I don't know if I'd say that the book is cut and paste from his old columns, but I do know Howie uses his show to get material for his new columns, from listeners. Someone will say something pithy and Howie will (or maybe not) say, "Hey, I like that--mind if I use that in a column?">>But Repubs will go on and on about the Kennedys.....It's laughable.Double standard. Patches got the "do you know who I am treatment". And yes it happens in both parties.RNC talking points? They must use the DNC talking points on Air America, I guess. Hey, Bobby Kennedy Jrsays the election was stolen! Trying to think of one example of GOP claiming an election was stolen;voting machines rigged. Nope.Both parties stink, but I think the Dems are just funnier. Can you picture the GOP with anyone possibly having the yuks factor of Ted "Chivas" Kennedy, Tom "Fries My Nose" Menino, Tom "Get Out of Here, Gabrieli, I'mPutting A Deadbeat On The Ticket" Reilly, John "No, Those Purple Hearts Were Real" Kerry,Bill & Hillary, Al "I Didn't Win My Home State" Gore, Michael "Two Dinners" Moore,Al "Limo for the Lame-o" Franken, Dan "The Story Is True" Rather... Sure, the Repubs do come up with some doozies too but when it comes to comedy, it's the donkeys all the way!! And just remember, they have a bright future, too, with the guy Ted calls "Osama Bin Laden--er, Osama Obama. Obama..."
