Corp000085 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 A six pack to you, mayor! ...... RIP http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/355117.html
Wacka Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I remember his incidents on AM Buffalo and him riling up the pro-abortion protesters in front of his house by opening the drapes and waving to them. Jimmy was one of a kind!
Tcali Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 A six pack to you, mayor! ...... RIP http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/355117.html Cripe he was just running for county executive in the fall...hmm.. I remember him almost getting into a brawl at a picket line(think it was cops or police) down at city hall..lol A definite tough irishman.And completely politically incorrect.
buckeyemike Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 And completely politically incorrect. We need more of those today. RIP.
Bullpen Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Jimmy woulda been a breath of fresh air in today's PC politics. RIP Your Honor. I'll raise a beer in your honor tomorrow at the ball game.
Lori Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 The famous quote on the 1985 blizzard: "Stay home, enjoy your family, watch Channel 7, and get a six-pack." At least that's the version WKBW showed last night. Something I didn't know: he was an Army Ranger during the Korean War. I raise a pint of Guinness in your honor, Your Honor. Rest well.
MarkyMannn Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 All these episodes aside, the guy did a lot to re-juvenate Buffalo, keep taxes low, and down-size city government. Good accomplishments that someone today ought to try, starting with our state gov't
Lori Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 A quality post in Nick Mendola's WGR blog: Rest in peace, Jimmy Griffin And for future reference, I dig Nick's blog, as well as his postgame Bills stuff. If he ever decides radio's not for him (which I doubt would happen), he could certainly move to writing.
Dwight Drane Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 We need more of those today. RIP. Amen. Even if you don't agree with the guy, you know he believes what he is telling you. Almost any national politician is so full of BS that you don't even know where to start in figuring out their honesty. If the White House and Congress was filled with Jimmy Griffins, sure, Haliburton or his equivilent of it would still get thrown sweet contracts...but I bet you anything we would have been in, and out of the Middle East by now.....but we wouldn't be seeing anymore videos of Osama bin Laden.
In space no one can hear Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 "May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead" RIP
Dwight Drane Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Alright.....for anyone that remembers this classic....(sort of NSFW) Green Lightning Check out the video of the debut, which looks to feature the mayor. This is just classic.
Just Jack Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Alright.....for anyone that remembers this classic....(sort of NSFW) Green Lightning Check out the video of the debut, which looks to feature the mayor. This is just classic. damn, that's a horrible looking webpage.
bbb Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 How did he die? He was absolutely amazing how he would remember people and names.
