It's Providence, what do you expect? Good candidates for office? Candidates who can sing?

I lost it when he whipped out the tape recorder.

Of course the problem is that in this country you have to be a CHRISTIAN religious nutjob if you are running for public office. If you don't blather on about how you constantly pray to an invisible cloud being in the sky that was once nailed to a cross they think you are strange.

Let's see... non-Italian last name, and his own hair... has obviously never beat someone with an ashtray or a log.

No sir, this just wont do.

A hymn singing,Catholic Democrat? I thought those routines were standard operational procedure for the Tea baggers/neo-cons.

Or stabbed him with a fork. Or burned him with a lit cigar.

I tended bar at an upscale place during Buddy's second (re-elected after the felony conviction and prison sentence) term. farker would hit my bar before we opened, drink about 3 bloody marys during his "morning meetings", and then chill until dinnertime drinking top-shelf scotch.

He did some awesome things for Prov though, shame he's such a hideous crap of a human being.

True... One of the last old time political bosses. He understood you could get away with anything as long as you did favors (legal or otherwise) for the folks that finance your campaign and vote for you.

This bar you worked at didn't happen to be a particular bar of notoriety up on the Hill, did it?

I'm considering running for the HoR here in CT in a couple years. If anything else, it'll be fun.

No, I worked upstairs at the Boathouse, and then later at Intermezzo. Also at Murphy's concurrently, but that was a dive for the downtown restaurant people and daytime construction workers. Best grilled pastrami Reuben ever.

He also got tossed out of a debate by the cops because he refused to remove a 3 foot tall statue of the Virgin Mary from the candidate's table. Link (new window)

Heh... I love Murphy's. The Reubens do indeed kick ass. We always hit Murph's before going to a P-Bruins game.

Don't know too much about the other places aside from their existence... my main Providence haunts in the 80s and early 90s were The Living Room, The Rocket(Baby Head)... then I graduated to The Zebra Lounge and The Met. Sadly, there all gone now. Well, The Rocket is Club Hell now. AS220 is still going strong, though.

I've already came up with a campaign slogan:

"Because if I have to hear another politician spout some bullshiat nonsense, I'm gonna farking lose it."

The downside: hard to fit on a button
The upside: friend made a button with a pic of a bull with the words "nonsense" coming out of it's ass, and the big NO symbol overtop of it.

Honestly, if I do run, I may try to get some exposure on here. I mean, heck, I just might grab a few Farkers to be campaign managers or the like.

I may have to clean up the occasional swearing... but in all honesty, what average person doesn't hear or read about the crap that goes on in DC and either start twitching or shouting obscenities? I think if anything else, because it really would be representing what people think, it could get me some votes.

Plus side: if I win, I'll be the first person on C-SPAN that will need to have the "bleep" button on standby. So there! I created at least one job for a fine American citizen.

/side note: no one would worry about me taking vacations to go golfing
//since I hate golf.

He reminds me of an even more retarded Chris Farley with a pony-tail.

That news anchor is a PRO. I'm amazed she didn't either bust up laughing or run away screaming. Both would have been perfectly acceptable responses.

The Met just reopened up in Pawtucket, which is good. But you have to go to Pawtucket, which is bad.

At least they didn't show the vid of him proposing to his girlfriend after the last debate.

God, I miss Buddy. Corrupt? Sure...but the town was never better.

He'd go farther on the Republican ticket...

Aw, The Bucket isn't so bad... They've done a pretty good job attracting a lot of artists and other creative types, which definitely improves the area.

Though, having to drive all the way out there does put a bit of a crimp on the drinking.

Glad to hear the Met reopened all the same.

Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.

Oh how I wish I saw this yesterday because now the thread is dead.

There was a mayoral debate the day after this happened, there may have been a couple troopers stationed in the wings in case he needed to be "dealt with." Thankfully he behaved, but he was told multiple times by the moderator (who did a great job) that he really needed to stay on topic and answer the question that was posed to him!

Buufoo: That news anchor is a PRO. I'm amazed she didn't either bust up laughing or run away screaming. Both would have been perfectly acceptable responses.

And THIS was the response around the building. Lilly did an awesome job dealing with him.

I spoke with him for about 45 minutes outside the polling place on election day in '08 when he was running against Senator Reed. The man is completely out of his mind.
