Fellow Freeper, hchutch, has been trying for weeks to get me to set the wheels in motion for Douglas Forrester to call in to the Howard Stern show. And for weeks, I've been putting him off with the explanation that since Forrester was so far ahead in the polls against that crook, Torricelli, that this would be unnecessary. Then hchutch contacted me again last week when it appeared that Frank Lautenberg would be replacing the Crooked Torch on the ballot. Again I put him off with the explanation that if SCOTUS overturned the NJ Supreme Court that this would also be unneccessary.
Okay, folks, NOW it is NECCESSARY!!! Douglas Forrester MUST call in to Howard Stern on his radio show. If he does so it means a MINUMUM of an extra 100,000 votes (probabably a lot more) for him in November. This would give Forrester the election.
I sure hope Forrester's advisors don't make the same mistake as the folks advising Bret Shundler when he ran for NJ governor. A friend of mine had close ties with Shundler's advisors and passed along the suggestion that Shundler call in to Howard's show. When I got the word back that the timid Shundler advisors nixed that idea, I got so upset that I almost pulled an Elvis on my computer monitor.
So, PLEASE, Doug Forrester. DON'T make the same mistake as Bret Shundler. Just call in to the Howard Stern show. It doesn't mean you have to paint some chick's nekkid breasts or hang out with Howard at Scores or pledge obedience to Satan. Just call in to Howard and have some fun for a few minutes. Maybe you could even promise Howard that if elected Senator, you would try to have a NJ toxic waste dump named after him.
For a time investment of less than 10 minutes you will guarantee yourself victory in November. Since you are pro-choice and since Howard STRONGLY supports Bush's effort against Iraq (Howard flamed the Hollywood liberals today on his show who opposed action against Iraq) then I think you and Howard would hit it off.
Please, Mr. Forrester. I don't want to see Tom Dasshole as MAJORITY LEADER next term. Plus I would love to see that stupid smirk knocked off Jim Jefford's face.
p.s. If you doubt Howard's effectiveness as a vote-getter, then check with NY Governor Pataki who went from 20 points behind Mario Cuomo a week before the 1994 election to winning the election by 6 points---Thanx to Howard's support. This was why Howard was the GUEST OF HONOR at Pataki's inauguration.
Sadly Brett Shundler learned that lesson the hard way.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are the FIRST to post something negative about Howard Stern on this thread. Yes, because YOU don't like Howard then Doug Forrester should shun him and lose the election in NJ. Better for that to happen than for the Republicans to regain the Senate (and smack that smug smirk off Jumpin' Jim's face).
For your "insightful" analysis you win a trip to.....SCORES!!! Enjoy the free lapdance.
Stern is the most human entertainer out there, just himself, flawed but truthful. He is also hilarious.
And he is a flawed but practicing Catholic, which is perhaps the most fascinating detail of his life.
It would be if it were true.... Catholic?????
He is a straight shooter who can never be accused of doing the PC thing and supporting some liberal who is wrong for his listeners.
He is definitely worth at least100,000 votes, and you are absolutely right, now is the time for Forrester to reach out to the King of All Media and humbly request his endorsement.
You don't know anything about Stern, so I would respectfully ask you to withold comment.
It's a net gainer.
Good night, Mr. Grinch. Time for you to go out and steal Christmas.
The other was when he was in Las Vegas last time, when Yucko the anti-semitic clown was on. Someone referred to Jimmy Kimmel as a Jew, and Kimmel responded: "For the record, I want to say I am a Roman Catholic." After which, very softly, and almost lost among the background noise, Stern said, "I want to say that for the record too."
One of Stern's funniest remarks I have heard, was when he said a couple years ago, "half of me is Jewish and the other half is anti-semitic." This is not proof of anything, except that there is another "half" from the one most people focus upon.
A friend of mine attended Mass at St Patrick's this last Christmas, actually a couple weeks before, and coincidentally sat next to Stern, who was with his daughter. When my friend expressed surprise at seeing him under those circumstances, Stern said he attended Mass regularly and was a practicing Catholic.
When I listen to Stern, I hear an unmistakable, underlying compassion, and a commitment to principles, which are not necessarily proof of religious conviction, but which are not inconsistent with it.
