Before the tumult and shouting fades – and that may never occur – it’s worth revisiting some of the memorable moments, one of which occurred at the Board of Elections office as the polling totals in the general election were announced last night. We will present some of our favorites, beginning with the “Barrie & Bubba” show that was broadcast on WICO several times during the two days immediately before the primary election on March 3.
It was an outrageously blatant abuse by Barrie of the time that WICO allowed her to have, apparently at her demand, for public affairs information. The show was titled “Monday Morning with the Mayor.” Don’t listen for it, because the show is now “history”!
In the one that aired on WICO immediately before the primary election she made no attempt to disguise her effort to boost Bubba’s chances. In fact, it may be the main reason that he survived the primary by running slightly ahead of Bob Caldwell. And, had that not happened it’s at least possible that he might have defeated Jim Ireton in the general election.
The attached/linked sound file consists of various short sound bites from that show, spliced together – it’s a blast.

Sounds more like a show I would title "Monday mornings with the Clampets". Wow, to think that she was ever mayor! But even worse to think that he could have become the next mayor really is scarey!
Sorry. I couldn't listen to more than sixty seconds of it.
Today (4:49 PM)& Tomorrow (3 PM)--
Barrie's farewell address ("My Final Thoughts") will be shown on PAC 14 -- if you can't get it on TV, it will be on the PAC 14 website too.
PS -- put your hip boots on first, it runs almost 1 hour.
