It's A Wrap! Chickaboomer's Excellent NYC Adventure

Chickaboomer in NYC for Talkers magazine's New Media Seminar is thrown out of Katie Couric's "closed studio" Thursday night after attempting to sneak in and sit in her anchor chair.  CB appeared on Radio Hall of Famer Jim Bohannon's nationally syndicated talk radio show broadcast from CBS News HQ on West 57th.  Black Rock. 

After Katie barred the door, Jim kicked off Thursday's Marty segment observing that Katie's chair looked like it was covered with a condom.  God forbid someone's nasty ass should touch Katie's throne.  There was more plastic on that chair than Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden's combined countenances.
Talkers 13th annual NMS kicked off Friday with a panel on energy:  global warming and freeing America from dependence on foreign oil.  There was a plethora of natural gas from the dozen panelists which included MSNBC's "Morning Joe" team of Mika Brezinski and Joe Scarborough. 

An aside:  My profound apologies to Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough.  Mika beckoned to me as I was sitting in the front row, videocamera at the ready, with "I want to talk to you." [Mika, Joe, and I had been on the Jim Bohannon Show last year and got to know each other waiting to go on at Jim's CBS News studios in DC.] After the panel Mika came up to me and said she was hoping to see me again soon to tell me I had misidentified her as Joe's wife, Susan Scarborough, in a photo I'd posted on Chickaboomer. 

Mika politely asked that I remove the post that someone had emailed her.  I was embarrassed.  As a former network radio and TV news broadcast journalist, I pride myself on not making egregious errors like that.  Someone named "Louis the Talent Producer" at  "Morning joe"  thrust his card in my hand claiming I was sent an email about the above and failed to respond.  Louis, darlin', I never got an email, and told him I don't give a shit about jettisoning the offending post and photos.

I went up to Joe Himself and apologized.  Joe laughed:  "If my wife thought it was a problem I would've heard about it."

I just got back from NYC late Sunday night.  Smoking gun commentary and video to follow. 

Teasers:  Friday night I was penetrated (figuratively) by two Peters - Yarrow and Max - in my new role as poster girl for horny men over 70.
I was interviewed for the "CBS Evening News" Sunday as I exited from St. Patrick's Cathedral (next to Saks Fifth Avenue) after lighting a candle before the statue of Saint Jude as I prayed for failure of Obamacare (God was listening to Nancy Pelosi instead), on the Pope's Rope-a-Dope of Irish peophile priests.

  1. Whew! I thought you were going to go with "two Peters - Parker and North". Of course, one swings in the city in tights, the other ... sans tights.

  2. Wear a St. Jude medal from the Vatican that was my husband's and he wore it till the day he died, when I read this Marty, and you said you prayed to St. Jude I went awwww, because I also pray to him and ST. Anthony who were my favorites saints since I was little, had a big statue at my Catholic school and those nuns were big on the novena, but St. Jude had other plans and our prayers were not answered, now I pray PLEASE LET pelosi lose in Nov. I relish the thought of her handing that big gavel to Boehner, but then St. Jude would not like our getting revenge, but then I wonder what they think of her up there, she is pretty bad, now I read on Drudge , she is the most powerful women in 100 years. How long am I going to have to stomach this, hardly could watch even Fox today, I watched QVC.

  3. "Lewis the Talent Coordinator on Morning Joe"....tough gig.

    Sort of like being Equal Opportunity Employment officer at the KKK.

  5. No, 1492. I came on the Santa Maria. My son-in-law the video producer fixed the audio and I'll upload the clearer version.

    Burford: Louis (I lost his business card. Maybe he's talent producer for MSNBC but fer sure he was Mika and Joe's butt boy.) I don't know why they were so upset about the mistake I made last year with two photos of Mika - one of which I thought was Mrs. Scarborough. One wonders if the lady doth protest too much, me thinks. Shakespeare. Hamlet Act III.

  6. I came on the Santa Maria but I only breathed hard on the Pinta.
    On that energy panel, I noted that most of what we've had offered to date has amounted to crap and trade. I also noted that I've declared my house as, "deemed to be warm", so I don't actually have to heat it now.
    FYI, Peter Yarrow is 71.
