Paul Harvey is a right-wing jack-ass

[galadrium]

I was listening to my local right-wing controlled AM radio station today. I heard gool 'ol Paul Harvey talking about how "Kerry family fortune" the Heinz family... who was not even his until recently. Has like 75 factories over seas.

Besides picking up on this story about a month after every body else did (Rush and Hannity), does anybody actually think Kerry has a say in the runnings of the Heinz Company. I seroiusly doubt it.

1. A right winger I e-mail with

gave me crap about this. I told him that it is actually Mrs. Heinz-Kerry who owns the company, and that she only inherited it 12 years ago, doesn't have much to do with the operations anyway...

You know what his reply was?

"Don't you think Kerry has control over his wife? Don't you think he can tell her what to do with Heinz?"

Somehow I think he's missing the point. Maybe he hasn't noticed that the days of men bossing their wives around are over.

3. He actually said that?

Man... I know harvey is over 80 years old, but damn... I didn't think he actually thought it was still the 50s.

6. No no...

not Harvey, I don't know what he says, I don't listen to talk radio. This was just some noob I know.

[galadrium]

7. Ah yes... read it wrong.

[GOPisEvil]

5. Uh, actually the company is publicly owned.

The Heinz family no longer owns the company.

8. She is only an HEIRESS! She doesn't have ANY CONTROL over Heinz

n/m

Hope that's not "excessive caps" ;)

16. How is this different than Haliburton?

Does Cheney still have control over Haliburton?

11. Why do wingnuts assume

"Don't you think Kerry has control over his wife? Don't you think he can tell her what to do with Heinz?"

That a woman with a nine figure fortune would have the attributes of a mousy, right wing, Stepford wife?

2. More BS for the feeper ditto head types

The only people who this makes a difference to are those who tune into Rush everyday to find out what they are supposed to think today.

Rush, "The way you people have to look at this is, Kerry is a flipfloping liar."

Listener, "Oh thank you Rush, until now I didn't have any opinion about Kerry."

4. Paul Harvey

along with Larry King haven`t realized that they are dead...they are like characters from a bad horror movie who walk among the living

[FarLeftRage]

9. And, according to Bartcop

he loves to molest horses too...

10. Those overseas factories

Probably produce products for overseas customers... so it is probably not outsourcing. Who wants to buy a bottle of ketchup that has to be shipped 3000 miles anyway.

12. "And now for the rest of the story"

Yo Paul you forget to mention that Kerry married Heinz's widow after the late Senator Heinz(R) of Pa.died.It was alright for the republican to have factories over seas,sir you are an ass hole.

13. Good God, I'm a 130 years old and my parents listened to him

when I was a child. Even as a kid I knew the guy was an ass. How could he still be alive?? But I have to tell you that Paul Harvey is like a god fixture in the midwest. Maybe he's actually dead and the repukes just have someone doing his voice!!! He's the original Limbaugh only in a "shucks, folksy way". They listen to him out in the midwest passed on from parents to kids. And it's the midwest where this battle will take place.....pray for this old bastard to be taken to the home soon.

14. Harvey and his "Rest of the BS" topics have been clobbered on Snops.com

[galadrium]

All I got there was a bunch of pop-ups.

[bucknaked]

17. If my wife had nine figure income...

I would not care a whit about anything anyone said. I'd be on vacation 24 x 7 and out of the spotlight. With that much money who needs political power and glory.
