13 QUESTIONS
1. I SAW YOU ON TV 44 WITH THE HEALTH CARE PROGRAM AND WITH THE WILK CROWD. WHY DID YOU THROW SOFTBALL QUESTIONS TO EACH PANEL?
I DON’T THINK THE HEALTH CARE PEOPLE THOUGHT ME ASKING ABOUT HOW A PROPOSED PUBLIC OPTION WOULD CHANGE THEIR BUSINESS MODEL WOULD REGARD THAT AS A SOFTBALL QUESTION. I THINK THE LAST THING THEY NEEDED TO HEAR WERE THE WORDS “PUBLIC OPTION”. AND AS FAR AS THE WILK DEAL GOES, MY QUESTION WAS ONE ABOUT HOW I FEEL, NOT ONLY IS LIFE UNFAIR WHICH IS ACCEPTABLE BUT IT IS ALSO UNJUST FOR MANY IN LUZERNE COUNTY. SO I’M SORRY YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE SOFTBALLS.
2. DO YOU THINK A PUBLIC OPTION WILL PASS?
LEGISLATION IS COMPROMISE AND I THINK A LOT OF SENATORS ARE LIKING THIS MEDICARE AT 55 OPTION. I’D TAKE THAT. WHAT CONGRESS HAS TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT IS A LOOPHOLE THAT WILL ALLOW INSURANCE COMPANIES TO GOUGE THE PUBLIC EVEN MORE. IF HEALTH CARE IS PASSED WE ARE GIVING INSURERS MANY NEW CUSTOMERS THEY CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF. THE LEAST THEY COULD DO IS BE GOOD CORPORATE CITIZENS AND NOT TRY TO SCREW US. AND THIS STUFF ABOUT A HEALTH CARE EXCHANGE IS A GOOD THING. RIGHT NOW, IF YOU ARE A FEDERAL WORKER YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF MANY INSURANCE PLANS. GUESS WHO ADMINISTERS IT AND PROFITS FROM THESE PROGRAMS? INSURANCE COMPANIES. IF THIS LEGISLATION IS NOT DONE NOW, IT WON’T BE AND OUR ECONOMY WILL TANK.
3. YOU SEEM TO BE PRETTY NASTY THESE DAYS TOWARD THE GOP CALLING THEM THE PARTY OF NO. HOW CAN YOU JUSTIFY BASHING CONSERVATIVES?
I KNOW AND AM RELATED TO MANY CONSERVATIVES. BUT THE FACT IS THEY DESERVE IT. HISTORICALLY IT WAS THE CONSERVATIVES WHO OPPOSED ALL PROGRESS. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD LOOK AT OUR AMERICAN REVOLUTION. THE ONES WHO TOOK THE CHANCE WERE THE LIBERALS AND FREE THINKERS.THE PEOPLE AGAINST IT WERE ALIGNED WITH THE TORIES. A CLEAR INDICATION OF THIS IS THIS VIGNETTE FROM “1776”.
4. YOU WERE ON TV LAST YEAR AS SAYING “EVERYONE AT THE COURTHOUSE SHOULD BE LAID OFF AND MADE TO REAPPLY FOR THEIR POSITIONS”. NOW CORBETT IS SAYING THAT THE WHOLE COUNTY SHOULD BE TAKEN OVER BY A TRUSTEE. ARE YOU GUYS COMMIES OR WHAT?
NO. I SEE A COMPLETE PURGE AS A WAY TO START OVER. THIS CORRUPTION IS SO DEEPLY ROOTED THAT THE ENTIRE THING NEEDS TO BE BLOWN UP. MY PROOF IS THAT A FEW OF THESE INDICTMENTS CAME DOWN AFTER THE FEDS WERE KNOWN TO BE INVESTIGATING. WHY WOULD SOMEONE PUT THEMSELVES IN SUCH JEOPARDY IF THEY KNEW PEOPLE WERE WATCHING? I’D LIKE TO BELIEVE ITS ARROGANCE AND NOT STUPIDITY. AFTER ALL WHEN THESE PEOPLE GET OUT OF JAIL THEY’LL STILL BE ABLE TO DRIVE AND WE HAVE ENOUGH NUMB SKULLS ON THE ROAD.
5. LAST WEEK YOU DISPLAYED AN AD FOR SUNSHINE SUPERMARKET. ANY POLITICAL STORIES FROM THE SUNSHINE?
SURE. WHO COULD FORGET THE MOONLIGHTING SHERIFF IN THE DELI AT SUNSHINE. WHEN TOM MCGROARTY WAS MAYOR YOU’D SEE HIM IN THERE AFTER WORK PICKING UP SOME MILK AND EGGS FOR THE FAMILY. AS RECENTLY AS TWO SUNDAYS AGO I SAW COUNCILMAN TONY THOMAS UP THERE EXCHANGES BARBS WITH THE DELI LADIES. THE SUNSHINE, A WELL LIT STORE BY THE WAY WAS A GATHERING PLACE FOR ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE. IT WILL BE MISSED. I’LL CERTAINLY MISS THE TAB, SHASTA DIET ORANGE, AND AMISH MACARONI SALAD.
6. HEY DAVE WITH IT BEING CHRISTMAS AND ALL, AND SINCE YOU HAVEN’T DONE IT IN A WHILE, HOW ‘BOUT A LITTLE BANANA PHONE?
SURE. HERE YA GO.
7. SHOULD THE COUNTY DO THE LAYOFFS OR FURLOUGH DAYS?
MIKE MORREALE HAS THE RIGHT IDEA. RATHER TAKE THE DAYS THAN ELIMINATE JOBS. BUT I LIKE WALTER GRIFFITH’S IDEA TOO ABOUT TAKING A PLEDGE FROM THE COUNTY ROW OFFICERS SO THEY DON’T RENEGE AND SCREW THINGS UP AFTER THE BUDGET IS IN PLACE.
8. FAVORITE CANDY BAR?
TAKE 5.
9. WE ALL KNOW YOUR FAVORITE ACTRESSES ARE GEENA DAVIS AD JULIA ROBERTS. BUT WHO ARE YOUR MALE FAVORITES?
AL PACINO AND TIM MATHESON.
10. DOES DUKE FROM DALLAS HAVE HIS OWN BUSINESS CARDS THAT SAY DUKE FROM DALLAS?
YES.
11. FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE?
TOO HARD TO PICK. I’LL GO WITH THE ORIGINAL “MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET”.
12. TOP STORY OF THE DECADE?
WITHOUT A DOUBT 911. KIND OF HARD TO BELIEVE THE DECADE IS OVER.
13. FAVORITE CHRISTMAS FOOD?
AS A GOOD SLOVAK BOY I LOVE THE TRADITIONAL PEASANT FOODS BUT I COULD DEFINITELY GET INTO THE 7 FISHES MEAL TOO.

Only you would lump Al Pacino and Tim Matheson in one strata. With Davis and Roberts all you get are gangly and tall artitsts who were lucky. These two are light years apart. I can't imagine Matheson playing Scarface.
On health care, you had an interview with a turncoat, Benedict Arnold, who had a plan for everyone to get health care. Any more thoughts on his plan?
Ive been watching TV and it seems Tiger Woods is in some sort of trouble. Could anyone tell me whats going on?

I LIKE HIS PLAN. IF SOMEONE IS GOING TO EAT A TRIPLE WHOPPER WHICH HAS ABOUTY 800 CALORIES IN IT AND THEY DO IT AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK, I'M FOR SLAPPING A 15 CENT TAX ON SAID SANDWICH THAT WOULD ROLL INTO HEALTH CARE. FIRST THE PERSON BUYING IT WOULD NEVER MISS THE 15 CENTS AND SECOND, THAT PERSON WOULD BE USING AND OVERLOADING THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. MY WELNESS COACH AT BCNEPA DEFINATELY DIDN'T HAVE WHOPPERS OF ANY KIND ON HER DIET PLAN FOR ME. BENEDICT ARNOLD? THE GUY JUST CHANGED PARTIES, HE DIDN'T INVITE BIN LADEN OVER HIS HOUSE TO SEE THE STEELERS ON THURSDAY.

I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH SANTA AND SINGING. SOMEONE ASKED ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SANTA AND TIGER? I WAS TOLD SANTA ONLY USES THREE HOs, "HO HO HO". MUST BE SOME TYPE OF GLEE CLUB DISPUTE.
love the banana phone.
The county should consider furlough days. Non profits do it, so should governments.
Yonk, I saw you on both shows and on the Health Care Show, Bill Kelly threw the definition of the public option to the panel. That was the curve that seemed to have been thrown because I don't think either Mrs. Cesare or Dr. Steele were prepared to explain it in a general sense. In my opinion they should have done what a politician does and just answer how it would affect their own concerns. On the WILK show you did your usual suck up to that motley crew. "VIA better watch out and not put you on so much, look what you did to 22 and 'YLN!!!!
Very good clip from 1776. We might not have gotten out of the gate if it weren't for the status quo reactionaries. Just like today, people would rather be miserable in their own belief set instead of letting the sun shine of good government permeate their being.
Dave, I'm wondering how Griffith got the idea that the Row Officers couldscrew up the budget once its passed? The budget is a spending plan and the jobs are controlled so where is the boggyman?
Speaking of Benedict Arnold, Old Droll Joe Liebermann has come out against the Medicare at 55 proposal. Of course the only thing old Joe has been in favor of has been John McCain who he followed around like a puppy for the campaign. Enough of this bore!
What positive thing has dull Joe ever been involved with? Joe, nobody cares what you think!
Ive got to agree with 6:21 on Joe Liebermann. He is like a dark cloud hovering around the political landscape without purpose or influence and has been since he ran for VP as a Dem before he became an Indie/GOPer.
Lieberman is NOT a dem. He is an independent. The Dems rejected him in his last primary. The Dems shoved a telephone pole so far up his ass that it jammed up his esophagus. He doesn't owe the Jack Ass party anything.!
Dave:
I know where you can get the 7 fishes dinner. My cousin will even fly in for the event.
K GIRL
The Independents would like to be rid of Joe. He is a man without a country let alone a party. What fun would he be at a party anyway?
A real Independent
