I’m not going to fact check it. But when I wrote the above, I had Bob Packwood in mind as the originator. I may well be wrong, but it’s interesting to see the divergence in our total recall.

I don’t remember Antoine, but the Knight episode sounds familiar, but I’m quite sure it was a politician that said it first

I was living in New York City at the time, and I remember the horrified reaction when Tex Antoine said it — he joined the pantheon of career enders like Jimmy the Greek and Marv Albert –

you know…being a bobby knight fan…

The phrase that got him in trouble when asked what it was like to be coaching during a blowout of his team:

“It’s like rape, you might as well sit back and enjoy it”

Feminists were up in arms. The defense he could have used now, but strangely not then, could have been that he did not specify the sex of the victim-he could have been referring to a man or a woman.

MH is a New York news guy — he knows what happened to Tex Antoine –

Nothing like telling someone how you’re gonna screw him over then proceed to do it. Had HH asked, I suppose MH would have said, “just lie back and enjoy it”.

What we know as the MSM is and has for many years been nothing but an arm of the hard, pro-totalitarian Left. Cronkite after many years in retirement admitted that he is a socialist. What could be more contemptible than that? Nothing. He did more to lose the Viet Nam war for the forces of freedom and decency than even John Kerry, miserable traitor that he was and is, and that is saying a mouthful. Cronkite was not the beginning and certainly not the end. Lefties want to deny it? Who cares? These treacherous louts who long for nothing more than to strangle freedom and capitalism (same thing, actually) will lie, cheat and bomb to bring about their Worker’s Paradise, what is a little glossing the news? It is past time to face facts. The Left is the existential enemy of America; of freedom, of decency… of humanity really, always has been, always will be. They will align themselves with any crop of thugs, the Islamists are just the latest, to achieve their goals. They bitterly hate themselves and with ample justification and long ONLY to make the whole of the earth as awful a place as their black, resentment-filled little hearts. Never trust a Leftist. Never, never, never.

Because those in charge always know everything that goes on or the innermost thoughts of those they micro-manage. I know my boss’s boss knows quite a bit about my personal life…oh wait, that’s right, he knows absolutely nothing about me. And he sits, literally, 25 feet away from me. I’m just saying, evidence speaks to me, unsubstantiated insinuation does not.

Well, Mike, Halperin is the political director of ABC…I think comments like that have to be taken with a certain degree of authority…

Though I am about to blog on it, because it’s too rich a target to resist…

I gotta disagree with you there, mtl. Not that the Kerry quote wasn’t stupid: Lord, was it ever! But I don’t hink it will affect anything other than confirming that John Kerry is perhaps the worst presidential candidate of modern times (at least from the big two parties)…
