McKinney on The Real Story

by Genghis Conn · April 5th, 2009, 11:12 am · 4 Comments

Both Sen. Sam Caligiuri and Sen. John McKinney appeared on FOX61’s The Real Story today. Caligiuri was there to talk about his race against Chris Dodd (and Rob Simmons), and McKinney was there to talk about his possible run in the 4th district.

Here’s the link to video.

Meanwhile, there’s an interesting Chris Powell column in the Journal-Inquirer in which Powell challenges Richard Blumenthal to run against Chris Dodd.

    Chris Healy on Fox News Channel attacking Dodd.

    Terrible makeup job on Healy.

    McKinney. Wasn’t he the guy who voted against the rent minimim wage adjustment because he thought all those McDonald’s workers were getting paid too much?

    And wasn’t he the guy who thought it’d be a good idea to allow CT’s casinos to serve alcohol all night long, even after closing time for the rest of the state? (Luckily Rell ended this wild idea before it resulted in real highway carnage).

    Can anyone tell me what McKinney’s big accomplishments have been, except having been born a McKinney?

    What are you talking about?
    That was a fabulous makeup job seeing as we had to get a stand-in at the last minute and when the makeup people were done the stand-in looked just like Healy.

    Here’s how the double looked before the makeup.

    That was really Healy’s voice however; the stand in had to lip sync.

    Seriously – how on earth did you think we could have our party chair attending a ziti dinner in Putnam the same day he was working with the folks in New York’s 20th district?

    Healy has at minimum 4 body doubles; that way he can be everywhere at once…..and frequently is!
    Geeesh, I would’ve thought you would have known that; you’re usually pretty savvy.

    Here’s a link to the video .

    No one can. Cappiello did more in Hartford and look how well his 2008 election night went.
