Official HOWIE CARR Thread....

[jocon]

ARRRR, where's me pot of gold?.... This thread is for New Englanders who love the fat paper boy! Howie is the author of "The Brothers Bulger", host of WRKO680 drive home show, and columnist for The Boston Herald. Let's start:

What did you think of his article today about the Mass Turnpike Authority(BIG DIG) payroll and all of the connections to politicians....

Oh c'mon guys....I have seen Howie mentioned dozens and dozens of times
from the New England crowd......

Well, yesterday he got into it with one of our town's former selectmen!! This guy is the head of the Fast Lane program. My only issue with Howie is that he didn't get his facts completely straight....Mr. Drewry didn't retire from the Board of Selectman here in town due to illness...he retired from his job due to 'illness'. He wasn't asked to return to the BoS by the voters at the last election!!! My dh was one of his strongest detractors. I just wish Howie had gotten it right about the reasons for his leaving the board. We do tend to have some pretty good laughs about the Turnpike Authority and the choices for it's personnel though!!!

The clips on his Mumbles Menino website can't be beat. Hysterical.
