The Joe Sestak “Question” – Anatomy Of An Interview That Spread Like Wildfire
So how did it happen? How did a straightforward question and blunt answer bring anxiety to the White House? I’ll tell you the story.For over three months now, friends and others have asked me to recount the events of February 18th of this year, when a single question from me to Congressman Joe Sestak unleashed a controversy that remains to this day. Is it a political issue? Is it illegal? I can’t answer those questions, but I can tell you how casually it all happened, and what basis I had for asking the question. Here’s the transcript:
“Larry Kane: I have a question for you. I don’t know how accurate this is but a lot of reports are that the party has tried very hard to get you out of this race.
Joe Sestak: Haha, yes.
LK: Were you ever offered a federal job to get out of this race?
JS: Yes.
LK: Was it the Navy Secretary?
JS: No comment. I – let me –
LK: Was it high-ranking?
JS: Let me just say that both here in Pennsylvania and down there, I was called quite a few times and all I’ve said is, look, I felt when a deal was made that it was hurting the democratic process, I got into this because I think that deal started getting us off the track of where the Democratic party should go. I would never get out for a deal. I’m in this for the Democratic principles and working families.
LK: Okay, but, was there a job offered to you by the White House?
JS: Ye-
LK: That’s what I want –
JS: Yes. Someone offered — yeah.
LK: It was big, right?
JS: It was — never — let me not comment on it. We had a closed comm–
LK: Yeah, but you’re going all the way.
JS: I’m in this all the way for the working family. Look, I love the Navy. It’s the best thing I ever did in my life except get married. It took me 8 years, I proposed to my wife, 8 years later she said yes. And have my beautiful daughter. But this is the next best job — to pay back this nation for having had those wonderful years in the Navy–
LK: Well, we’ve run out of time with the best question I had.”
And that was true. But why was I the first. There was buzz about this story since last summer. A few days before the February 18th taping of Voice Of Reason for The Comcast Network, I was advised by two reliable sources that someone in or close to the White House had dangled a high level job offer to Sestak, to give a clear path to Senator Specter for the nomination. I thought it would be a good thing to pose the question to Sestak in the upcoming interview.
The Sestak interview was the second in this contest. I interviewed Specter a week before.
I prepared for the program with an outline of questions. But on that Thursday I was having a very hectic day. I was a little overwhelmed with work. I forgot to put the question in my outline. Suddenly, with 90 seconds left, I remembered!
The news business can have moments that are so unpredictable. I knew the questionwas a good one, based on some really good sources, but I was flabbergasted when Sestak said “Yes.” There was no hesitation. No delay. He just said, “Yes.”
As the Congressman left the building, there was an obvious dilemma. The show wouldn’t air till Sunday the 21st. The story could be big. I called Comcast executives. With their blessing, I broke the story with an audio interview on KYW Newsradio. But first there was work to do. I needed a White House response.
I called the White House Press Office. I played the interview for the individual who answered the phone. She said someone would call me back. A few minutes later, another individual called. She said the White House would call back with a reaction “shortly.” That was 3:45 in the afternoon.
The report aired all night without a White House response.
At 6:45 the next morning, 15 hours later, a Deputy Press Secretary called. She said, “You can say the White House says it’s not true.”
A similar call was placed to the Inquirer’s Tom Fitzgerald. Tom was in the studio during the show taping. He was following Sestak around, working on a feature story. He took the story to page one of the Friday Inquirer.
A few days ago, both of us were still wondering why it took the White House 15 hours to issue a simple denial.
The rest is history, peculiar history. The “job offer” story never became an issue in the campaign although some would suggest the story played well to Sestak’s argument that he was a real Democratic independent.
But on May 19th, a day after his upset victory over Specter, the February interview became an internet hit. Republcans, arguing that it may have been a crime to offer a job in return for a withdrawal from a political contest. Democrats, only recently, called for the truth on this story. The President, saying nothing was improper, promised a White House statement “shortly.”
The entire episode, now broadcast and printed around the nation, is also a popular item on the web.
There are several things I want you to know. I’m surprised that Washington reporters never asked the question in the first place, I’m surprised that Sestak answered so quickly when I posed the question.
But most of all, I’m stunned that a rather simple question, turned into a political firestorm. You never really know where the pursuit of news will take you.
The story may not be over. Republicans will want more than just a White House counsel’s report.
But the beginning to this saga may be more interesting than the end.
One thing I do know is that, as the question was being asked, Joe Sestak never hesitated. In a split second, he just said, “yes.”

It’s good to see there still is the occasional reporter who reports news, and is not a political “hack” pundit shilling for one side or the other. Thank You Mr Kane!
Waiting for the 7:01. Wow Lar you must have lost your job at CN8. This is not a typical PC Larry story. You actually sound angry. Channel your anger toward that tool Barack.
Since Larry had a cathartic exerience sometime late last night when he published this News Flash I will have one of my own. I have been a mole for Larry in Washington for years. Back in the day we use to scratch each other’s back and pound them down at the Ben Franklin when I was in Philly. Larry help build my cred. I gave him news flashes. Quid pro quo. Over the years as I’ve risen in national prominence and Larry has diminished in stature it has become more of a one way street. That’s okay. Larry is a good egg. He never bought a drink but a good egg non-the-less. There I said it.
Yes I leaked the Sestak story to Lar but I don’t see the big deal. People get offered jobs in DC all the time as a means of influencing behavior. Personally I think outrageously bribing congressman to vote for the Healthcare bill like Nebraska Sen Nelson’s Cornhusker Kickback and Louisiana Sen Landrieu’s Lousiana Purchase are far more prosecutable. Not even a sensure. Not even a word from the press except for FOX News. That has me scratching my head. Sestak is small potatoes. The Healthcare buyouts should have been the end of the Obama presidency. Go figure.
TGIF. My summer officially begins. Breakfast at Maggies. Over to Home Depot for demo on installing sink fixtures. A round of golf at Bear Trap in Bethany. Dinner with the family at the Parkway. Then on to the Parrott. Slamming Kamikazes. Slamming sailors. Oh yeah that’s what I’m talking about.
Everyone enjoy your Memorial Day weekend. Remember what Memorial Day is all about. It’s not about cookouts or vacations or gay bars. It’s about remembering our servicemen that have given their lives before us. I may be a draft dodger like Larry but I understand that. Barack clearly doesn’t. He’s the first sitting President since the 1921 not to lay a wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington on Memorial Day. He has to rush off to Chicago for a Paul McCartney concert. He’s trying to get me to do it in his stead. I think not dipstick.
Biden/Biden in 2012! We know what is important.
“As the Congressman left the building, there was an obvious dilemma. The show wouldn’t are till Sunday the 21st. The story could be big. I called Comcast executes. With their blessing, I broke the story with an audio interview on KYW Newsradio. But first there was work to do. I needed a White House response.”
are = air?
till = until?
executes = executives?
Larry, in your overzealousness to finally do a meaningful piece, you have abandoned all proper grammar and spelling. Do you not have spellcheck? Is this written in Eubonics? Sister Mary Elephant back at St Salvadors in Brooklyn has a paddle with your name on it.
[...] At first glance, this information seems bad for Sestak. The White House says he was never offered the Secretary of the Navy job. Yet Sestak continually refused to shoot down the notion that this was the proposition he received. Here’s a transcript from the initial February interview with Larry Kane: [...]
“Deregulation” is wonderful until we discover what happens when regulations aren’t issued or enforced. Everyone is a capitalist until a private company blunders. Then everyone starts talking like a socialist, presuming that the government can put things right because they see it as being just as big and powerful as its tea party critics claim.
Another Sestak story? That’s 4 in a row Larry. What’s up with that?
You’re welcome Larry. I identified this as a big “get” on the day you broke it. Shawn Hannity grabbing this story from you really bothers me. The next step for you is to let him and fox news know that if they are going to be making hay about this story they need to credit you and the Comcast network for breaking the story. You are not to be referred to as a reporter who asked a question. You are Larry Fucking Kane, God damn it, and you should be respected, especially by a deusche bag like Shawn Hannity. If I were you, I’d call Hannity and ask him why he is not properly crediting you for your work. If he is fair and balanced he will have you on for a brief segment to give context to what you have origianlly reported. Its only fair if he’s running hour long segments on this scandal, which Lord Abott declares should heretofor be referred to as “Sestak-gate”.
Good work Larry, now get out there and break some more news you old dog!
Webster would be proud of you keen eye for proper grammar and spelling Denial.
LA, nonstory. No legs. Old news. Who cares? Don’t encourage Larry to make a fool of himself.
Larry must have polished off a 4 pack of winecoolers while writing this missive. This is self adulation and ramblings like we’ve never seen before. I bet your keyboard is covered with orange crumbs as well. The question is: were you sitting in your den in your underwear banging out this gem last night?
YAP, can’t wait for Flyers-Hawks tomorrow night. Nothing better than playoff hockey. NBA playoffs? Yawnnnn.
Lord Abott, since when did Larry’s break through story become yours? WTF? You may have mentioned it but don’t twist your arm patting your own back. It is not very lordlike.
“Deregulation” is wonderful until we discover what happens when regulations aren’t issued or enforced. Everyone is a capitalist until a private company blunders. Then everyone starts talking like a socialist, presuming that the government can put things right because they see it as being just as big and powerful as its tea party critics claim.
Go to the record Fish boy, i made a big deal of it the day Larry broke the story- in a sincere way- and encouraged him to own it and run with it. It could be Obama’s first scandal, as it is illegal to use government jobs as bribes to not run for office, it was very Chicago and has Obama’s finger prints all over it.
I mocked Larry a few days ago for letting Hannity steal his story for fox news. Larry wised up and wrote a puff piece about himself and his link to this story. For that I am owed credit.
Larry should also claim credit for Sestak’s victory, because the truth of Sestak turning down the job bribe showed him to be an independent thinking outside the beltway kind of guy who is in huge demand for frustrated voters. Sestak owes larry kane as larry kane owes the great Lord Abott.
This is a story about bribery and politcal malfeasance and is a true scandal, but the liberal press wont give it legs. If Bush were trying to influence elections by having Karl Rove bribe politicians with high level appointments it would be front page on the NY Times everyday since February.
Proud of you Larry! Good Job!

Someone better make a copy of that interview and send it to a SAFE spot.
That is HISTORY baby. Watergate on NITRO. Now you have a conspiracy with Clinton getting involved. THIS WILL TAKE DOWN TWO PRESIDENTS AND A RETIRED ADMIRAL.. Makes Watergate looks like kid’s play.
Congrats Larry, The White House has just come clean, but its not over yet. They are still not crediting you or Comcast for breaking this big scandal!
Larry, I sense that you are unsure whether or not this is even a story. Me too. In fact waiting until the last few seconds of your show to ask Sestak the question points that out. Your “sources” which knew of the offer were probably using you to advance Sestak’s run for office. I’m sure much worse is negotiated by White House representatives. As VP Joe said, just look at the Health Care negotiations. The bottom line is that Obama is just like the rest of those politicians in Washington. He’s poisoned the well even more than the likes of Clinton and Bush. At least those guys didn’t promise “Hope and Change” along with transparency and openness in government.
I am going to miss Gary Coleman. He did so much to bring forward the issue of interracial adoption, child molestation and other social issues that had not been adressed on television. Gary was a taltented actor, but robbed by his parents and abused by an industry that used and discarded him when they were done. Hopefully better laws and protections are in place for child actors as a result of his sad life after Different Strokes. Dana Plato is dead, Todd Bridges murdered someone, and Hollywood cashed in- not very nice, was it? Mr Drummond feels sad and wishes he could have done more to save little Gary from his demons.
Hey Larry look at me! I can actually spell. Well spell check. Larry if I were you I’d give it a try. All you have to do is download the google tool bar. They give it to you for free………
Like me, no legs. No story. Not going anywhere.
You are right that Bush would have been nailed to the wall on this.
The English language is a wonderful thing. Were it not for laziness, everybody would be using it.
Lord Abott, come down off your high horse. You may be encouraging Larry but what are your motives? Another month of blogging on this site?
Sestak’s Wikipedia site had the White House “take” posted almost immediately following the release of the White House lawyers’ response. Pretty convenient.
You think old fish stink? Not as bad as this White House.
The only transparency we are seeing from the White House is incompetence and scandals.
Larry Kane has turned into Ted Baxter.
Well Mr. Kane, My conservative hat is hereby doffed to you. You and your sources have done a service to the citizens of the United States of America (not to be confused with the government of The United States of America—presently two totally different entities). Your query has initiated a sequence of events not unlike Bill Buckley Jr’s (and his friend Whittaker Chambers,) pursuit towards the conviction of Alger Hiss. The analogy finds Obama (and his Administration) as Hiss and Sestak as Chambers. But, alas, my analogy is not perfect. For, although you would agree you are not William F Buckley, Jr and Rep. Sestak lacks the honest conservative epiphany of a Whittaker Chambers (not to mention his present statement of 28 May 2010 wherein he walks back his simple answer to your famous and simple question), Obama and his Administration accurately represent the snake in the grass of Hiss.
The President’s socialist bona fides are well documented in word and deed from his asking (’Joe the Plumber’) “…why shouldn’t we share the wealth?” To his “…at some point we have earned enough [money]”, and this from a man who never actually held a paying job in the private sector. But Joe from Scranton has it right: Obama is in permanent ‘Campaign Mode’. From the sacrificed 20 year old relationship of his minister Rev. Jeremiah Wright to his attempt at distancing himself from BP and the oil spill in the Gulf, it’s all about Obama. The former action is politically understandable if not ignoble. The latter shows that Obama considers himself something other than the leader of the U.S. He seems to forget that his vaunted position as Chief Executive requires more than blaming America, and individual states, for past and present perceived bad behavior. This would require a leader that demonstrates his/her first and foremost concern is the welfare of U.S. citizens. His actions, both domestically and foreign, are certainly not that of a U.S. President who so cares.
As this is written conservative thinkers have parsed your original interview with Rep. Sestak and are coming to the conclusion that the White House is, well, disingenuous shall we say (see Daniel Foster on NRO http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NWE2OTUwMTg3YTEzOGUwOTBjZmFkNjQ3YTMzYjdlYTM= ). You, Sir, have provided even more evidence that this is true. The White House Counsel’s report now intimates a ‘non-paying advisory position’ offered by Bubba Clinton with Rahm hovering around in the backround.
Didn’t you say that after fifteen hours of rumination the WH originally told you that Sestak’s comments to you were “FALSE”? Now after months and months the WH comes up with this ‘Fractured Fairy Tale’? Can you say ‘Special Prosecutor’? I hear Robert Bork is free. We should ring him up!
JM
Gentlemen, we are not suddenly relevant here because everyone else is suddenly talking about the same nonstory.
I’m starting to feel that I own this story more than Larry does. Check the record yet fish boy?
Jay Leno just metnioned it. Action News did an extensive story on it tonight with diagrams, yet even they forgot to credit Larry in explaining how the story evolved. This story is a big God Damn deal, and anyone who thinks its not going to carry into fall election with Toomey has their head up their ass. It’s about ethics and involves presidents Clinton and Obama, former senator Spector (love saying that), Representative Sestak, White house chief of staff Emmanuel, and Chief White House counsel. By comparison, Watergate involved a couple second rate burglars rumaging around an empty campaign office and putting some tape on a door lock, they really didnt steal much of anything, yet that brought down a president.
Wake up and smell the Starbucks blogtards, this could be a Watergate level scandal, and it would already be if this president were a Republican. Rod Blagoyovich looks pretty innocent trying to get something in return for a political appointment, thats how its done in Chicago, as demonstrated by President Obama.
High horse. Nonstory. Get over it and yourself.
Low horse. Big Story. My importance and genius is self evident to all with IQs of at least 135.

Daniel Webster (May 28th, 2010 | 7:28 am) needs to check his Webster’s. ‘Till’ IS a legitmate word. In fact, as the American Heritage Dictionary explains, the word ’till’ is older than the word ‘until’.
One more point, Daniel Webster . . . what software checks for SPELLS? The software most writers use is called a SPELLING checker.
What is going on here? Every major and minor media agency in the country is talking about the Sestak story, yet none of them are crediting its origin. In academics and in business when something significant is cited it is footnoted or referenced or credited. Not so for Larry Kane’s work!
There is no question at this point that this story is second only to the oil spill in the current news cycle. Why the fuck is Larry Kane not being credited? I ask this with respect, because he is not getting it. I am the first person to criticize him if he says something I dont agree with or think is stupid. But here Larry has done great work, questioned the White house on the first day and gave them a chance to respond, posted it on his blog, and the white house lied to him. They then stumbled for months.
The Sestak story needs to be traced back to the day one when Larry broke it and we can begin to ask why the white house lies to an ernest reporter with the courtesey to play a tape of a real quote before he goes viral with it. Larry was a responsible restrained journalist following a story (very refreshing!). He has been disrespected.
Another question to be asked is why did the White house repulsively lie to Larry Kane on the first day? He gave them a fair chance for straight transparent talk and they blew him off. The white house assessment: this is some cable channel Jew from Philadelphia, tell him whatever in respeonse to his question, nobody watches him anyway. There is an element of anti semitism in this response from the White House, even if Larry will never admit it. Shawn Hannity on Fox makes a big deal about it and Larry Kane’s story is all over the world.
When Larry called the White House in February, I can assure you they realized this story was white hot and Rahm Emanuel himself was directly asked about it by the press office that Larry called to find out how to respond. Emanuel looked to see who was making the inquiry, and as a Jew, quickly judged Larry to be some small time liberal Jew who was probably symathetic to the cause, and who would in any event never make a big deal about it. Since after Emanuel checked the paper trail on Larry Kane, it was clear he was in Spector’s court for 30+ years and was likely sypathetic. (not that Larry was, but this was likley Emanuel’s short hand conclusion in deciding how to respond to Larry’s earnest and fair inquiry).
That’s the deal, Larry knows this is possible, but its way beyond the polite talk he can relate in his blog. Larry, the story is huge, but you are now not even a footnote. I believe if it turns watergate-esgue, you deserve some big credit. We also have to ask, why your good work was not respected and fully responded to by the white house months ago, it really should have been a two day story in February. It’s almost June and now its on fire? Much like a piece of tape in an office building lock in DC in early 1970s, it’s nothing, until it’s something!
Slow news week. People are tired of watch spill cam and press beating up on BP. Even the press questioning Obama. No bill of importance. Long weekend. Things must be slow if everyone is talking about Admiral Wrongway Sestak.
Larry,
give the Lord his props. He’s begging for adulation.
Come on Fish, props from you would mean almost as much!
Lord, you are the MAN! Larry is just your conduit.

You should work for ABC, CBS, NBC, & CNN… I’d say MSNBC but we all know how much of a joke that place is.
What good would an investigation do now??? Does anybody actually believe that the evidence trail has not been tampered with over the past few months ? All of the pertinent information has been altered and replaced with more favorable responses or just deleted. With the advanced technology of today, it is hard to believe that something damaging to the oval office could still be found. Is it a stretch of the imagination to think that Nancy P.U.losi had her fingers in this too ???
If this is something that has always been done in Washington, now is a great time to stop it !
So Don Obama orders Consiglieri Rahmba to settle a family problem up in Pennsylvania, and he has Bubba-Luca Brazi call Joey “The Leeward Sailor” Sestak and ask him nicely to back off and leave Snarlin’ Arlo’s territory alone. And Joey says no way, so Bubba-Luca makes him an offer he can refuse, and Joey not only refuses but he forgets the usual quiet way we do things, and he goes on the cable TV and he tells everybody in the world what went down— makes it sound serious, but he don’t say what the offer was and that Bubba-Luca made it. Meanwhile, Joey whacks Arlo, so Don Obama needs to fix things and he calls for a sit-down among all concerned, and presto, Joey’s back in the family’s good graces even though he broke omerta and defied the Don, and is probably gonna get whacked by the Twoomany family anyway. And then, get this: to add one more unordered anchovy to the pizza, now the Feds are back looking into things! This thing of ours is falling apart, and we done it to ourselves when we got behind the wrong guy when Don Giorgio retired. We shoulda got behind Bubba-Luca’s wife and then we coulda had some change to believe in.

Larry you’ve shot your wad on this story. You apparently are not getting your appropriate props. Lord Abott’s panties are in a bunch. Time to shift gears and topics. Do not subject us to another week of meaningless drivel and banter. Please change the topic from Specter-Sestak to anything else. Don’t be a one trick pony. Too late for that you say?

Well, why don’t we take a moment away from the Sestak saga, just one moment, and remember those who have died in the service of our country.
60 minutes and Sunday Morning had very nice stories about the sacrifices. One was of a 20 something man who had all four limbs blown off in Afganastan, but was not bitter, it was very moving.
Aother story was about real life hurt locker men who go out everyday and diffuse bombs. They then read the names and showed pictures of the 16 men in all branches of the service who died while diffusing bombs. All 16 men were white, and by names and appearance northern European Christian ethnicity. What are the odds in a military as divers as the U.S., where over 30% are minority, that all 16 bomb experts killed would we white, not a single minority represented? Is the military descriminating in not letting minorites train for such jobs? Or are they not smart or brave enough? Perhpas they are willing to take the benefits of miltary service, but migrate to the safer jobs (which is frankly what I would do). But this is a fair question, how could there be 16/16 white Christian men killed in such operations, it doesnt seem fair, or very inclusive of minorities.
Lord Abott, much to your surprise, I look forward to LA posts. You bring it everyday. You are never boring. Generally I even agree with your point of view. Larry, on the other hand, is a completely different story. There are posters and imposters on this site. You are clearly a poster.
Flyers 3-2 winners tonight. Gagne scores 2 goals. Big bad Buff is shutdown.
As the son of a proud WWII vet and a veteran myself, I would like to echo Lord Abott’s sentiment concerning Memorial Day. Too often we equate MD with hotdog cookouts, the shore or the opening of local pools. We should never forget those who gave their lives for our country and our way of life. It is party of what makes this the greatest country on earth by a mile.
Most of you posting comments here are doing nothing but complaining and bitching about everything that is moot. Larry’s grammar, Shawn Hannity, Larry himself. Let’s get real people. Once again….lets focus on the actual issues not all of the BS in between. It’s about vistory, regaining our individual liberties and getting these CRAZY F’n proggresive, socialist dems out of the capitol. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS and GOD BLESS AMERICA. WE TRULY ARE THE GEM OF THE PLANET. LETS NOT FORGET IT.
JUNTA you missed the point of this website. Larry discusses irrelevant topics and makes moot points. We fill up the space with nonsense. Larry sells his advertising space for more. We exercise our inner demons. No one gets hurt.
BTW, I’ll join a junta that overthrows this sorry excuse for an administration. I wonder if we could get Bush back on an interim basis?
Save the Fish!

We all know that Lord Abbot has an exaggerated ego. I mean who else would brag about what type of heater he has. As for Larry Kane and his question to Sestak, this is a tempest in a teapot. All Bill Cliton has to say is that he offered a position to Sestak if he stayed in the House of Representatives. “Joe I got a job for you on some important committee if you decide not to run for the Senate.”
Nuff said………..
As for the special day we all should embrace (except Larry who cares only about himself) I just returned from Gettysburg. There is no more sacred ground on the face of this earth than the battlefield that created over 50,000 American casualties in 3 days.
AG Tom Corbett must enpanel a Grand Jury, because Holder refuses to do his job. The explanation that Clinton offered the position opens up more questions than answers. Obama’s #1 man Axelrod said this is a serious crime, either committed by Sestak or Obama. A White House spokesman told Larry Kane it was a lie. Months later, Gibbs said conversations were held. Now Bill Clinton admitts to the bride. Clinton’s story makes no sense, why would Sestak leave for an unpaid position, and he is not the man Sestak described as “inside the White House” Besides it is still a bribe under the law. Further, there was collusion between the White House and Sestak’s brother for a scripted message to the media, another crime. Obama knows the truth and it will not be known without action from a Grand Jury.
I’m so glad Obama spent this Memorial Day in Chicago. That’s where he belongs. He is no more than a local community organiser who should be mixing it up with his people on national holidays.
Mountain out of a molehill.
Jazz, Eric Holder is on his way to the Gulf coast. Why ….. I have no idea. The last thing on his mind however is Larry Kane and Joe Sestak. You can be assured of that.
It’s a Buderus ED, say it proud and say it out loud!
Lots of really great people live in Gettysburg Ed, you should consider retiring there. But be sure to buy a home with a gas fired Buderus boiler, it will make you very happy! Buderus will bring you a certain contentment that you currently lack, it will make you feel whole and self actualized.
It would take someone like Lord Abott to equate the Battle at Gettysburg to what type of heater you should have if you live there.
Where’s Larry? Is he living off this inconsequential meeting with Joe Sestak? C’mon Larry get on with your life.
Now that Larry no longer has that time consuming CN8 show, he can devote full time to his winecooler, cheeto and retro TV binging.
He has probably cleared his calendar for the immediate future expecting to be interviewed regularly once the Sestak-gate scandal breaks. Like Woodward and Bernstein. May be more like Wayward and Goldstein.
Ed, Larry is still living off his brief encounter with the Beatles 55 years ago. You think he is going to drop the Sestak scoop after 4 weeks?
Flyers time!
Get the government out of the Gulf! BP is looking for a government bail out. I don’t want my tax dollars helping BP or the uneducated fisherman of Louisiana. Let Bobby Jindal save them. What’s mine is mine. Taking our country back!
I don’t know if I’m “Flyered up” but I do know there is nothing better to watch on TV.
Ya gotta have Hi Def to make it happen. I’d give up my heater for a Hi Def TV.
I’ve got a bug crawling on my TV screen. It’s just like Hi Def, except the bug won’t go in the goal.
Eond of first period. Outplayed but not outscored. Control the fighting.
Bug infestation in Ed’s home!
The soldiers at Gettysburg used wood fired Buderus Chimera’s to warm their camps at night. The Union soldiers, many from New Hampshire, knew to bring the heaters with them from the local factory. This was a major turning point in the Civil War, because so many Confederate soldiers froze or suffered terrible frost bite primarily because they did not have reliable outdoor Buderus Chimera’s.
It was 90 degrees in July when Gettysburg was fought. I doubt the soldiers from NH were cold at night.
I instructed my soldiers to burn corn to stay warm on those cold nights. One of my boys, Orville Reddinbacher, started something he called popped corn. We thought the Yanks were attacking in the dark as those kernals exploded among my Colonels. We were carrying full packs of 35 lbs. No fool was carrying some yankee stove.
I bribed Joe Sestak in the Study with a Secretary of the Navy Job.
The other reason the North was successful was that they had Jeeps, machine guns and tanks. The south were barefooted and riding horses wih muskets. It was a terrible mismatch, but Ed knew that before he went. I bet he corrected the tour guide many times, but thats becasue he knows everything, so its a polite helpful thing to do to another balding 60 something year old man with a whispy gray beard.
Did that graying 60 something man have the ponytail? Was he standing next to a porcelin pig? May be it was Leo.
I thought tanks were not until WW1 and jeeps until WW2. Then again I thought Mrs Peacock gave Bubba a hummer in the Oval Office with her mouth.
Beleive it or not, the Union forces even had a submarine (that’s actually true)! The radar and drones helped the Union locate the Confederate troops more easily, that’s why so many were killed in open fields. They were like sittig ducks when the north called in the Apache helicopters based on the radar and satelite information they had.
Waiting for the 8:05. Going in late as I was forced into duty yesterday. Barack is such a fraud. He blows off Arlington wreath laying ceremony. When conservatives and FOX News call him out on it he sends me as a replacement. Then he finds some rinky dink ceremony in Chicago to attend at the last minute. But it rained on his parade. Literally. Such a fraud. So I have to drive down to Arlington in bumper to bumper holiday traffic to cover his ass. The southern route of 495 is a killer for those unfamiliar. I made it on time. Don’t get me wrong it was an honor to do it. Just not my job. I’m sick and tired of covering for this pantload.
Well the press has been turned by the Obama politburo. Now they are putting all the blame for the spill cleanup on BP. They have absolved Barack and his cabal from any responsibility. It is no longer the government’s responsibility. Until they want bailouts on what is not covered by their insurance like lost business or cosmetic surgery. Then Barack will spend billions. In the meantime culpability and responsibility is focused on BP. They caused it. They can clean it up. They are a British company afterall. Let’s send Eric Holder down there to scare them. What a dolt.
Flyers got mauled for 2 minutes and lost a tough game. They just could not put the bisquit in the basket. Gagne and Richards missed several scoring opps. Tough coming home 0-2 but not impossible. We’ll see what happens.
You know I’m learning so much about the Civil War here at Larry’s site. Maybe Larry could do some investigative reporting on the Civil War. That would be current and topical. Anything for a change from the Specter-Sestak nonsense. I did not know the Union army had drones at Gettysburg but that would explain a lot of things.
Is the Union army flying drones over Lord Abott’s compound or are those bats in the belfrey?
Well it’s a short work week. Can’t wait for next Saturday and my frolic at the Parrott.
Until tomorrow beware of low flying Union drones in your neighborhood and oil covered shrimp at your grocery store.
Biden/Biden in 2012! Let’s just light the oil and burn it off.
I’ve been working on restoring a Civil War era
Humvee. I dug one up on my sister’s property
in Gettysburg. A lot of people don’t think its a
Civil War vehicle, but you can tell from decals
and Vehicle VIN number. It also had a manual
transmission, and as everone knows automatics were
not used in Humvees until the modern era.
By the by Red Lobster is running their Shrimp Festival early this year. All the shrimp you can eat. Ignore the black and oily substance covering the shrimp. It is just a new form of preparation – Al Fresco. Red Lobster for the gulf roadkill lover in you.
For Mr. Know it all the 1st workable submarine was the Confederate HL Hunley. (that’s actually true). The Union was too busy making heaters……
I’m sending Larry a pair of my old fishing boots. If he really want’s to be part of a big story he’ll take them down to the Gulf coast and start cleaning up the oil mess.
Larry would not schlep around in hip boots in the yucky gulf. That would be below a journalist/teleprompter reader like he or Brian Williams. Instead they would be in a climate controlled studio somewhere in New Orleans with a green screen. They would run footage of rescue workers behind them. They would have them out of suits and in denim shirts with rolled up sleeves creating the illusion that were actually on the scene. Larry would be complaining about the damn humidity going from his cab to the studio. I don’t see Larry bas a schlepper. He has people who schlep for him.
Man Ed, you really do take the bait pretty
easily. I set the almost correct submarine
information out for you, and like a hungry rat
you couldn’t resist tasting it, and then correcting
the man who fed you. Sometimes there’s poison in
cheese, that’s why the dumb rats eat it. The
smart ones know not to eat the cheese from my
wrapper.
Ed, you are correct about the Rebs having the first sub. First point of the new day to to Ed.
Can you see Union soldiers schlepping cast iron stoves on their back as they march 20 miles a day?
Lord Abot there you go with that overblown ego of yours. I addressed Mr “Know it all” not you. Go eat some cheese……….
Wow,a weekend away from the computer & we get a topic change,87 posts & some revisionist Civil War stories.
Flyers down 2-0 but the series isn’t over yet.Patrick Kane missing in action,both here & on the ice.
What a mess on the gulf,why does Obama hate white people so much ? I thought we were past all that.Hmmm,hmmm,hmmm.
No Ed, you were addressing me, why else would you mention heaters or refer to submarines. You are a moron of the highest order. I hope you keep responding to me, your idiocy makes me feel an even greater level of superiority.
May be
if we
get over
100 posts
we can
influence Larry
to change
the topic.
Get the government out of the Gulf! BP is looking for a government bail out. I don’t want my tax dollars helping BP or the uneducated fisherman of Louisiana. Let Bobby Jindal save them. What’s mine is mine. Taking our country back!
The WH is clearly lying. They originally said there was no job offer which we now know was a lie. Now they concede there was an offer but claim it was an upaid job. How do we know it was an upaid job?
Don’t make Louisiana pay for damage it suffers because of corporate malfeasance. The federal government should rescue us, using taxpayer money from people living in Pennsylvania and other places. I’m all about privatizing gains and socializing losses, like my good GOP colleagues.
Transparency and bipartisanship. Taglines of a campaign. As meaningless then as they are now.
2013: End of an Error.
Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have decided to go their separate ways after 40 years of marriage, news reports said Tuesday.
The Gores’ informed friends of the separation through e-mail, according to the Associated Press. In their message, they called the break-up a “mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful, consideration.”
So much for global warming.
I demand that the federal government detonate a 1 megaton nuclear device at the site of the oil leak, which will fuse the crust shut and stop the flow of oil into the gulf.
40 years with that miserable loser. I only wish I had come to my senses sooner.
For all those girls that wanted the Al-meister in H.S. and at Harvard. I am open for business. Now that I am done with that iceberg Tipper let the global warming begin. I’m buying at the Hooters in Knoxville tonight. You can have any fruity drink you want as long as the name sounds like a storm. Let the party begin. Shooters at Hooters!
His name should be legally changed to Al Bore.
You were just the Tip of the Iceberg, sweetheart.
I wouldn’t run out and buy a box of condoms, Al. I think you’ll be seeing women as quickly as the temperature drops a degree at the North Pole.
I should have married Tommy Lee Jones.
I going to become one of those cougars like Courtney Cox. You wait and see, fat boy.
I should have married Ali McGraw from Love Story. Sad ending but not as sad as this one.
See you on the Biggest Loser!
Line up those shooters!
You 2 wanna come on my new show, Marriage Ref?
It’s sad they are divorcing, but caompare their “kiss” to that of Liza Minelli and her once husband the homosexual Geffen and is anyone really surpised? Thou hath kiss too much!
Biggest Loser? Biggest Loser? I may be 20-35 lbs overweight but YOU are the biggest loser! I can lose the weight. You will still be a loser!
When was the last time you saw your feet? In Oz? When you haul ass you have to make 3 trips. I was never sure which fold… you get my drift.
Take your half of my fortune and disappear into the abyss. Stick your global warming so far up your orifice that your fat face looks like a tv weather map.
So much for this being “mutual and mutually supportive”. I knew that was crap you biotch.
Iceberg? Iceberg? I’ll show you an iceberg you freak. I’ll be tanning and sipping Mai Tais in Naples while you are talking that GW nonsense on college campuses tryinf desperately to pick up coeds.
[...] Kane offers more insight on his blog: When the taping stopped, Joe Sestak looked surprised [...]
You know I never really liked Al Gore. He was always that southern rich boy that capitalized on their family name and name recognition. He was not very likeable or friendly. Smug and arrogant is how I would describe him. Ted Kennedy and George W Bush were a lot like Al. Bill Clinton thought he needed Tennessee and the near south states to win. He held his nose and chose Al as his VP much the way Barack chose me. Al was hiden in the weeds by Bubba. We did hear he invented the internet. When he got the nomination he should have been able to overcome the negative Clinton impeachment stuff and defeat a nobody like W. He couldn’t and didn’t. 2 nobodies running in a presidential election. Somebody had to win. Once he became totally irrelevant he was looking for a cause to return himself to relevance. He latched on to this popular but unsubstantiated myth of global warming. He became the face and voice of global warming. Mr Ecology. Mr Green. Save the planet. Changing temperatures at the North Pole. Meltdown of Antarctica. The end of the world – one degree at a time. Champion of the planet. Nobel prize winner. Nobel lauriat. Complete fraud. Complete idiot. Now complete marital failure.
I know Tipper. She is a nice enough but now she’s 62 and plump and not too fetching. She will take half of Al’s accumulated wealth and move on. No cougar action for Tipper until she chunks down. Not like Dr Jill. She’s still hot. Sorry Tipper you tip the scales about 175 lbs. Maybe that’s where the name Tipper came from. A considerable amount of that is going to have to go before National Enquirer will show shots of your romantic interludes at exotic beaches. No fat farm pictures please. No pathetic Kristie Alley-like Jenny Craig ads please. Lipo honey. Lots of lipo.
For the life of me I can’t understand why Barack does not want to at least give the impression that he cares about the gulf and the damage being done there. We know he views it as a distraction from his socialistic agenda but it is rapidly becoming a regional disaster. He can’t just ignore it and hope it goes away. He needs to move into a FEMA trailer for a couple of weeks and get his white palms and manicured fingernails dirty. At least give the appearance that he cares and is interested. It’s like he can’t be bothered. Paul McCartney is more important than his Memorial Day duties. Energy reform is more important than a regional disaster. Get a grip pantload. Show some concern. Tool. Sharp but not dangerous.
Hoping that Kate Smith can ignite the Flyers. They are playing pretty well with short lapses. I hope they win game 3 and make this interesting.
Summer blas are already here. TV shows are in hiatus until next fall. Just reruns and reality shows. Nothing but sports worth watching. Best new shows in 2010: Modern Family and The Good Wife. I love Cam on Modern Family. The Good Wife is so well written with a great storyline. Now we wait for TNT to bring it’s new summer shows back like The Closer.
Another day in idiotland. Serving the common good. Creating a better America. Yeah right.
Biden/Biden in 2012! Let’s light Barack’s pants on fire and throw him in the gulf!
Larry, I caught the end of your interview with Sean Hannity last night. Why Hannity Larry? He could care less about Sestak. I’m sure he’s a Toomey fan and wouldn’t want a Democrat near the Senate. He’s trying to keep this controversy alive so that maybe Sestak or the White House trips up and turns this minor faux pas into a raging scandal. I doubt that will happen but your only way of owning this story is if that would occur.
Either way, you did look and sound very professional from what I saw. Hannity on the other hand looked and sounded like an amateur …….. as usual.
I like Toomey. He has more than a forehead. He has a fivehead. It’s like a billboard that says, “Space for rent!”
Its great Larry took my advice and got an interview with Sean Hannity. I have not seen it yet. Is there a link where we can see it online?
Tipper and Al, get a room!
Ed, interesting that you draw a line between teleprompter readers. I suspect Hannity is more ‘off the script’ than Larry.
Lord Abott, how did Larry manage for 46 years in this industry without your guidance and mentoring?
Fish, Larry didnt manage very well without my help, he bumped from station to station and fizzled out. At one time he was in the catbird seat of local news. His ego probably got in the way, and I know soemthing about huge egos. When he and his son read my posts they said to themselves, “why is Hannity being allowed to steal our story, call him up and get back in the game”. I guarantee that’s what happened.
Larry is a smart guy, and he can seperate the crackpots from the wise men, and he gets my point about his own story, and frankly glad he took my advice. I think he is a decent and good newsman and I respect him. It’s one thing to give hime the business when he’s wrong, but when he’s right he should be credited and respected.
The Setak story is not going away, and the WH cover-up is getting bizarre, it has watergate qualities, and I recognized that on the day he broke the story in February. If giving Larry sound advice is egotistical on my part than so be it. Most of the posters here are underwear sniffers who dont have an original thought and never accomplished anything in their lives. They just look to citicize and tear down people who have achieved something in life.
Fish, Hannity is the Ringo Star of punditry. He’s not very versatile and has a narrow point of view. Larry is like the Donnie Osmond of newscasters. A child prodigy with good looks who thought he could be bigger than he already was. Unfortunately Donnie ended up on a reality show for D celebrities and Larry ended up on CN8. If Larry followed Lord A-Butt(head’s) advice he might still be the “Dean” of Philadelphia broadcasters. I just threw that Lord A-Butt(head) line in because it seemed appropriate.
Lord A-Butt(head), there is no link to Larry’s interview with Hannity because no one thought it worthwhile to do so. What’s bizarre is Lord A-Butt(head’s) fascination with Larry.
I love writing Lord A-Butt(head). It works for me……. In so many ways.
Ed, you are an asshole, you know it, your family knows it. What is really fascinating is your obsession with me.
Perhaps Ed it works for you in so many ways because you are into men’s buttholes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, buy maybe its time you get honest with yourself. Its 2010, you can come out of the closet, no one cares these days.
I take exception to the Donnie Osmond analogy with Larry. Donnie had his brothers and sister on his rise to fame. I was on my own. I sang Danke Schoen for 46 years and look at me now. I’m the honorary mayor of Las Vegas. Larry had “but the big story tonight is…” which is still to be heard to this day, not by Larry but by Jim Gardner. Anyway I’ll be at Circus Circus on Tuesday night singing Danke Schoen ……….
Lord A-Butt(head) is feeling the heat. Relax Lord A-Butt(head) I’m merely having a little fun with you. You are like my dog. I point out his tail and he runs around in circles trying to catch it. I figure you for a tail chaser. it’s all you can do………
Dwayne how dare you impersonate me!
A-Butt(head) don’t pay attention to Dwayne, it’s really me. A-Butt(head) I’ve got a link for you and you’ll probably love it. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Lord A-Butt(head) you’re right I am fascinated with you. I study rats and vermin. How people like you exist is beyond contemplation. What else do you do when you aren’t eating your young? Curious minds want to know……
Lord A-Butt(head) now do you see how this works in so many ways?
Lord Abott and Ed, get a room. Preferably padded walls and high ceiling.
Danke schoen, Dwayne, danke schoen.
Thank you for all the joy and pain.
Flyers get off to fast start tonight. 2 quick goals and hang on to win 5-4. Richards will be huge. YAP, Kane has been active just not getting sniper shots. Will VP Joe be there tonight along the glass?
Ed, I’m willing to call a truce. You came back from Gettysburg and started in with me. We agree on many things but have different ways of expressing our views. I’m willing to let it go and focus on the news and Larry’s stuff. But if you want to F-with me, you will end up looking very foolish.
Joe may be at the game tonight. Last night however he was at Bernie Schwartz’s home in new York at a fund raiser for his son Beau’s reelection campaign. You know Beau is running for office in Delaware but the money for his campaign is coming from New York. Only in America…….
BTW I never bet hockey, too many chances for the puck to bounce the wrong way and those 2 minute calls by the refs for phantom penalties leaves me in doubt. That being said I will watch the game tonight. I watched 28 seconds of the last one and saw the whole game.
Lord A-Butt(head) OK I’m calling a truce. I wouldn’t want to end up looking like you.
That’s not a truce, you disrecptful asshole. It should come as no surprise to anyone that you are a failure in life, and that’s encapsulated in your dialouge here. You are an angry bitter jealous 60-something year old man who life has passed by. There’s always a chance to repent, but Ed, my offer is retracted. I had given you the respect of assuming you were a real man. and you are not even close, your father was correct about you.
I love it Lord A-Butt(head0 talks about respect yet our comrades at arms are measured by their race and religion according to him. Read something Lord A-Butt(head) you’ll find more than white Christians are dying in our war on terrorism.
Lord A-Butt(head)…… you’re the angry old man with no where to turn. I wish you the most painful death one can imagine. Full throttle on the cancer that most likely has already invaded your body. I can only hope that it will last long enough until Lou Gehrig’s’ disease takes hold. Then you will know the loneliness of despair. Then, maybe you will see the light………
On second thought Lord A-Butt(head) I’m betting you will never see the light…….
Although there are only four or five people that actually write here I am willing to sacrifice Lord A-Butt(head) to oblivion. His ego and superiority complex has left me wanting. If you disagree with the man he starts in with name calling. If you attack his point of view he responds with a verbal diatribe. If you call him out he responds with more vial rhetoric “asshole” “moron”…
Who wouldn’t hate the man?
My God Ed, you really don’t disappoint! Your pen is much greater than my sword. Please keep writing, you make my case far better than I ever could. You are way out of your league with me Ed, and as a gentleman the best thing I can do is let your rambling nonesense make my case. There is a public record here, and anyone who reads it can see Ed that you are not right mentally, its very sad.
Lord A-Butt(head) it’s your public record that makes me sad.You have shone us that you are no more than a bigoted member of the white wing party.
A-Butt(head) please read my comments. They may help you return to your former self. I’m sure you had a former self. No one could exist like you for too long.
Lord A-Butt(head) don’t be worried about me and my family. Me and my family are fine and dandy. When I need your advice I’ll ask.
Keep posting Ed, you save me keystrokes!
TNZ says Al has a girlfriend. Fat chance. The icecap is not the only thing that has softened over the last 10 years. Hey girlfriends whatcha got for me?
Statistics show about a .04 degree F rise in temperatures in the polar regions… Hey, you are talking about Mr Dinky. That’s not kosher. That falls under spousal priviledge. You can’t talk about my Mr Dinky.
Mr Dinky? Mr Dinky? That is even a euphemism! Ho about Mr Microscopic? Mini Me?
Flyers win!
There was a time when I was prolific. Back at Harvard they called me the tree. ED drugs can fix mosr of myt alledged problems.
Someday we will find out that Ed and Lord Abott are in fact the same person. A serious personality disorder leading to two distinct personalities. The rebelous Ed and the overbearing Lord Abott. This would be interesting.
Flyers fought back last night. You have to be proud of the way they are playing. I had my Bobby Clarke jersey working last night. 6 pack of Old Milwaukee. Vesuvios Pizza. Jars of Planters peanuts. Not a bad evening.
Gulf update: BP 2, Obama 0.
I went to NYC for a fundraiser for Beau. I stopped by the Brooklyn Bridge. We (federal govt) are giving the $30M toward a $286M restoration project. Here is a quote from my address:
“Here’s the deal. This and the Golden Gate Bridge are the two most recognized bridges in the entire United States of America, among the two most recognized bridges in the world. To be here, to be able to be part of helping restore this iconic bridge is a pretty neat thing,” I said. “This project symbolizes nearly 1,200 bridge projects that are underway under the American Reinvestment Act.” Barack is not the only dolt in DC. He is the biggest however.
The news is downplaying it but Rahm Emanual has been subpoenaed in the Blagojevich case. Maybe Blago thinks his best defense is to drag the Chief of Staff of Comrade Obama into the light of day. You can’t help but dislike Blago despite his desperate attempt for redemption on Celebrity Apprentice. No one likes Rahm. He is not a likeable sort. So if Barack thinks the whole Blago case will help to bring down his presidency he extricates Rahm from the proceedings for “national security” reasons and has the Illinois judiciary give Blago some suspended sentence. Is that how this is going to play out?
Barack go get dirty in the gulf. Pretend you care. Just because you don’t eat oysters and crawdads doesn’t mean you can ignore the situation.
Lord Abott probably shorted BP and will be the big winner out of this mess.
I still want to see the ad with Barack and Brett Favre in hip boots in the gulf waters.
God bless America.
Biden/Biden in 2012! Hip deep in tradition and pomp and circumstance.
BP cut my pipe. Now Tiger Woods won’t invite me out to play “volcano” anymore.
But I told BP that Tiger could plug their hole, as long as they let him pull their hair and call them his biotch.
I can’t believe Larry leaves this post up for another day. I even went out of my way to engage Lord A-Butt into a confrontation in order to embarrass Larry into changing the subject. Sorry Lord, I always know how to get a rise out of you. It must be your Irish heritage.
Darrel Issa from CA is the only representative in Congress that I’ve seen who is calling for a major investigation into the Sestak matter. Issa BTW has been charged three times for car theft. Some Republican……..Where do these people come from?
The worst natural disaster ever to hit the US is about to happen and Larry sits on his Sestak story for days and days. Larry you always claim that a crisis is coming but when one finally is upon us you retreat to your personal well being. I guess that’s why you covered the Beatles instead of The Viet Nam War.
Some journalist you are Larry…….
Coming to theaters near you soon this summer…
Darrel Issa: Fast and Furious
Admiral Wrongway Sestak: Operation Pettycoat
Bobby Jindal: Bollywood Hillbillies
Barack Obama: Dumb and Dumber
Lord Abott: Dynasty
More summer releases…
Larry Kane: Yellow Submarine
Sean Hannity: Star Mangled Banner
Tiger Woods: Dukes of Hazzards
Rob Blagojevich: Prison Break
All aboard! Topic change. We’ll not actually just a new title. Ed must have embarrassed Larry into changing. Al and Tipper beat us there.
[...] In an interview with Philadelphia TV newscaster Larry Kane in February 2010, Sestak confirmed that someone in the White House offered him a “high-ranking” [...]
