Lee Corso, college football asshat

February 17th, 2005 at 11:47 am by Preston Taylor Holmes

Sports by Brooks has the story of Lee Corso flipping his lid on the Dallas-based Bob and Dan sports talk-radio show, demonstrating for all to see that he is a self-important asshole with absolutely no sense of humor.

During the interview, Corso, who roomed with Burt Reynolds at Florida State, initially delighted in telling the duo the well-worn story about Reynolds posing nude in Cosmopolitan magazine.

At the end of his story about Reynolds’ naked layout, Corso gushed, “He was the first guy basically to post nude … in Cosmopolitan, and one thing lead to another … and he became the leading movie star in the world.”

KTCK-AM host McDowell then followed up Corso’s comments about Reynolds by joking, “And not a lot of people know this, but Lee Corso was actually the second person to pose nude … correct?”

Following the McDowell quip, an apparrently offended Corso went stone silent, with a stunned McDowell then saying, “Or did I read that wrong?”

After a long pause, Corso muttered, “I won’t even give you … next question.” He then said, “I think that was very sarcastic and I don’t appreciate it. And I’m not kidding.”

McDowell: “Really?”

Corso: “Why would you say that? It’s not funny at all. The people out there that don’t know me, would say, ‘what kind of jerk is this guy?’”

It just gets worse from there. Thanks to Sports by Brooks, you can hear the exchange here. It’s good clean fun.

Kid Rock arrested in Nashville

February 17th, 2005 at 9:00 am by Preston Taylor Holmes

This would have been perfect for White Trash Wednesday. I don’t know how I missed it. Dammit!

Almost-inauguration-performer Kid Rock got in a scuffle with a D.J. at Christie’s Cabaret in Nashville Tuesday night, then wound up in the slammer.

An arrest warrant was issued for Robert Ritchie, 34, who’s better known as rock singer Kid Rock, after a scuffle broke out at Christie’s Cabaret, located on 8th Avenue South, around 3 a.m.

The fight with the club’s DJ was over the music the DJ was playing, police said.

The DJ, Jay Campos, was punched in the face, police said. He had a red mark on his face and his glasses were broken.

But it didn’t stop there. Rock even managed to get a Vandy rent-a-cop in trouble on his way to another strip club.

At a press conference Wednesday, Vanderbilt Police say that Kid Rock was pulled over by one of their officers for turning quickly near West End. The officer let Kid Rock off with a warning and did not administer a field sobriety test.

At some point, the officer requested and received from Kid Rock his autograph. As the result of an investigation, Vanderbilt determined there was sufficient cause to terminate Officer Juan Minerez for the perception of giving preferential treatment.

Damn! You’d think he was Steve McNair or something.

President Junior: Raise taxes

February 17th, 2005 at 8:22 am by Preston Taylor Holmes

Well, you knew it was going to come at some point for our Republicrat-in-chief. When you spend like a drunken sailor, somebody has to pay – and why not the evil “rich”?

AP: Bush may raise taxes for social security.

It costs a pretty penny to fund services for all these illegals that President Junior seems hellbent on bringing across the Rio Grande.

President Bush is not ruling out raising taxes on people who earn more than $90,000 as a way to help fix Social Security’s finances.

At the same time, he renewed his pitch Wednesday for Congress to approve an overhaul that would include Social Security private accounts for many workers. He told 2,000 people in an airport terminal that rich and poor alike should have a chance to invest in the stock market.

“Investors aren’t just Wall Street people, as far as I’m concerned,” Bush told the crowd invited by the state’s all-GOP congressional delegation. “I think every citizen, every citizen has got the capacity to manage his or her own money.”

Of course, the feds will continue to confiscate that money so that every citizen is denied the opportunity to manage that money, but that’s another story, isn’t it? Besides, we need to pay for prescription drugs for seniors, don’t we Junior?

Asked directly, Bush said he would not bar raising the $90,000 cap, although he does not want to see the payroll tax rate go up.

“The one thing I’m not open-minded about is raising the payroll tax rate. And all the other issues go on the table,” Bush said in the interview, according to an account in Wednesday’s New Haven (Conn.) Register.

For you dual income couples who (combined) make $90,000 + a year, you’re rich. You may not be aware of that – especially if you have kids – but you’re filthy stinking rich and you need to pay your fair share. And that’s coming from one of your beloved tax-cutting Republicans, not a drunken, bloated Senator from Massachusetts.

White House spokesman Trent Duffy said raising the cap on Social Security taxes is just one option among many being advocated.

“Just because he said it was an option doesn’t mean he embraced it,” Duffy added.

To embrace it, he has to actually put his arms around it and give it a loving big-government style hug.

I’m sure glad President Junior hasn’t suddenly become a fiscal conservative in his second term. That could jeopardize the delightful relationship he’s built up with the mainstream press.
