thought her first name was Marsha. Ted Kennedy also was a bit unclear on names, referring to a couple Dem lawmakers (one was Marty Meehan I think) as the “Mike McGuire (sic) and Sammy
Sooser (sic)” of Congress...
What’s happening Nov 17?
Howie Carr’s show has been syndicated by Entercom for years—he tried to leave in 2007 but was forced to stay by a judge’s order for 5 years. Then Entercom picked up his option for 2 more years. Finally, the contract is expiring right about now and Howie signed with a company called Global Media to syndicate his show.
It’s been said Nov 17 is the date Howie will begin his show under his own control and it’s said he’ll be doing it from the studios of The Financial Exchange/Money Matters. But I have heard WRKO balked at carrying the new show; Howie’s people wanted “hard cash and ad money”.
This means that Howie’s listeners may have to rely on stations like WCRN AM 830 Worc. and WXTK 95.1 on Cape Cod. I don’t know if another Boston station would pick him up (and he’d still be online of course, and on the other affiliates). And WRKO would probably do fill in hosts the rest of the year and debut a new host early
next year, not sure who.
The situation could change; maybe they could come to terms but it’s looking this way. Howie has mentioned on air things like “my new office mates” including Barry Armstrong of Fin. Exchange; “we’ll have different music as ‘bumpers’ (coming in and out of ads” etc
MRBIboredop posted on radio discussions Oct 21 (NOTE: Later he mentioned how he talked to Howie and Cathy Carr for 20 min and the Nov 17 date was mentioned):
>>my sources say Howie will be out of Guest Street in under 30 days, taking Nancy Shack with him an an undisclosed board op/producer to Barry Armstrongs studios
Howie will lease his own office space in the same building and use Barry’s facilities for production/programming. Newsmax has offered use of their Florida facilities for his use too.
>>It is my understanding he has sales execs lined up for northern and southern New England. He has affiliate agreements in place and is ready to go.
Interesting, thanks. I plan to pick him up streaming, I have dl’d some of his past shows, interesting guy.
Annette Teijeiro in Las Vegas could use some conservative media help.
Annette Teijeiro is within 1% here in Nevada CD1 (Las Vegas)!! After early voting results, it will all come down to how many Repubs come to the polls on Tuesday.
If you want someone who will shake things up in Nevada and Washington, help Annette Teijeiro in Las Vegas. As many know, I wrote Harry Reid’s only biography and know how corrupt he is (more than you can believe). If Dr. Annette gets in, my Harry Reid research finally gets a platform. This may be the best bang for the buck campaign to help in the nation.
I am working on the Annette Teijeiro Congressional campaign in Nevada (Las Vegas) against left wing Dina Titus. Dear Lord, we should be crushed in a heavily Democrat district, but we are less than half a point behind as we finish early voting.
It will all depend on every last Repub and conservative independent showing up at the end to push over the top. This is crunch time, time to raise the dead and go vote.
This would be a jaw dropping win, so if you know anyone in Las Vegas please give them a call, Facebook, email or tweet.
If Dr. Annette gets in we have a fearless advocate against Harry Reid, and Annette is smart as a tack. We received zero PAC money too, so we are beholden to no one. Think Michelle Bachmann on steroids.
Please call, tweet, Facebook, do whatever. People need to know how winnable this is.

"No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the Masshole voter." I think Coupe Deval said that.
O yeah. Sorry about your Mumbles, Massholes. I was just beginning to understand him, too.
I listen to Howie now on my computer. Will I still be able to do that?
Yes. You’ll just have to get the stream from another station. Like raccoon says, the Worcester station will still carry Howie.
Definitely. TuneIn.com has him usually on
WNTK from NH. iHeartRadio.com has him
via WHYN Holyoke and WXTK Cape Cod.
Individual station sites like those and WCRN
Worcester will have him.
On smartphones there are the apps for
TuneIn, iHeartRadio and WNTK (Google
Play on androids etc)
“———— This is a woman who thinks Curt Schilling pitched for the Yankees. “
—
This in itself is blasphemy.
She is,and always has been,pathetic.
.
Boston Herald Radio WILL as I understand it be simulcast on WCRN AM 830 Worcester and also on WUFC AM 1510 (I got that right from the latter's general manager). WUFC lineup (normally) is now Dr K 6 am, Herald Radio 9 am, Beck 10 am, Dennis Miller (now live) noon, Hannity 3 pm, Capitol Hill Show 6 pm, JT the Brick sports 8 pm etc. But again Herald Radio tonight on WUFC
The column
Liveshot 2: No Thanks
Howie Carr, Boston Herald 11/4/14
Imagine Seth Moulton at some future Democratic national convention, raising his right hand in salute:
“This is Lt. Seth Moulton, reporting for duty!”
Or is it doody?
Yep, he fancies himself the next John Forbes Kerry. Might not admit it yet, but he’s got the same pedigree — Brahmin bloodline, prep school, Ivy League, military service “in a war he opposed,” and of course, the de rigueur legion of worshipful bowtied bumkissers on Morrissey Boul-evard. They swoon at the very mention of his Seth-ness — “a humble hero (who) has emerged for cynical voters,” as one of the rumpswabs gurgled about their latest crush.
The Globe is head over heels for Seth Moulton. They want to have his baby. David Rodham Gergen fainted the first time he saw Seth over at Camelot High. What more do you need to know?
If you live in the 6th Congressional District, you can stop the madness today, by saying no, one Liveshot was more than enough, and the last thing Massachusetts needs is another Little Boy Blue in D.C. The alternative is Richard Tisei, who’s gay, but apparently not gay enough for the moonbats.
Granted, the voters owe Moulton thanks not only for his military service, but also for ridding us of that corrupt hack, Johnny Pockets Tierney. But after dispatching the world’s biggest liar, as his gangster brothers-in-law called Tierney, why is Liveshot Junior now recycling the same dumbass ads Pockets used in 2012? You know, the ones with the photo-shopped shots of Tisei with Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz, two people he’s never met.
If you like illegal aliens on welfare, you’ll love Seth Moulton.
He supports Obama’s amnesty plan, because I guess Lynn isn’t celebrating diversity enough yet. His only quibble — Seth says he wishes Obama had publicly announced his plans … before the election.
In-state tuition for illegal aliens?
“I do support it,” Moulton said last week at Endicott College in Beverly.
Tisei answered that the illegals could go, “but as long as there are kids who are American citizens who aren’t able to go to college, I think we have to take care of them first.” Tisei didn’t get to finish his statement because the Endicott students, who, unlike the illegals have to actually pay their own way, began cheering so loudly.
Moulton got thumped in the primary in Lynn, 3-1. So he began saying he would do for Lynn what Paul Tsongas did for Lowell. That was a good line until a local news anchor asked his Seth-ness exactly what Tsongas did for Lowell.
That was when Seth really went into Kerry mode, as in, “Can I get me a clue here?”
Finally he babbled something about a convention center, although there isn’t one in Lowell, just the Tsongas Arena, which is mainly used for UMass-Lowell hockey, and was built with state, not federal dollars.
So ruin election day for the Globe. Send their latest heartthrob back to the Dreaded Private Sector. If you don’t, it’ll be left to Joe Kennedy III to finish him off … in the 2020 Senate race.
I was at his book signing Saturday with my parents that are visiting from Florida. He told them they would need to stream him on another channel pretty soon (besides the RKO stream) but they’ll be able to hear his show.
I have them listing to WCRN now anyways :>)
When WUFC 1510 aannounced lineup changr
due to JT the Brick moving to 8 pm
(Now Dennis Miller live at noon, then
Hannity, a show called the Capitol Hill show
etc) GM of the station Bryan Berner announced
more exciting lineup changes in wks to come
I wondered if that meant they may pick up
Howie as Entercom apparently said no.
I don’t know yet where he will land in Bos.
but am sure he’ll still be on WCRN 830
Worc.and WXTK 95.1 Cape Cod
Online if WRKO drops him in a couple weeks:
TuneIn — WNTK, maybe WCRN. There is a WNTK app
iHeartRadio-’ WHYN, WXTK
Election night ping—will try to pass along results. Discuss if you wish.
WRKO 680 (Avi Nelson), WCRN 830 & WUFC 1510 (Boston Herald
Radio), WBZ 1030 (Dan Rea), public radio, TV, other sources. I hope Salem News will give us numbers on
Tisei-Moulton.
I think pts of NH closed at 7, some at 8
5 per cent in—WMUR
Reporting - 5%
Name Party Votes Vote %
Shaheen, Jeanne (i) Dem 18,309 56%
Brown, Scott GOP 14,197 44%
