How lucky can one guy be?
Howie Carr puts out a book on the Whitey’s Hitman for the Winter Hill Gang, then the FBI puts out their latest campaign to find Whitey Bulger and Carr is on another set of TV shows, and now I wake up this morning and Carr has hit the trifecta!:
Legendary Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger, who has been on the run for more than 15 years, was arrested Wednesday in Santa Monica, multiple law enforcement sources told The Times.
Talk about timing. Carr should be thanking his lucky stars.
Speaking of Radio subbing for Carr while he was on TV Michelle McPhee snarked a couple of days ago that they should have put out a picture of the woman years ago because she is “high maintenance”. I thought she might get some flack for that but apparently she was right.
Myself, I’m surprised he didn’t knock her off years ago as a liability, but I guess you get a little softer once you hit your 70′s & 80′s plus it would have been hard to keep a younger replacement off of social media.
Regardless of the how, Bulger will now go to trial. In the end the 81-year-old crime lord may find himself living the rest of his life in a small room he doesn’t want to be in, surrounded by uniformed staff. He will have TV, 3 meals a day, some activities and maybe the odd visitor, but there he will stay among people just like him till he dies.
Then again, it’s much more likely that instead of a nursing home he’ll end up in jail.
