Sex Rehab – Financial Rehab – Political Vengeance?

Mark it down. You heard it here first. This is going to be the month remembered as “Rehab January.”

Tiger Woods is reported to be in Mississippi at a sex rehab center, the first step in his apparent effort to fix the bad fix that he’s in. Meantime, ratings for golf are down with Tiger off the course. What will happen with the fearless champion of golf? He will obviously come back with a vengeance. Will Americans forgive him? No. But they will watch him in even greater numbers. People can be very harsh, but reality complicates their convictions. You have to wonder what’s really important to the people . Is it the spectacle or the rise and fall of the stars. Most of them should take the advice of Charles Barkley. He has said over and over again, “I am not a role model. I don’t pretend to be.”

He is also, as we learned on TV last year, not a great golfer.

This is also a month when a Senate vote in Massachusetts changed the landscape, and soon, the nation’s financial direction. It looks like Ben Bernanke may not be confirmed for another term as chief of the Federal Reserve. It also looks like Tim Geithner, the Treasury boss who may have secretly allowed bailout funds to reach cash-rich Goldman Sachs, may be sacked by the President. On those possibilities, I can only say that in the course of history, change can be good.

The political winds are blowing and Republicans think that they have those winds at their backs. In Bucks County, former Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick wants his old job back. He will sign up for a rematch in November with the man who narrowly beat him in 2006, Congressman Patrick Murphy. The Democrat rode a rising tide of anger to victory. This time, Fitzpatrick hopes to return the favor.

This is supposed to be a big Republican year. But not so fast. The Grand Old Party is not being represented well on the national stage. Sarah Palin continues to embarrass. Michael Steele gets mixed reviews.  And the Republicans on Capitol Hill have not had a new idea in years. But then again, neither have the Democrats. Just because the President has been slipping lately, doesn’t mean the Republicans can win seats without earning them. More and more, people are looking for leadership, and new ideas.

    This was a devastating week for all of us

    1) A landmark supreme court decision has stolen away all elections

    2) More destruction and despair in Haiti

    3) The defeat of Martha Cloakey, a wonderful woman in the Mass election.

    4) Hannity and Rove gloating

    I will work persisently and vigorously to support and uphold everything Obama stands for.

    I will serve you, my loyal readers every single day until we see positive traction.

    I am committed to this, and to my boss and mentor Brian Tierney. And to you, my readers. And of course, to you, Larry Kane

    “Will Americans forgive him”? Larry Tiger wasn’t cheating on us, nor did he spit on a little girl in the stands ala Sir Charles. Nor did he kill his wife ala OJ. Nor did he dispose of losing dogs by setting them on fire, ala Vick. Nor did he rape a young woman in a hotel, ala Mike Tyson. Nor did he shoot his chauffeur ala Jason Williams. Nor did he attack fans in the stands ala Ron Artest. Nor did he strangle his coach, ala Latrel Sprewell. Nor did he shoot himself in his leg ala Plaxico Burress. Larry you might be right ……. Athletes don’t make for very good role models, unless you want to grow up and be a thug.

    Year of rehab to be sure. John McCain has already sent Cindy to Betty Ford after she got on the pills again and appeared in pro-equal rights for homosexual marriage ads. It was illegal pills. Just like Limbaugh and his Viagra trips to Hispaniola. Lots of homeless young boys now . . . .

    Larry makes a Saturday Surprise on his
    blog! Mrs K must be out shopping today
    and Larry was bored. Nice shot at Sarah
    Palin, but what did she do to embarass this
    week, as far as I know she took a job on
    Fox news, and was honest about not doing
    enough to teach her daughter to have avoided
    teen pregnancy, that seemed more courageous
    and refreshinly candid, she didn’t blame anyone
    besides herself and daughter. They are also
    pursuing support from Levi Johnson to hold
    him accountable for his child, all that seems
    positve, but Larry can’t help himself. I think
    Palin is an idiot, but can’t we also be fair
    about it? Not just trash her for good measure
    to reassure liberal insecurities manifest
    post Scott Brown Landslide?

    Ed named a number of sports figures that are
    not role models, what else do they have in
    common?

    Will- people like you are scary- a complete and unabashed member of sheep flock. This country is in bad shape when any voter believes 100% in any political party or candidate. This just may be contributing to the problems that we presently have- thanks to the clowns to the left of me and jokers to the right.

    Bob- people like you are probably biased-a complete antisocial member of society. When an individual commits 100% to a party or a cause they lay it on the line. Unlike a wavering idiot like you who vacillates on every issue and thinks of what’s best for himself and not society as a whole.

    I think she is the first ever black
    Meterologist in Philadelpia, she might
    have broken another color barrier, does
    anyone remember a black weather woman?
    If she’s the first its amazing that it
    took until now. When you close your eyes
    she sounds white, as Democrat Harry Reid
    would say “no Negro Dialect”.

    Ken Matz died today, a good looking newscaster

    Awesome day yesterday. Window replacement demo at Home Depot was fascinating. Lots of shimming. I love shimming. Lots of weatherproofing talk. I like that too. Seared skate at the Deep Blue last night. You just can’t find good seared skate anymore. Must be a lost art. I got a couple of my grand daughter’s chicken fingers. It was like a surf and turf evening.
    What to my wondering eyes should appear this morning but a bright and shiny new blog topic. Biased and inane as usual but a blog topic change nonetheless. Kudos on the quick turn Lar. See you can do it if you try. It’s not that hard. It’s just a matter of paying a little attention. Now if you would just remember how participate and interact a bit more with the ‘knuckleheads’ here you would have something. We might even cut you a little slack on your bias and choice of topics. Maybe a little slack.
    You dangle a paragraph “He is also, as we learned on TV last year, not a great golfer.” Were you referring to Tiger or Barkley? It’s not clear like so many of your rushed points and criticisms.
    Not so sure I’d go to Mississippi to cure my sexual problems. He may come back with a different set of sexual problems and partners. Soo wee.
    Bernacke and Geithner were bad choice and bad performers. Like their boss they are Harvard elitests that are good with concepts but bad in practice. We’ll all be better when the 3 of them are gone. Is Bernie Madoff the next head of the Fed? Barney Frank? God bless us if he is.
    Ahhh yes Larry the obligatory Sarah Palin shot. Never has anyone who has done so little and affected so few had such a profound effect on one Larry Kane. What is your deal? Why do you distain her so? In a week that you could have taken a legitimate swipe at John Edwards for his unconscionable behavior with a tramp campaign worker affecting a wife dying of cancer and then lying about his love child for a year hoping his wife would die before he had to come clean. But he’s spared because he’s a liberal and has a good heart huh Lar. You only serve to further embarrass yourself with your catty comments about Sarah Palin. At least she got a job on Fox News – fair and balanced. That’s a concept foreign to the press in generally and specifically to this site. Would you prefer another liber rump swab like Rachel Maddow or Keith Olberman?
    “More and more, people are looking for leadership, and new ideas.” Yes those 60% of Americans that voted for what would become the Obamanation of America aren’t happy now. They are stuck with a lost soul that can read a speech on a teleprompter but can’t find a solution to one issue despite spending trillions of dollars. They are stuck with a lost soul hell bent on socializing America into a communistic state while Americans writhe and suffer through record unemployment and a horrid economy. They are stuck with an elitest dictator that tries to divert attention from his failed policies by turning the populace anger toward him and his failed regime toward the banks and bank CEOs. Leadership? New Ideas? Americans bought this fraud hook line and sinker. Now they have to suffer through 3 more of the worst years in American history because of his ‘leadership and new ideas’. You flaming liberals make me sick Larry. Sick!

    Impeachment in 2010! Can it really get any worse?

    Good point about John Edwards. He was a VP
    candidate and ran for president while
    lying to his dying wife and the American
    people. He was in the news this week, thus
    a “newsmaker”, with obscene denial of his
    own flesh and blood for two years. He also
    wanted to get a doctor to falsify DNA test
    to show him not to be the father. Can you
    imagine what his ethics were as a personal
    injury lawyer?

    However, Larry Kane feels Sarah Palin
    continued to embarass herself? Edwards
    embarrassed and shamed himself and his
    family in an unprecedented manner, yet
    Larry is silent about John Edwards. This
    pretty much says it all about the liberal
    bias of Larry Kane.

    Was Larry Kane ever considered to be a
    neutral voice in politcs or did he just
    move to the left in recent years? I know he
    thinks he’s even handed, but when you read what
    he writes ( and doesn’t write e.g. John Edwards
    etc.) You wonder if he knows he’s biased and
    just thinks readers are stupid, or will be
    swayed by his leftist bias. He is a remarkable
    man, in that he keeps trying to tell the liberal
    lies over and over as if to make them true.

    My brother Wendell Potter is a former Cigna executive who has defamed the good name of the Cigna Insurance Company. He has gone on Dateline NBC and told lies about the reimbursement process. Insurance companies don’t kill people, diseases and accidents kill people. The consumers inability or lack of will to pay their own way or to read their policies is the problem.

    There is a limit to how much and what Herculean measures should be taken to save a life. There is a limit for everyone, consumers need to learn to accept death and understand a monetary limit to how much can be spent on any one person to extend their life. Death is a fact of life, don’t blame the insurance companies, they bring costs down and save lives everyday.

I tried to get into health insurance but denied so many claims I was forced out of business by competitors who provided a fair deal.

    Waiting for the 7:01. Oh how I hate Mondays. They are a bit better now that Jack is back. Dune dune dune dune.
    The conversation always runs amuck here when Dems get called out on substantive topics. As opposed to debate and dialogue they take shots at conservatives. Cases in point Scott Brown, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and even Mark Sanford (even though the jamoke writing had no idea what his name was). To argue that Mark Samford was as bad as John Edwards is truly sad. Truly sad indeed. Everytime a Dem is discredited these jamokes rush to bash Rush or start rail’in on Palin. A very childish and immature approach. But that is what we are dealing with here children. Lemmings. Sheep. Immature nonthinkers that follow their socialistic regime leadership blindly into a communistic state. The Peoples’ Republic of America. Massachusetts is a microcosm. The breeding ground for state control and mind manipulation. At least until last Tuesday that is.
    Scott Brown represents everything that is wrong to Dems like this jamoke and Larry Kane. Independent minds that are bucking the current regime with the lemmings blindly following into communism. Like Jonestown and Jim Jones. Barack had all Dems drinking the coolaid and asking for more. If you don’t drink the coolaid you are a pedophile, stupid or worse? Do I have it right? Larry do you agree with this jamoke?
    John McCain is a joke. He has been pretty silent on everything until lowly Scott Brown helped him find his voice again. What a maverick! What a joke. All he really cares about is prolonging his stay at the teet of the government. He loves the beltway lifestyle he claims he is not part of. They are all in the same boat – GOP and Dems – they are part of a tight knit group. Like a social club with secret handshakes. They pretend to hate each other and debate but in reality they have more in common than not. Opulent lifestyles at the taxpayers expense. Lobbyist money for entertainment and travel. Pretty sweet deal. That’s why people want to get into Congress and fight so hard to stay there.

    Impeachment in 2010! May the spirit of Massachusetts transcend the gridlock of Washington.

    Don’t believe everything happiness says
    Nothings as real as our old reckless ways

    Emanuel Jewish? Seemed Hispanic, but Ed is correct according to Wikapedia. His life experience suggests sympathy toward militant Zionism, strong union allegiance, Hollywood connections etc. Emanual never lets a crisis go to waste. I’d say he has one hell of a crisis on his hands post Scott Brown. Now Biden’s son is not going to run, that has to be connected to MA oucome, Joe probably sees writing on wall and doesnt want his son to squander legacy on upcoming election where Beau would surely lose.

    From Wikepedia:
    Emanuel was born in Chicago, Illinois to Jewish parents.[4] His father, Benjamin M. Emanuel, a Jerusalem-born pediatrician, was a member of the Irgun, a militant Zionist group that operated in the British mandate of Palestine between 1931 and 1948.[5][6] His mother, Marsha Smulevitz, was the daughter of a Chicago union organizer.[1] She worked in the civil rights movement and owned, briefly, a local rock and roll club.[5] She is now a psychiatric social worker.[5] The two met in Chicago in the 1950s.[1] Emanuel’s older brother Ezekiel J. Emanuel is an oncologist and bioethicist, and his brother Ari Emanuel a Hollywood talent agent.[7] He has an adopted sister, Shoshanna, 14 years his junior.[5][7]

    Emanuel’s first name, Rahm (??) means high or lofty in Hebrew, and is the namesake of one Rahamim (surname unknown), which means mercy in Hebrew. [8][9] The surname Emanuel (??????), adopted by the family in honor of his father’s brother Emanuel Auerbach, killed in Palestinian-Jewish fighting in Jerusalem, means God is with us. Sources conflict as to whether the family changed its name from Auerbach in 1933 or 1938.[5][8][9]

    When the family lived in Chicago, Emanuel attended Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Jewish Day School, a Conservative Jewish day school.[10] After his family moved to Wilmette, he attended public schools: Romona School, Wilmette Junior High School, and New Trier West High School.[1][11] He and his brothers attended summer camp in Israel, including just after the 1967 Six Day War.[5][12]

    Waiting for the 7:01. Late again.
    I’m not sure if Ed is calling me out like everyone else on this site. Are you Ed? What’s up with the Angry Ed routine? We love you Ed and don’t take things personally. Besides I suspect there are far more bloggers at work here than one lone assassin seeking your permanent humiliation and personal destruction.
    Well the rats are starting to jump of the sinking SS Obama. Rep Marion Berry has announced he won’t seek re-election in the fall. How many more will leap to an early political death rather than face losing in their own states and districts? Cowards.
    The decision not to run in the fall by my son should not be considered as cowardly. I advised Beau to sit out 2010 and wait for a more favorable political climate for Dems. Afterall if you can’t win in a tiny state like Delaware how can you be expected to be taken seriously. He can bide his time (no pun intended) in Delaware as the Attorney General. We don’t want another replay of Martha Coakly. Not that Beau is as incompetent or impersonal as Coakly but you get my drift.
    Things have been very quiet on the healthcare front. I think Reid and Pelosi are trying to determine if they can twist enough arms to get this turkey through. The political landscape has changed and they recognize it. They are concerned about their own political futures and want to remain SOH and Majority Whip. They don’t want to lose those positions. They have worked too hard to get there. Afterall it’s all about staying in Washington not actually doing anything while you are there. It’s about posturing and positioning. It’s about focus groups and the current temperature of your constituents.

    Impeachment in 2010! Is there really another alternative?

    Ed ascribes way weight too much to the lone blogger

    and thus his conspiracy theory of a single
    bloogger helps him reduce cognative dissonance
    that arises when he has to confront that more

    Obama will be sucking up to the so called
    middle class tomorow night. What he doesn’t
    yet realize is the white middle class vote has
    already gone wobbly on him. It was much thinner
    than any of us thought. When he backed professor
    Gates and rushed to judement against Cambridge
    police there was a collective ” what the Fuck?”
    among whites who had given him the benefit of the
    doubt. He was even more tone deaf about white
    working sensibilites when he mocked Scott Brown’s
    pick up truck. He warns voters not to get into his
    truck. A guy who campaigns in ernest, working hard
    driving a simple pick up truck to win votes and
    Obama laughs at him. These two things seem minor
    but when your support is thin to begin with it
    turns the tide pretty fast. Whites are bailing
    on Obama as fast as they swung behind him, it seems
    his advisors underestimated how transient his
    White supporters could be, its a new phenomena
    in post racial America, and they need to stem it
    ASAP.

    Waiting for the 7:01. Today will be a long day. State of the Union at 9PM. Post SOU cocktails at the White House. I’ll be sleeping in the Lincoln Room tonight. Who knows how many of Clinton’s bimbos slept in that bed. Rumor had it that Laura Bush had all the guest rooms fumigated after Clinton left the White House. Probably a good idea.
    SOU is always an exciting event. If things in the US are good or bad the opposition tries to bring you down. It will be like ducks on the pond tonight for the GOP. Where do they start? How much time will the networks give them?
    Barack will rail on jobs and job creation tonight like it has been his cornerstone and centerpiece issue since taking office. He’ll throw out real life examples of working class Americans that are struggling. He’ll have some sitting in the House chambers tonight so the networks can pan to them as he waxes on about all the administration has done and how it takes time to undo the wrongs of the Bush administration. He’ll tell you how the stimulus package is gradually producing results. He’ll announce his new trillion dollar jobs package designed to encourage companies to hire back people faster than they had planned. He’ll tell you ‘job #1 is putting America back to work’! Truth is that he hasn’t a clue as to how to do that. He’s as lost as most Americans searching for a job. But he heard the Peoples’ Republic of Massachusetts and he now knows that jobs are what people want to hear about. So that is what he will spend the majority of his time talking about tonight.
    His real dilemma is health care. What does he do now? If he starts over from scratch and let’s the GOP participate as they suggest he runs the risk of never getting a plan or at the very least a compromise that no one will be happy with. If he rams the current plan home he runs the risk of further alienating Americans. It is now a lose-lose situation. He will spend hours trying to strategize on how he can turn the health care debate into blaming the GOP for its failure to launch. Good luck with that.
    I have to sit there for 90 minutes during the SOU without saying a word. Do you know how hard that is for me? Then I have to sit next to that insufferable Nancy Pelosi. Thank God she can’t say anything either. I have to stare at those Botox lips for 1.5 hours. Wow! The things I do for my country. What a great American I am!

    Impeachment in 2010! Barack will be build a case for his own impeachment tonight with each word he speaks.

So Gecko do you think Pelosi is going to wear the red power suit, or is she going to show some deference to the struggling middle class and tone it down a bit and go with her pale green (I hate Bush) ensemble. Michele Obama is going to be sitting with a local Phila. grocer, so I imagine she’ll be wearing a burlap bag. Why a Phila grocer?

    Slept in this morning. Bed here in the Lincoln Room is not very comfortable. Firm mattress must be for better boinking. I had the FBI run ultraviolet light over the sheets and blankets. They must have been replaced since the Clintons left. No stains visible.
    I know Ed was asking about the attire for the SOU. Barack told us to wear purple. Purple symbolically being the combination of red and blue. Get it? I wore a purple tie. Michelle and Nancy wore purple dresses. I’m surprised that Barack was not wearing a purple suit like Michael Irvin or Shannon Sharpe or Deion Sanders would wear on NFL Live.
    Everything last night was very carefully scripted from our attire to the speech to the poignant pauses to stares at the GOP to his nose pointed into the air. The air of arrogance with some faint self deprecating comments and a smattering of humility. All very carefully planned and rehearsed for maximum affect. Make no mistake this was the act of a lifetime. This was Oscar worth. Best Actor. Best Director. Best Producer. Best Short Film. Oscars all.
    I have to agree with Fish. I suspect I did look like a bobblehead doll nodding approvingly with each comment. What else was I suppose to do? Yell lier? Rest assured 12 months from now as I chair the impeachment proceedings I’ll be nodding with approval then as now.
    Barack did his best to turn the tide of unrest and discontent. I suspect that those that did not believe him yesterday morning still don’t. Those that want to believe in him and his mission of change may give him a second chance. But he has set himself up to fail. It is all about jobs now. He can’t create jobs. Only US business can create jobs. They don’t trust him or his administration. It will be a mexican standoff. No jobs. No re-election.
