NE Times Letter Writers Continue To Amaze

Ton of stuff in the Northeast Times last week, which I noticed when I was in the NE for Thanksgiving. For example, this letter about how Bill and Hillary are the anti-Jack Kelly:

There are many pet lovers who write letters to the Northeast Times. I wonder what they think of the Clintons’ bid to get back in the White House?

The Clintons entered the White House with their lovable cat Socks. Then they adopted their dog Buddy when Bill got into his women problems and needed to seem more, I guess, normal.

Presidential candidate Hillary once even wrote a book about the pets, and we were told how Socks loved to roll in the laundry (as if Hillary ever did laundry.)

Reason #29 To Love Philadelphia: Frank Rizzo (Either)

After Tuesday’s passing of former president Gerald Ford, the local press jumped up and interviewed anyone who may have had a connection to his short presidency.

One of those who did was City Councilman Frank Rizzo, whose dad was mayor from 1972 - 1980. Rizzo addresses his father’s relationship with both Ford and Richard Nixon:

“My father had a great relationship with the President Nixon and the Vice President Ford and they were very good to Philadelphia.”

Only in Philadelphia could you ask a politician his father’s relationship with someone, and he’d go, “Yeah, yeah, he was good buddies with him. But Nixon! Oh man, he was even closer to Nixon!” I wonder if something like this will happen when Tom Delay dies.
