Glimpse Of Newscoma At Work

Hanging out with The Ned.

Part of northwest Tennessee are the on-going Ned sightings. A co-worker took this picture. He told jokes about being friends with republicans. He knew my granddad.

Small-town Americana, campers.

  1. [...] Newscoma yucks it up with beloved former Governor Ned Ray McWherter. What I want to know is if she by any chance asked him whether his son Mike was gonna run for Senate already. In June, it was a few weeks, then after Labor Day, then after Fred announces. Well…..what’s the good word?

    What a great photo.

    The late Franklin Yates, who bought the Bedford County Times in the early 1940s and the Shelbyville Gazette in the late 1940s, merged them and ran the place until the early 1990s, had pestered McWherter for years about four-laning the highway between Shelbyville and Murfreesboro, prompting an exasperated McWherter to exclaim once that he was going to drive Mr. Yates up and down the highway once it was finished. Sadly, by the time the project was finished, Mr. Yates was in pretty poor health. He was brought out to the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Shelbyville airport, but he had to stay in the car and McWherter came over and shook his hand through the window.

    Ned’s looking a little withered. He has that same sorta style that Fred Thompson has. Sherrif come to town sorta thing. Very good picture of the both of you.

    Once again, His Nedness says, “My politics brings all the girls to the yard. Especially the purty, smart ones. Like this ‘un. Hey, shug, smile for the camera.”

    Hee.
