Jenny Sanford As TV Host? – Thanks For Snow Job
Waiting for the snow Friday night, I captured the Jenny Sanford interview with Barbara Walters. It was so refreshing – an individual unafraid to say what she felt, candid in her assessment of her marriage and the way things turned out. Sanford was so genuine in her reaction to the affair that ended her marriage and her husband’s political career in the process.
What amazed me was that she appeared to be as surprised by the soap opera as most of us were back in the early summer when Governor Sanford was detoured on his “hike” on the Appalachian trail, to Buenos Aires.
I don’t know Jenny Sanford, nor do I comprehend what she wants for the future. There are sons to bring up and there’s the complicated extrication from a public marriage. But she might want to consider a career as television host or correspondent. She has credibility and a realness about her that appears to be a touch of honesty in a celluloid world.
SNOW JOB –
This should go without saying but I’ll say it anyway. Kudos to the police, firefighters, highway workers in all three states , and to the rescue squads and power company employees who made us so much safer during another big snowstorm. These steady hands of our society are often overlooked and not appreciated.

Soumds like Larry is smitten with Jenny Sanford.
It’s understandable, I saw the show and she
came off as very competant, the brains behind
the mouth of her husband. He was a cheap bastard,
thought a used bicycle was a nice gift, he does’t
deserve her. Jenny Sanford is also a Yummy
Mummy, and that’s what really caught Larry’s
attention!
I’m not saying that Jenny wouldn’t make a great talk show host but as a wife she didn’t even have a clue to their marriage when her husband to be (Mark)requested they take the word faithful out of their wedding vows. Not a very good start to “till death do us part”. BTW Larry with all the money being spent on HDTVs don’t you think the viewer deserves to see Babs Walters without the “soft camera” shots. What a rip off.
Kudos to you Larry for spelling the names of the athletes correctly. As for your fantasy I would get outside and get some fresh air. I think you’ve been cooped up too long. I’ll bet you’ve been hearing Merril Reese calling out QBs sacks, and long TD passes from McNabb. The fact that he is your next door neighbor might give credence to that phenomenon.
Alan Greenspan needs to be put in a nursing
home. He made huge mistakes that caused the
housing debacle, admitted that he just babbled
to Congress to say nothing, yet David Gregory
invites him to Meet the Press as if his views
matter. He is just scaring people who don’t
understand what’s really happening. Adrea Mitchell
needs to put him away now!
Coming off a Jack hangover. Passed out around 8PM. I’m not sure if I’m well rested or just still wasted. It was like a scene stolen from Jack Nicholson’s movie ‘The Shining’ around here yesterday. Everyone was going a bit loony. It got scary until the Jack got the best of me.
The snowplows got here around 11AM. So much for national security. The Russkis could have fired off all their ICBMs and we would have been powerless to stop them. Between phone and power lines down and lack of mobility we were a sitting duck. We had govt officials more interested in making snow angels than monitoring ICBMs. Winter wonterland my ass.
Ed I have some input for your dilemma. I have vast experience with live in maids and nannies. A man of means like Lord Abott may chime in as well. Anyway. The Russki babe is less likely to have sex with you. She’ll have a bad attitude. She’d likely be casing your joint for a Russki mob. Your place will be next on their list of places to rob.
As for the Peruvian girl she will be far more likely to have sex and be more pleasant to be around. She’ll do a half ass job cleaning and blame it on the language barrier. She’ll be calling in sick often leaving you hanging. She too will be casing your place for a Colombian mob crew to rob you blind. Pretty much same end result either way. I’d opt for a Scandanavian chick like Tiger. They are all beautiful and dependable workers. You don’t hear about Swedish mob crews robbing homes. You don’t hear about Norse nannies killing their families. A much better choice.
If you are forced to choose between Anna and Charo make sure they wear a french maid’s outfit when they are working. And inventory your possessions on a videocamera for insurance purposes. I hope that helps.
Stop swingin’ the bat. Put the bat down, Dr Jill. Dr Jill? Give me the bat…
Impeachment in 2010! Before we all go mad!

I can’t keep up with Larry’s frentic pace of change. You go girl! Can’t believe Larry passed up yet another shot at Sarah Palin. He is amazing sometimes.
I’m still reading through the healthcare bill. I’m up to page 567. Rivetting.
Snow is melting. I will escape Wilmington.
Impeachment in 2010! Healtcare goes first and then Barack.

I Was feeeling a little constipated from eating a lot of juck food while snowed in. My wife said her grandmother had a home remedy that really worked on her father. It’s a warm Milk & Molasses enema. After trying a bunch of over the counter stuff that didn’t work I asked for Nanny Graham’s special bummy recipe. Boy did it clean me out, plus it felt really great! I strongly recommend everyone try a milk & Molasses enema, you dont have to be constipated, just try it! You’ll like it!
Who would even think of sticking warm milk and molasses where the sun don’t shine? Tat could be one of the most bizarre comments ever on this website.
VPJ, missed your morning missive. Glad to see you are up and around.
Larry, kudos on yet another topic change. Our collective heads are spinning.
Larry, do you see the irony in the most PC person in the world commenting on the honesty of Jenny Sanford? Think about it… that’s enough.
Larry is right about snow clean up, Rendell
and Nutter did a great job, managers at
PennDot and the city have done far better
than past storms. The timing was also as
perfect as could be on a weekend. No
excuse to not be out and about now!
BTW Bob, I asked my grreat aunt who was a
Nurse in 1940s and she said the warm milk
and molasses treatment was quite common back
in the day. Never would have thought that was
real, but it is, however not for recreational
use according to her. Appartently hospitals
stopped it in 1950s because it got too popular
and in McCarthy era an unamerican activity.
Julia Childs use to give them to her husband.
LA, ask your aunt about fluff and peanutbutter. Called a nutter butter.
Great super bowl game so far, looks like Larry might have called another one, oh wait, he’s calling for the Colts to win…..wow, does he ever get anything right?
Welp Larry you were in good company, Greenspan
Was for Colts, Palin was for Saints, what the
hell does that dopey woman know-right?
Larry is like Obama. He has his entourage of experts who keep on telling him what to say. Unfortunately like Obama most of the advice he gets is wrong.
I don’t like to blow my own horn, but I did predict a Saints win. I only hope those of you who read my predictions took advantage of the information. All I know is that I might buy a new Buderus heater. What the heck it’s free money.
Congratulations Ed! It was a great game and
nice to see the underdog win for a change.
Waiting in the warm Secret Service SUV for the 7:01. Can’t believe it’s already Monday morning.
It was a great SuperBowl indeed. Not just because the underdog Saints won but because of how they won. Peyton choked. Gagged. Spit the bit. I like so many I am tired of the incessant fawning over Manning. His really bad commercials. The claims as greatest QB ever. He gets the Obama treatment. He walks on water. He is flawless. He is Superman.
In fairness to Superman he has been on a phenomenal run of regular season wins and stats. I tip my hat to him. But the fact remains that no matter how good the Colts are during the regular season they find ways to lose in the playoffs. Jim Kelly will be remembered for taking the Bills to 4 consecutive SBs and losing all 4. Will Peyton ultimately be remembered like Jim Kelly or Dan Marino. The guy that set all the records but never won it all? We’ll see. He’s not done. He will continue to rack up yards and stretch the records. Will he continue to find a way to lose in the playoffs?
I was sitting there with Dr Jill. I was saying to her as Peyton got the ball back down 24-17 with almost 5 minutes left that this might be the greatest SB ever. A tough rock’em sock’em battle with 2 QBs battling it out. No errors. Few penalties or controversies. If they drive down the field and tie the score. Wow.
But they didn’t. Peyton choked. He throws the pick 6. The Saints hold on for a 31-17 win. The nation rejoices. All the good stories surrounding Drew Brees and the Saints and the ravaged city of New Orleans. The Saints may have been America’s team. Most people were pulling for them. But they bet on Superman and his Colts. Lots of losers today Ed withstanding. America would truly be happy if they knew that Ed will now have heat as a result of the Saints’ upset. That is the American way – gamble your way to security.
So Superman will be allowed to go back to Indianapolis and fine tune his game and continue to rack up stats. He will be talked about as the greatest QB in the history of the NFL. He’ll likely play another 5-6 years. The Colts will win 11-14 regular season games a year. Lucas Field will be the scene of many playoff games. Superman will go down as one of the top 3 QBs of all time.
There is an uneasy comparison to Barack. The one that promised so much but failed to deliver in the end. They both have the press believing their shit don’t stink. They both have the press exaggerating their successes and apologizing for their failures. Neither can do any wrong. The press is in love with the man – not the accomplishments. Both will go down in history as Superman. Will history remember each man as the man of promise or the man that failed to accomplish his goals? Time will tell.
For now we can relish in the Saints exciting come from behind victory. We can start our collective Mardi Gras parties 2 weeks early. We can wear our Bourban Street beads and Who Dat t-shirts. We can annoint Sean Payton as the NFL’s newest genius. We can extort the virtues of hardwork and comebacks. We can’t forget the image of Superman throwing a pick 6 at the most critical juncture of the game.
Impeachment in 2010! Don’t wait for Barack to spit the bit.

Wow joe, you really out did yourself today.
I’m happy for New Orleans and that beautiful
moment of Brees with his son. Also glad to
see Larry kept his perfect record of being
wrong intact, that was the sweetest part.
By the by Fish is correct about the irony of Larry embracing Jenny Sanford’s refreshing genuineness and honesty. Further that these traits would make her a good future candidate to become a member of the media. Doesn’t he realize that these qualities disqualify her for a job in the media?
Impeachment in 2010! While we still have Medicare!

VP Joe-Actually Manning has one SB title.The Colts beat the Bears 3 or 4 years ago though Manning didn’t have a great game.
Hey Peyton Manning, where are you going after the Super Bowl?
I’m going to the Heimlich Institute for immediate treatment.
John Murtha dead at 77!!!
Time for an obit blog, Larry?
Larry, can Jenny Sanford be a guest website blog host here? You are no fun anymore now that you aren’t bashing Republicans.
Ed, Larry is all alone. He only wishes he had an entourage.
LA, Larry should know better than to venture into the realm of professional sports due to his complete lack of general knowledge on the subject. Very similar to his situation in national politics.
RIP John Murtha. Does that mean another runoff election and lost seat for the Dems in Congress before November?
Larry should probably be allowed to take a free
shot at Palin for her tea party speech.
She sounded like she was running for senior
class president, and the notes on her hand??
Come on. guess this explains why she attended
Six colleges before finding one that would graduate
her. Newt Gingrich will take her apart in Republican
primary. There is no learning curve flat enough
to get Sarah ready for prime time.
If Tina Fey was playing Sarah Palin and reading
notes off her hand to answer interview questions
many would have said they went too far. Apparently
Sarah parodies herself better than SNL ever could.
Larry, be my guest, it is fair and balanced to
point out her latest charade.
LA, Larry has a long way to go before he’ll be considered fair and balanced. Likely 5-6 more years of laying off the GOP.
LA, I think the GOP needs to get away from the talking heads we’ve seen for the last 20 years. That includes Gingrich, Palin, McCain, etc.
How dumb is Sarah Palin? Almost as dumb as the people who take her seriously. She had to make crib notes on her hand to remind herself that she supports tax cuts (not budget cuts — she put a line through that . . . on her hand) and “lifting American spirits.” Who knew she like additive free tobacco products manufactured by native Americans? Can someone please reveal that she has sex with huskies so that we can throw her in the dustbin of history?
How dumb is Tina Tuna?
Who thought that “The Who” fell a little flat?
Anderson Cooper is the CNN Reporter is used the
homoerotic term “teabagging” to dicredit the tea
party movement. I just watched the clip, a very
elitist joke, he said it was hard to talk while
teabagging. I guess we now know that Anderson is
the one to take the man’s ball sack in his mouth,
that’s the essence of his joke. Is there any doubt
why average Americans think their is a liberal
condescending elitist bias? I think we can fairly
critique Palin and the teaparty movement without
resorting to gay 8th grade boy lockeroom humor.
Lord Abott we all know you secretly admire Sarah Palin. Get over it you raunchy old man. Looking at your palm after seeing her must be a messy mess. Sarah would love to have your vote in the next election so keep your palm ready.
Damian, you are a crude disgusting man,
who longs for Anderson Cooper’s teabag.
Waiting for the 7:01. It gets later everyday. What does snow have to do with a train anyway?
I read an interesting article in US News & World Review this weekend. It speculates that Barack will dump me in 2012 and run with Hillary Clinton as his VP. Speculation is that he needs a woman to help him get re-elected. That Hillary would be in line as the next President for 2016 election. It eliminates a messy primary battle between the 2 that he might end up lossing. She’s said she’d only do Sec of State for 4 years. Some write it off as mere cocktail party chatter.
Little does Barack know that it won’t get that far. The drums for impeachment are already beating in the distance. By 2012 he’ll be nothing more than a bad memory. I’ll be the sitting President looking to get re-elected not vice versa. I’ll be the one trying to reverse all the bad spending and legislature he is responsible for.
A USN&WR poll in the same article says that 55.88% of Americans give him a F- grade so far. Over half of Americans! I would have to concur with that evaluation.
Lord Abott you are happy with the Brees’ Kodak moment. I’m happy about the Peyton Manning Kodak moment following the pick 6 when he realizes he just screwed the pooch. Again. Queue Barbara Streisand singing ‘Memories’ from ‘The Way We Were’.
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
Impeachment in 2010! Before Barack can save himself.
