Hucksta!

January 9, 2009 | Jim Vicevich | |

Do you remember when I dedicated a full half hour to the “Aqua globe” … and then raised the discussion of who is the best TV huckster … Billy Mays or Vern “Shamwow” … well finally for those of us who consider this one of the greatest American art forms … huckstering … a web page dedicated to Billy Mays.

    Billy Mays is also doing spots for ESPN, or at least ESPN360 which is an internet only service.  I was shocked when it came on.

    No recession in the Mays household…

    Come on!  The winner is Obama.  Second is Pelosi.  Then Reid.  Then Paulsen.  A tie between Dodd and Frank.  Raines.  Waxman. Waters. Could it be the Democratic Party?  No, the NEW Democratic Party since the one I joined @ 35 years ago was NOT this one led by hucksters.
