The Hot Club

Tom McGinn told me that Buddy Cianci can run for office again when he’s 73. That would be 5 years after his probation ends. That’s according to Rhode Island law. Tom was sure that Buddy would run again. Is that sick or what?

When I told Tom that Buddy would probably get elected again, he agreed. Frequent Flyer said, “He was a good mayor.” Tom noted that the day Buddy resigned from office, Cianci had a 64% approval rating. Frequent Flyer added, “Compare that to Obama!” Said Tom, “Compare it to anybody.”

Someone complained about the job Barack Obama was doing. Said Foot Joy, “All the people that complain about Obama and what he’s trying to do now, forget that he’s trying to correct the mess left by the people that the current complainers voted for.”

Foot Joy and I were talking about the Trouble Magnet, A-Rod. The ‘kissing the mirror’ photo and his dalliance with the NY Madam (He dated her! Now that’s a lonely guy!) Foot Joy pointed out that the Yankees would take Manny over A-Rod and the Red Sox would take Manny back rather than have A-Rod. I said that the Red Sox front office is probably wiping their brow that they didn’t succeed in their move to get A-Rod.

I added that Madonna right about now is probably wondering “Did that son-of-a bitch give me a sexually transmitted disease?” Foot Joy said that Madonna, given her history, might have passed something on to A-Rod. I thought Madonna might be more pristine.

Most cougars are mothers according to Frequent Flyer. “Well, the lion’s share”, said Frequent Flyer.

Foot Joy told me that when WEEI interviewed Tim Wakefield, Wake revealed that the Red Sox have a knuckleball machine and George Kottaras works with it a couple times a day. Helpful. Smart. Is Gary Tuck involved with that?

The Bear stopped by the Hot Club. He’s retired but just got another job teaching. The Bear was complaining about having to get up early to teach. I told the Bear, “I can feel for you, but I can’t reach you.”

Mike Module was talking about going out in a canoe and bringing beer along. Buff Steve suggested that might not be a good idea since The Module would be on an open river. That reminded me of the story about Ted Williams inviting Carl Yaz on a fishing trip. Yaz walked up to the boat with a cooler of beer. When Ted asked Yaz what was in the cooler, the serious fisherman told Yaz no beer on the trip. Yaz went home instead.
