I Still Stand By My Picks – Can You Pick Both VP Candidates? – Winners Get Prizes
Okay. So my timing is off, thanks to the Obama campaign, but I stand by my previous entry about VP picks. And for fun, here’s a contest. The first person to write to this site with both the Democratic and Republican VP picks will get a prize – a signed copy of my first book, “Larry Kane’s Philadelphia.” Maybe some of you self-styled experts can learn something from reading about my first 35 years here. The second fastest entry will win a copy of “Lennon Revealed”, my NY Times Bestseller. These are valuable books. After all, I wrote them. The third fastest entry gets honorable mention and a dollar for free air at any local gas station. That’s an inside story for people who have been lambasting me for attacking the concept of actually paying for air at service stations.
So, with Obama’s announcement coming any hour, get your entries in fast.
Winners will be announced as soon as John McCain picks his VP.
Have fun.

Obama – Tim Kaihne
McCain – Tom Ridge
Lucky for me I couldn’t sleep tonight. So what the heck. Obama /Biden and McCain /Romney…..There I said it. The only thing is Larry, if I’m right I could really use that “free” air prize.
BTW you are the only source that apoligized for the Obama gaffe of not following through with his Veep anouncement. I assume his people leaked that information to the press and you all took a bite. Smucks and putzes all of them except you Larry, at least you said you were sorry…..
Obama will pick Hilary Clinton
McCain will pick Tom Ridge.
Obama: Hillary Clinton
McCain: Charles Crist
obama: biden
McCain: huckabee
Obama: Biden
McCain: Romney
Obama: Clinton
McCain: Pawlenty
I’d like to see McCain pick Lieberman -and I’m a true blue right wing extremist homophobe racist pro-life right wing whatever-other-name-the-left-wants-to-call-me Republican… He won’t, but I think Lieberman’s one of the most genuine, honest people I’ve seen in government, along with McCain. They would do well together.
McSame: Larry Craig
Obama: Larry Kane (the FREE AIR VP and the PEOPLE’S POET!)
It’s a Larry year!
I guess I’ll play too;
McCain-Romney
Obama-Kaine
I am going to win, because I pick up on what Senator Obama said yesterday.
Obama/Bloomberg
McCain/Liberman
I’d like to play too Larry. Also contests are a great way to drive traffic, I think you really do want to take it up a notch!
Obama/Clinton
McCain/Romney
By the way. Biden does look very likely given press reports ,but I think its a head fake. However, if it is Biden kudos to you, if it’s also Ridge then I think some of us owe you a lot of free air. Perhaps we even chip in and buy you a home compressor.
We can get started as soon as OOOJ turns in his ballot.
Obama = Biden
McCain = Romney
Obama: Clinton
OBAMA-RICHARDSON McCAIN-PAWLENTY
Obama: Clinton
McCain: Romney
Obama knows he’s making history, so why stop now? I don’t think the Clintons, plural, can force themselves to the sidelines and watch this party play out without them. McCain is simply playing the averages, although I thought Jindal would be a refreshing pick.
I guess I’ll chime in.
Obama – Clinton (Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think he just might)
McCain – Lieberman
McCain: Captain Hook
Obama: Jack Sparrow
This is going to turn into a frenzy, why doesn’t everyone send this site to at least two people and ask them to vote? Prediction: a geometric progession will occur and there will be hundreds of posts before the announcement. 74 days to go before the election!
Jack Russell, you need to weigh in on this! Also Hillary is going to stun us with an outside the box pastel pants suit this Tuesday night, get your popcorn ready, it’s going to be a stemwinder!
Obama = Jack Daniel
McCain = Captain Morgan
McCain cinches the pirate vote.
Didn’t know the blog changed…
I stand by my original picks:
Romney – the only real Republican choice
Sebelius – the woman panderering choice
Send check now, Larry. Meet Joe Biden at the Purple Parrott to cry in beer Saturday afternoon.
CJ, not with Jump’in Joe Liebermann
Larry, perhaps the gift should be an air compressor so that some lucky player can fill his tires all year for free.
Perhaps Obamonomics will issue a rebate check to all that go out and buy their own air compressors and promise to keep their tires properly inflated. Now that’s a solution to the energy crisis we can all get behind! Free air!
Alternative Obamonics energy plan – pump us full of air – oh wait, that’s already happened
CT, Jack Sparrow was my pirate choice for Obama earlier in the week.
McCain —> Angela Lansbury. Or Matlock.
Obama —> John Edwards
McCain-Leo Bloom
Obama-Jack Russell
Hell on earth for these two.Let one walk the plank.
This is a locally operated blog so can I vote several times?
McCain = Rick Santorum
Obama = Ed Rendell
Obama – Yoda
McCain – Jar Jar
Obama – Tastes Great
McCain – Less Filling
Hi Larry,
Here are the picks:
BO – Dawn Stensland
JM – Larry Mendte
Seriously speaking, any thoughts of returning to KYW? They need you badly. Would you return if they asked???
McCain: Trent Lott (dark horse)
Obama: Joe Biden
C’mon, guys!
Obama will choose Michael Phelps.
John McCain will choose Dr. Ruth.
OMG, a private plane from Chicago has just landed in DE to pick up Biden! I’m having mini throw-ups in my mouth and loose stool- I’m so excited! Biden will be the best thing that could happen to the McCain campaign.
D Katherine S
R- Romney
Obama is going with Wes Clark.
McCain is going with Liddy Dole.
I know I’m not on Obama’s list, so I invite Obama supporters to think about me and make it a “John Kerry two finger night” in honor of my failed run for president. When you look at what a total ass George Bush was in 2004, and the fact that I could not beat him will really be an historic and stunning fact in American history. My failure was actually worse than Michael Dukakis’ loss to father Bush.
If being a Vice Preident was so important why don’t we celebrate all Vice Presidents’ Day?
Obama/Dumbledore
McCain/Voldemort
Sock Puppets and cleverness abound. Can the Pirates be far behind?
Obama called Joe Biden tonight at 9PM to tell him he was going in another direction. Joe had already finished his bowl of fiber cereal and was sound asleep.
As many “new names” today as different VEEPS.
Ahoy maties! Back for my booty, Larry! What are your prizes? Old book inventory from online store? I got your ticket right here, matie. Arrrrrgh.
McCain and Romnet rout Obama and Chet the Jet Edwards
Larry- repsect you got Biden right! Now, who will it be for McCain? I think you’ve floated too many possibilities, so you should probably narrow it soon. Biden does help with Obama’s working class white male problem, and he is a good debator, much like John Kerry- who is the master debator.
George, very nice JK reference for 5AM!
If reports about Secret Service in Delaware last night were correct, than looks like Parochial Larry will be right and Obama will have made a grave error in strategy. Biden is a angry, mean spirited, been in DC too long, old school liberal. So much for change.
I guess the silver lining in the Joe Biden pick is that we won’t see the Clintons again after the convention!!!
I hope the Obama campaign is ready for some unseamly links between Biden and the Capano family of DE to emerge. Tom Campano, the convicted murderer of Ann Marie Fahey, and his brothers attended Archmere Academy in DE where Biden also attended. Look for real estate deals between the families and possible special political and zoning prefences from Biden to the Capano family before Tom Capano was known to be a murderer. Where there’s smoke there’s fire and Biden’s connection to the Capano family will make Rezco scandal look tame.
Hereto refered to as Angry Joe…
Yak,Yak,Yak……………all of the talking heads are chiming in today on the Biden selection as Obama’s Veep. What a bunch of morons. The spin on Biden’s verbal gaffes is now being translated into a “blue collar” interpretive tell it like it is scenario. Biden, the shoot from the hip straight talker is now the friend of all the “blue collar” types.
Whether Joe has arugula with his tuna salad, only his waiter knows for sure….
I did however Biden intervieved from the divers seat of his truck. (gun rack not included.) Hope and Change……..
3 bumper stickers I saw this morning driving around town. How do they come up with these things so fast?
Obama and Biden
A black and white analogy
Biden
Obama
Something smells
Obama, Rezco, Capano
Too many Os for me
This is like an early Christmas present.Lets change Washington by putting Biden on the ticket.Hope.Boys & girls,can you say President McCain ?
YFAP, EmptySuit Obamanomics and Angry Joe – the Dream Team.
I don’t know McCain supporters, of which I am one, this Obama ticket looks awefully strong. The Biden back story is powerful and his experience is compelling. I think Michelle hand picked this guy, along with Larry Kane, and they got it right as he solves the chardonay liberal problem and virle white guys will flock to Biden.
When you compare Obamna/Biden ticket to Kerry/Edwards there is reason to think the Democrats finally got it right with this one. Add on the weak economy and middle class angst and the Dems should be able to take the white house. Imagine Biden sitting in the home of a family getting foreclosed and ranting on… not a pretty picture for McCain’s seven house managerie, and if we add Romney there are probably over 10 unforclosed houses between them. What is the carbon footprint of a McCain/Romney ticket? Makes Gore’s energy use look downright thrifty. Be afraid Republicans, be very afraid!
Again Larry- you da man on this call! Now tell us a sigle pick for McCain’s VP and you get the home air compressor.
Larry, I’m sorry Obama didn’t pick you. However, in Biden, he has a solid running mate who has a bipartisan legislative track record that makes McCain look like a backbench dunce in the Senate. This is no Holy Joe Lieberman, who is so arrogant he’d hand over a debate to Dick Cheney. This guy has blue collar cred and incredible experience to boot. He’s a moderate on most issues, so he tempers the unfounded right wing noise machine attack on Obama as some kind of “librul.”
McCain started running ads featuring clips of Biden saying he didn’t think Obama was ready to be president. All that tells me is that McCain won’t be choosing Romney, who leveled much worse at McCain during their primary. Or maybe McCain’s campaign is so inept that it will choose Romney after running these ads.
O George, you’re starting to sound very sarcastic or very silly. I think you should be outside enjoying the great weather. Me? I’m stuck here because my back went out. What I would give for an oxycotin or two or three……. anyone pleasE!!! What I really need is Rush Limbaugh’s phone number. Now he could hook me up… I could care less who Obama picked. It’s all about me. I need relief and I need it now.
Ed, I’ve put my back out several times, and its not fun. Try to get a drug called Flexeril from your doctor, its a muscle relaxer and if your problem is muscular it will work great. If it’s a disc, then you’ve got a more serious problem, and it wont get better from medicine, but an oxycontin will take the edge off just about anything.
After wathching Obama introduce Biden, I think Rush Limbaugh might have a relapse, they’ve got a hot ticket thats going to attract independents and conservative democrats that i thought would swing to McCain if he had picked Hillary. I really think McCain may now be in serious trouble if those two execute the way they did today. There seemed to be chemistry and heat, its an articulate and clean ticket thats going to win in November.
Empty Suit and Angry Joe – The Dream Team.
Or is that Roadkill?
Biden inspires no one. If he inspires Obama, then the Dems have no chance,
But hey I’m just a NASCAR dunce that drives fast and make lefthand turns all day. What do I know?
This is off topic, but I just had the worst over-priced dinner with terrible service at Georges Perriers “Georges Resturant” in Wayne PA. We expected something close to the Le Bec Fin experience. Dinner for four, without alcohol, but including tax and tip- $250. You can eat anywhere on the Main Line or Center City for much less and get better quality and service- the waitress was worse than a Pizza Hut!
Only good thing about the evening was I got free air on the way home at a Luke Oil station. It was posted as $.75, but being pissed off from the dinner I went inside and asked (in a demanding Michael Douglas in Falling Down kind of way)for them to turn on the machine, and they did!
Dinner at Georges-$250
Air at Luke Oil- FREE
Larry’s Blog- Priceless!
Leo, you are going to wish you had some Oxycotin as the Dream Team twists in the wind.
“I stand by my picks.” Larry, who were your picks?
BTW, congratulations if you had Biden. I must say I’m surprised. Remind us who your GOP pick is.
George, thank you for the restaurant review.
Luke Oil. Was that Big Luke or Little Luke from the Real McCoys?
“A leader ready to step in and be President” Obama calls Biden. Then why is Obama on the top half of the ticket? No one has said that about him.
Cheers Larry. Long time no see.
I have a name for your next blog.
Ebony and Ivory: Obama and Biden in perfect harmony
Cheerio
The more I see of Biden the more burned up I get about that metrosexual twit John Edwards that was on my ticket. I’d like to do to his nuts what Jesse wants to do to Obama’s, except I’d like to roast them like chestnuts and put them in the Thanksgiving turkey stuffing and feed them to my guests. Can you believe that selfish moron tried to portay himself as caring about working people? Biden is the real deal, a working class Irish Catholic that would tear Edwards head off in a bar fight, thats what I should have had. Instead Edwards was in the campaign bus half the time grooming himself and washing his genitals- now I know why! Makes me sick.
Theresa, get mt the nail clippers, I have a hangnail, second thought just buy me a damn butt plug, I’ve had it!
John Kerry you are a loser and so is Edwards and Biden. Were they in the Swiftboat with you? Oh that’s right they are both dodged the military.
Jeff Gordon, I know I’m a loser, why do you have to rub it in like that? I come from a long line of MA politcal losers. Now with Teddy likely to be terminally ill, its up to Dukakis or me to accept the mantle of biggest MA liberal political loser. Mike is willing to accept the title since he’s older,and has embraced it with vigor over the last 20 years. However, my ego won’t allow it, so I’m going to the Denver convention to make a speech so the American people will never forget the magitude my ineptness. One thing is certain, I will seal my legacy this week as the greatest MA political loser in modern American history.
Theresa is probably going to leave me, as she walked in on me working my magically thick two fingers while rehersing my speech, god she was pissed!
But then again she usually is…
John Kerry you can never be the biggest loser from Taxachusetts. Pork Barrel Teddy has that locked up. Even the diminuative one Mike Dutaxus can’t match fat Ted. You will be remembered as Swiftboat John from Taxachusetts – with the campaign that listed like a boat with no sail.
I don’t get to Taxachusetts with NASCAR and I’m sure not going there on vacation.
Pretty soon they’ll be talking about Obama and Biden the same way they talk about you now.
Hey John I can send you a Tide Racing Team jumpsuit to liven up your wardrobe if you’d like
I prefer wind surfing, as most Americans know. I’m a very sophisticated fellow, and don’t wear racing jumpsuits. I do however enjoy wearing chaps, even though I don’t ride a horse, you get my drift Jeff?
Slowdown cowboy you got the wrong cow poke if you get my drift.
Do you wear knee high black socks when you windsurf?
I know Larry wears the knee high black socks with his speedo and sombrero at the beach. This is not the visual that you want to remember Larry as.
And remember John if the Contessa has you stuff your speedo with a ketchup bottle it goes in the front not the back.
Larry, I hope you’ve arrived safely in Denver and are ready to send us some great reports.
I expect you to get a one on one interview with Joe Biden, he simply owes you, as you called it right and have treated him more than fairly over the years. Do not miss this opportunity, Biden and Kane face to face straight talk.
I’d like you to ask him that since his Catholicism was indroduced on the day of his announcement will he be taking communion at Mass given his pro-abortion stance? This was a huge issue for Rudy Guiliani,and its likely to become a serious issue for the Archdioces of DE, as well as across the country for many Cantholics as well as for church leaders. You have the tact to ask question respectfully and put this issue into play before anyone else in the national press. Please don’t come back without a Biden one on one interview, and have the hutspa to ask this very legitimate question first. I recommnend you ask it after a few softball questions and get his guard down, I’m sure he likes you.
Travel safely and good luck at the convention, you must feel like a school girl the night before the prom! This is your Super Bowl Larry, get in there and get the Get interview and make naional headlines while also making your Philly home boys proud. Good luck!
Get somme rest, you have a big week ahead to get the Big Story!
God Speed Larry Kane!
George why are you sucking up to Larry?
I’m kind of surprised the lovefest for Biden has begun. No one here (or anywhere else for that matter) supported his presidential candidacy. Why? An old curmudgeon from Delaware.
I’m even more surprised that people are giving Larry credit for anything beyond guessing he be selected. Did Larry stump for Biden’s selection. No one other than the 10-12 people (maybe be more or less depending on sock puppets being counted) that read this blog were hearing Larry.
Larry we’re really looking forward to your liberal perspective from Denver.
YFAP, don’t tell me you have better things to do on the weekend. Were you hanging out the laundry?
oooj-No,I was reading the Kerry-Gordon debate.Actually,I think it was one “sock puppet” playing both parts.
I was kind of busy this weekend.Besides,we live in a gated community that doesn’t allow laundry to be hung outside
Quite the distinguished group of players here. YFAP in gated community. George with maids and eating at exclusive restaurants. JR with high connections in DA’s office. Leo stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
YFAP, what were Larry’s picks? Presumably Biden but who did he pick on GOP side? Ridge?
Its not sucking up Jeff, I’m raising the bar for Larry to deliver some substance from his trip. In the end we are all basically here for politics and also to learn what John Kerry is doing during the convention- stay tuned.
I think it was Ridge.Larry’s not one to go out on a limb.So,no Pawlenty,Jindal et al.I’m starting to think it’s Ridge too.McCain can win big by getting the centrist votes & I don’t think the Far Right will sit it out.They know what a disaster Obama would be.
YAP, I’m sticking with Romney, but I must say two rich guys on the ticket could create some problems given current economy, they would have over 10 houses between them. Ridge helps with PA, but he is a wet rag compared to Mitt, who is the most beautiful man who ever lived.
George, understanding your concerns about the appearance of the cum # of houses, do you really think that will make a difference? Don’t you think it was more that McCain said he didn’t know if it was his house that caused the problem?
I think the only way it’s not Romney is if McCain’s ego can’t stand to share the spotlight with Mitt. It was clear during the debates that the 2 were not pals.
George,I’m afraid that falls into the “too much information ” category.But I’ve come to realize that you don’t hold anything back,so it’s cool.
John Kerry do you have an insights for us from the convention? What are you going to say? Is anyone paying any attention to you?
YFAP, where is everyone today? Have they all committed hara-kiri (??? after the Biden selection?
It must be VP fatigue.Or everyone’s working feverishly to get finished early & get home to see the ghastly Michelle Obama give her speech.I wonder if she’ll touch those”proud to be American” lines again.That would liven this blog up,eh?
Prouder than ever…
The “All Inclusive Party” (translated: I’ll say anything in order to get elected party) apparently has quite a long list of speakers at the convention. From Mr. Peanut Head (Carter) to Mrs “Bug eyed” Nancy Pelosi. Harry “The War is lost” Reed along with “Fast Eddie” Rendel and Ted “Chappaquiddick”
Kennedy are also scheduled to speak. Of course Bill “Sexaphone” Clinton and his wife “3am” Hillary will be saying a few words. I can’t wait for my two favorites Al “The sky is falling” Gore and our own Senator “I’m so boring why does everyone forget my first name” Casey. The final speeches By Joe “Plagiarist” Biden and Barack “Arugula” Obama will be held in the Broncos’ stadium………
You know maybe Michelle “Fist pumping” Obama was on to something with this pride in America thing. With leaders like these its no wonder many people say we are headed down the wrong path….
BRE, where have you been? Your take is impeccable.
Good thing all the networks aren’t broadcasting this sideshow start to finish.
You forgot a cameo by Chelsea Clinton, First Felon: the Next Generation, and Jack Russell, the loyalist lapdog since RinTinTin.
oooj-funny stuff,2012 is right around the corner.
Just read about our gov.Ed Rendell taking MSNBC to task.Good for Ed,it’s about time someone did,they have been in the tank for obama ever since he made his announcement for pres.Chris Matthews and Keith Olderman are a disgrace. I always thought that the news media’s job was to report the news not to convince people to vote for their man.
Just got settled into my hotel in Denver and very excited to speak. Got a call from congressman Barney Frank and he invited me to a party in his suite tonight! Since Theresa didn’t come I might as well head over later. Barney said since we’re out west everyone wears chaps day and night, glad I bought mine. I dont really know how to ride but Barney said he’d give me a lesson in bare-back riding, said he’s got a couple of young ass-ponies (must be a type of horse) that like to be riden in the night on long hard rough trails. Sounds dangerous, but I’ve been in a war, and it’s nothing a seansoned windsurfer like me wont be able to handle.
I’m kind of mad about Carter and Kennedy being here, they cast a long shadow over my liberalness and people actually like them more than me.
Also, my press guy told me to familarize myself with this site before taking an interview with Larry Kane, hopefully he’s in the liberal tank with the rest of the press core out here. Talking to the press here is easier than burning a thatch hut in Viet Nam!
Welcome back Jack. You have been missed.
Hopefully the legal system will work before 2012.
Keith Olberman thinks that he’s very entertaining but I think the only one he entertains is himself. What a toad.
Swiftboat Johnny! Larry Kane is squarely in the liberal tank. Where’s your straight guy Jeff Gordon tonight?
Make sure you say hi to Gary Studds and Larry Craig over at Barney’s party. Let us know if Leo is there. He’s been missing in action all day. Rumor has it he and Abby Hoffman drove his 1967 VW Van out to Denver to be closer to Obama.
Jack is back! Hillary will be getting her 15 minutes tomorrow night, Jack get the popcorn and a stiff drink ready, she’s going to be smokin!
Michelle is going try to tell us she loves America, does anyone believe that? Angry black woman or doting mother and wife who loves all of us, we’ll find out tonight. This is better than the Olympics! Did anyone her Larry’s report on KYW today, I’m out of town this week.
OOOJ, I’ve been off on a quest to find just the right cocktail of drugs to ease the pain in my back. Believe it or not George suggested flexeril and it helped a lot. That along with some anti-inflammatories and some percadans has gotten me back on track.
At thus point I might even stay up late enough to watch Michelle Obama………zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
BRE, sounds like you have had enough medication to sit threw Michelle Obama. Have Jack Russell fix you a Jack double. That should do it.
When a political party holds on to a drunken fool like Ted Kennedy you know we are on the wrong path My own father passed away from a brain tumor so I know the uphill battle Ted faces. Yet I feel no remorse in saying that this old fool should have been put out to pasture a long time ago…..
Mary Jo didn’t get the chance to live long enough to be an octegenarian with a brain tumor, why was that, I forget?
Hey Larry aren’t you supposed to be making some kind of comments by now. This Democrap propaganda machine is making my head spinn. Is this what politics is all about? I might as well put that bullet I have right between my eyes.
I heard that they’re going to start running the ads that Bush ran against McCain in South Carolina in 2000.
p.s. The sock puppets are scaring me. Shouldn’t they be taking their meds to quiet the voices they hear?
Hey Guys! I wanted to let you all know that I’m feeling foxy.
Larry, I’m heading off the stage. I’ll look forward to your encomiums. Please post them soon, you handsome white devil.
Mr. Kane, where are you? I gave a masterful speech, and you haven’t yet praised me or changed the topic.
Larry, I’m missing the updates you promised. Michelle Obama was as lovely and compelling as she was when my daughter and I saw her at Haverford College.
I’ve been a fan of hers for some time. The American people would do well to embrace her, her experience, and her eloquence. She will be an actual first lady, not just someone who suggests that elementary school children study texts that don’t satisfy those basic goals.
So you and Abby didn’t drive the VW Van to Denver and missed Barney’s party? Too bad.
Enjoy the convention this week on tv then. I’m sure it will be riveting.
BRE, can I use your “Democrap” term?
chelle chelle’s speech last night was weak had nothing to it,,(btw-she’s is thin except for the donkey zone area anyone else notice?).
I just heard Larry on Smerc’s radio show,he said Mccain vps will be either Ridge/C.Rice/C.Powell/K.Hutchinson,,Larry has been on a roll,,but it sounds like somebody’s smoking some funny stuff in the mile high air.
Sound like Larry is covering himself. He needs to post a single republican pick on here or no chance for the air compressor prize!
Colin Powell would be a masterful pick, as he had it right on Iraq and was used by Bush and Rumsfeld. He was a loyal soldier to a fault. But I could see him with McCain, Powell also offsets the rich white ticket quite nicely. Biden would look like a chiwawa nipping at his heals when he attacks. Powell would be a great pick ,but does he want it?
Agreed Jack Russell, I was dissapointed with Michelle, the bar was raised so high though it is a tough thing to deliver. Had she not had the baggage of saying she was not proud to be American the speech would have went over better, but the whole time you were thinking she really needs to lay it on thick to diffuse that stigma, and as a result it left many skeptical. I must agree with Leo (begrudgingly) she is an excellent mother and role model and is quite accomplished (more so than me)so I’m willing to give her some propers. As Lou Reed sings “and the colored girls go; do, da do, da do, da doooooo…..”
I didn’t watch too much of the Convention last night but I managed to catch a couple of the Democrat ikons.George McGovern over there,Jimmy Carter up on the stage & finally Caroline Kennedy giving a little intro for “Uncle Teddy”.Listening to her,I thought of two things,the power of familial love & Uncle Teddy’s Bitter,a draft only beer at the Victory Brewpub.But I digress.She was mesmerizing, in the same way train wrecks are mesmerizing.Speaking of him in a proud way & yet all I could think of were the disgraceful incidents & the shame this guy brought to a very proud Family.I couldn’t bring myself to watch Michelle Obama,had to be up early today & didn’t want to risk nightmares.
JR-The Donkey zone area ? I was born at night but it wasn’t last night & yet I’ve never heard that term.Guess I’ll have to figure that one out.
Yea JR, what is the donkey zone area? I’ve never heard that one, but I do like it and will use it with your permission. I assume its the back hind quarter- the tail area? For example , John Kerry has been focused on his donkey zone area recently? Is that a correct use of the phrase?
This just in-Daddy Yankee (no relation ) has endorsed John McCain.That means that McCain is making serious inroads with the hip hop crowd,which has been heretofore solidly in Backtrack’s camp.I won’t go so far as to say it’s all over but I think I hear the fat lady clearing her throat.
Since Larry’s report is delayed I thought I would bring you all up to date on the Democratic convention. On a scale of 1 to ten I determine it’s Democrats 1 and the Snooze Fest Factor 9. What was it that Larry said “its only our future he’s talking about.” Well if this snooze fest is part of my future wake me when it is over. I would rather all of these people went to New Orleans and volunteered themselves for Habitat for Humanity. While hammering away they could discuss political strateegery.
///
A good line I just heard from the Republican camp describing the Democratic convention… A mile high and an inch deep.
The money wasted on a self indulgent event like this is like giving
Dom Perion to a wino. When something is obsolete how long does it continue to exist? I sure hope my tax dollars aren’t used to fund this event.
Wow , that Barney Frank party was off the hook! Bareney turned it out East Coast style. Didnt wake up until 4pm today, gotta get over tho the convention. Barney was looking for a magazine and he said not a single newstand in Denver carried it, I’d never heard of it though. Can anyone back east locate a copy of the September issue of “Black Male Tale Magazine?” He said a former page published an article he wanted to critique.
JK, was Leo at the Barney party with Abby Hoffman? Was he wearing his bandana and tie-dyed t-shirt? He should be giving us insights from Denver because Larry is dropping the ball.
JR, Obama will regret giving the Clintons so much face time tonight and tomorrow. They will stab him in the back. Remember Vince Foster!
Come to think of it there was this fellow Barney kept refering to as a Bottom, and his name was Leo. I think Barney must have meant he had hit rock bottom or his family came from the bottom of the barrel. It was odd how Barey treated him, like he was a disposible person, and Barney is always nice to just about everyone.
Where the hell is Jack Russell? Hillary is about to come on, dont ruin this Jack, you better be watching and weigh in after her speech or your going to the virtual woodshed.
Hillary really grew on me in recent months. As Obama inks in the polls its going to become clear Obama is a paper tiger, and he might evenlose by a surprising margin. McCain has gotten his game on, these adds shoing Hillary and Biden dissing Obama are getting major traction because they are not smear adds, just reporting what senior level Democrats think about Obama. He’s starting to melt, no man can live up to the stadium show planned for Thursday, only downside.
I’m thinking a dark blue pants suit, that accentuates the beauty of her donkey zone. Chelsea will also sparkle.
JK, I’ve got to switch the channel as Shrillary is about to appear. I only have so much patience with Democrap.
I can see JR adjusting his LazyBoy, refilling his peanut bowl and pouring his 5th Chivas. He’s sitting in his underwear with sock puppet in hand. Waiting for Shrillary to come out “smok’in hot” in that signature pantsuit.
Barrack, watch your back, dude!
Is it just me or does Slick Willie look more like W C Fields everyday?
Wonder if he’d rather be in Philadelphia?
The redhead sitting next to Slick Willie does not look to happy to be sitting next to the First Felon
Forget Hillary, the Phillies are in a dog fight wih the Mets.
Bob Casey looked like a deer in the headlights tonight.
The Montana Governor looked like an auctioneer
John Warner looked like a shoe-in for nomination in 2012.
Good for you George,you figured out the “donkey zone”.I’m still guessing but you kinda pointed me in the right direction,if you will.
oooj-That’s being kind.Casey is so stiff it’s pathetic.
JR, Hillary was wearing the orange jumpsuit last night. Was she on a work release program from the Arkansas Correctional Facility for Women? I noticed they made sure the ball and chain was not showing. BTW, making the convention wait 45 minutes for her to arrive was a classless ploy.
Hillary looked like a Denver Bronco fan. Or a traffic cone. I can’t decide. Let’s hope Bill can get through his speech tonight without making an ass of himself.
I couldn’t believe they were being critical of McSame. After all, as he frequently reminds us these days, he was a POW. I guess that lets you get off for cheating repeatedly on your crippled wife and then dumping her for an heiress.
Leo, are you seeing the Slick Willie – WC Fields striking resemblence? Or is it just the bulbous nose and gray hair?
Here’s hoping Slick Willie doesn’t get through speach tonight without major faux paus.
Dems seem very concerned about McCain. This is not going to be the cakewalk they anticipated or should have had. Leo, where were you in the 60’s when McCain was in North Vietnam? Canada?
I was in Detroit, OOOJ. Dick Cheney, Dubya, and I agreed that the war wasn’t our priority.
We should all be concerned about McCain. He’ll get the signal order that will trigger that communist programming soon. Then Putin will have occupying troops in two Georgias.
I think labeling Clinton as the First Felon is a bit of a misnomer.Shouldn’t Uncle Teddy get that handle ? I mean after all, he did cause the drowning death of that Mary Jo Kopechne,while managing to save himself.Taking it back even further,how about JFK for allowing himself to be misled by Maxwell Taylor & Paul Harkins ? Ah,but I digress.All this talk about donkey zones has me off center.
oooj-This will be a fiercely contested race for a bit but I expect McCain to pull away by October.Leo was propbably burning his draft card,growing a ‘fro & firng up fatties every morning.Maybe a member of the LSD for lunch bunch.
John McCain is the least of our concerns.
Glad to see you didn’t flee. Motown was not the place to be in the late 60’s except 68 when the Tigers won the WS.
YFAP, Fat Teddy Kennedy should have spent 20 years in prison for his crime. I suspect he hasn’t slept a night in the last 40 years because of his guilty. That would explain his severe drinking problem. He got a free pass because of his brothers. Other than DUIs, I think fat Teddy has been too pickled to commit any other crimes.
The First Felons are repeat offenders with no end in sight. Whitewater, Vince Foster, etc. Bill Gwatney? Add in incessant lying, continuous backstabbing and perpetual philandering, they are quite the couple. America’s First Family!
Larry, where are your promised updates? No one else is covering the FREE AIR angle. Is there a FREE AIR plank in the platform? Please let us know what’s happening.
Mr. Kane, I keep checking your blog for updates from Le Convention. However, nothing! It’s like John Grisham novel, but not so compelling I think.
Oh good,the French sock puppets came out to play.The Pirates can’t be far behind.
Viva la France! Just keep the Hillary dog away from me, mon cher. It makes with the leg!
Do the French sock puppets support John McCain or Baraq Hussein Abdul-Moshen ibn Obama for President ?
Sacre bleu !We French of course support McCain.This Obama is a rookie,he is no Charles De Galle.
Sacre bleu, he’s not even Charles De Gaulle.
What in the name of Guy Lafleur is going on here ?
We French will not support the McCain. He did not clean up Vietnam after we caused a mess there. He gets captured by the men wearing pajamas. Obama is the one for us. For America. For the world.
I was wondering whether Mr. Kane will be at the Keswick Theater to watch Obama speak tomorrow evening. I hope to see him there!
Sacre bleu Jessica,you must think this Mr.Kane is a man of the people.Or someone who has time for commoners.You must forget that he once travelled with le Beatles & now shills for le free air.
Jacques makes a good point. Wouldn’t McCain just end up a POW in an Iraqi prision if he becomes commander in chief? I’ve been watching Generation Kill and I think he was like Cpt. America in combat,, including with high ranking family members to get him through the academy based on the family name, like Bush at Yale too.
Sacre bleu,how can you say this statement ? McCain will never again be the prisoner.Besides,this Obama is nothing but a noun,a verb & hope.
Mon dieu, La Sage! Is more than hope! And he is not Mr. POW Freedom Fries policies that are sinking the Americans under the Liberty Lady! Perhaps this Obama is your bête noire?
Oui,oui Jacques of sacks,the Obama is to be avoided at all costs.He will give the Statue to the Arabs for target practice.It will be Dien Bien Phu once more.
BRE = CLS
Sacre bleu! Overrun by the French. They should be easy to clear out of the way.
Bill Clinton makes me look like such a loser. He dodged the draft, smoked dope, came from trailor trash, got impeached, but people still love him. I couldn’t even get elected against a dildo like GW Bush.
All I have is breeding pair of gerbals that Barney Frank said would bring me many happy returns. That guy is real nice and generous, but half the time I have no clue what he’s talking about.
JK, thanks for sharing.
The Barfo-meter is on tilt tonight watching Slick Willie work the crowd like a carnival hustler.
Has anyone said what they really believe at this convention? It’s all smoke and mirrors.
Michelle Obama went from angry black woman to Stepford Wife.
Hillary Clinton is fully behind Obama despite feeling cheated.
The First Felon is fully behind Obama despite repeated attacks on the campaign trail.
Smoke and mirrors. Smoke and mirrors.
We have a better chance of hearing from Jessica Savitch in Denver than Larry.
OOOJ, I feel your pain…..
BRE, how are the Phils doing tonight?
Swiftboat Johnny was riveting. He’s still complaining about getting bullied by the GOP. What a toad!
Hello Larry and everyone else,
‘Just when I think I’m out they pull me back in’-the Clinton’s Bill and Hillary showed why they are ‘America’s First Family’ they are the best in the business,this race is now Obama’s to close the deall,no more blaming the Clinton’s.
Mccain vs Backtrack.
Larry,country is first party second,I would rather go into a yard full of pit bulls then vote for the third best candidate.
Larry,Good Luck,God Bless,and God Speed.
Now that the campaign is over, do Bill and Hill return to prison to serve their consectutive sentences? Will they please just go back to Arkansas and disappear…
Smokin’ Joe Biden is on his game tonight, onslaughts of mentally impaired Hillary supporters and Frenchified sock puppets notwithstanding. Equal pay for women. The Ledbetter case. Working women need to look into that and the way the media buried coverage of the convention speeches addressing it. Hillary’s working white women supporters need to understand that a vote for McCain is a vote to veto legislation that would reform Title VII’s statute of limitations to permit realistic lawsuits based on systemic discrimination based on gender.
Do you think those Yankees bought that BS tonight? I’ll get that Obama character of depriving me to my rightful seat in the Oval Office. Even if I have to use Hillary to get me back in the White House.
Vroooom
Hey John Kerry nice speach last night you loser. Have you been tanning again or have you been to a tanner? Your skin looks like leather.
Where is Jaques of sacks now ? I must make this last point.This McCain will be a good President,he should get the chance.Better than the spineless escargot Eisenhower,who would not save us.This McCain,he sings bomb bomb bomb Iran.These are strange lyrics no? But if he had been President we would not have lost in Vietnam.He would drop the “big one ” on the little people.In other words,he would nuke the gooks & save the French Mercenaries.Sacre bleu.
I risk my life for the noblest of quests, freedom. My countrymen build you the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of freedom and national pride. We let you return the favor by riding in like the cavalry to save the day in 2 world wars. We give you the number one food in America: French Fries. And how do you reward us?
You become the laziest and fattest country in the world. You don’t pay any attention to politics. You allow a little man with a Napoleonic complex to run for President. You allow a man with ears bigger than and no more qualified than Mickey Mouse to run for President. You almost allow woman to run for President but I must see chromosome to be sure. You allow Presidents to break the law and then celebrate them at conventions. You allow former Presidents to roam around the world like they are still important.
You think we French are screwed up? Sacre bleu! Look in the mirror my friends.
#163 Post, A mile high record for Larry Kane’s Blog!
That is because Monsieur Larry is how you say, AWOL. He is re-reading all the speaches last night searching for some substance. So far, sans substance. It is, as you say, a Fluffernutter.
YFAP, where are you? Are you flying NOE?
No,I’m grounded so just sitting around being amused by the French.Getting the popcorn ready for Backtrack’s big speech.By the way,has anyone figured out his entrance ? Cheerleaders ? Or maybe smoke ? The Bronco that the Denver NFL team uses ?
Gentleman, I’d like to have the last post here, thank you #167
