CNN Reports Geno's "Rant"

[RockyMTblue2]

You've been reading my BS too long----but I share your love and as a avid follower of a great mental health specialist (in Hartford not to be named) I too share your views of his abilities-- Phil Donahew (sp) showed the world how to look like an expert when you know nothing--he made a fortune --repeating what the expert said the week before--as his own.

Yeah, it's Donahue, but he was one of the classier class of G rated daytime shock jocks. This other guy is a swamp jockey, but perfectly attuned to our dumbed down, titillated up "society". We have to stop this before Nan cuts us off at the knees! Go UConn, beat UCLA like a rented mule, but all come out healthy.

He stole that line from JFK---and modified it: Ask NOT what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country----Insert Team and replace Country--and you have Geno.

A great man once said: A good pat on the back does much to inspire others---if administered low enough.

BroadwayVA - Great quote and I had to look it up. I will pick a small nit. It was not said by a great man, but in fact a woman. According to the internet (sigh), the quote originated with the poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox, she of the enduring quote "laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone."

Geno may have appropriated the Kennedy quote, but I suspect he may have uttered it with less eloquence.

Thanks----so it was a ---Wo----Man. I appreciate the information.
I was sure the great man was my Dad---he wasn't much into the --spare the rod /spoil the child--of the day---he had such great strength--he never had to use it. His mother however --lived by that rule--it's a long story but she had to.
We were brought up on --laugh and the world laughs with you---Dad;s avocation was entertaining, --cry and you cry alone.

"The shock jock of psychiatry who lost his license . . . "

I'll start with I am not a fan of Dr. Phil. I consider him somewhere between the "Long Island Medium" and a snake oil salesman. I would rather root for Tennessee than watch his show. However, according to the internet (sigh again), he did not lose his license. "After starting CSI, (Courtroom Sciences Inc.) McGraw ceased the practice of psychology. He kept his license current and in good standing until he elected to retire it 15 years later in 2006."
