As scheduled, Howie Carr came back on 'RKO right after the 3 o'clock news:
I'm baaaaack. I'm baaaack.
He waited a whole two minutes before bringing up Teddy Kennedy and Chappaquiddick.

Is there a bingo card?
I wonder how many different ways we could arrange 25 predictable Howie Carrisms.
Perhaps Teddy ala Chappy could be the free center square?
So it doesnt' bother you
So it doesnt' bother you that your Senator got drunk, killed girl, and conspired to cover it up? Go into the Boston Globe archives - they did a detailed feature article years ago that nailed him to the wall.
Of course
It bothers me that he got away with something because it wasn't considered a big deal at the time for a rich dude to be blotto and kill somebody.
It also bothers me that Teddy would sell the state out to big oil sleazebags and cozy up to utility execs in astroturf robes just because a few of his rich idiot buddies didn't want to see the slightest hint of wind towers from their mostly empty 500000000000 sq ft power-sucking mansions. I'd really like to see him out of office before the lifelong bad habits render him as incomprehensible as the ex-wife who shared them for many years. If Weld made one big mistake in his political career, it was to run against Kerry and not wait to take out Teddy when he was marred by another scandal.
But Howie Carr is a mean-spirited and evil blowhard toward far less deserving folk than Teddyboy. He's also becoming a repetitive mean-spirited evil blowhard as he ages. That makes a bingo card possible.
So, where do you start?
A lot of rich white guys get away with things and can cover it up. Where do you start? And why didn't people go after Kennedy when Chappaquiddick happened instead of bitching about it for years and years afterwards?
Re: Howie Carr--It must have taken all his willpower to suppress a Chappaquiddick comment for 2 minutes.
Is this the guy that makes
Is this the guy that makes fart noises into the microphone? Or am I thinking of someone else?
You're thinking of someone
You're thinking of someone else.
Howie sounds like that, but it's not on purpose.
