Former Rye Mayor Carey: Put Your Mouth Where Your Money Is

Former Rye Mayor John Carey, who sounded an ominous warning last week to Rye residents on the prospect of Cablevision jacking its rates for basic cable service, is looking for Rye residents who want to put their mouth where their money is.

Carey is taping the first of what he hopes to be a regular Rye Community TV show tentatively titled Rye Pundits View the Candidates. That’s presidential candidates he is talking about–Hill, Mitt, Rudy, the Bama, Mack, Breck Girl and the other hangers-on.

Carey is looking for local Rye pundits: "The ideal guest is one who does better than the usual pundits, with original ideas instead of group-think. A guest can support a particular candidate so long as s/he explains why in clear and persuasive terms."

Carey’s first taping is Monday, January 28th with an air date to be set for February.

A search of the Federal Election Commission database for 2007 donations to presidential candidates turns up about 70 big Rye donors. Take a look at the list below, and if you see a friend or neighbor, tell him or her to put their mouth where their money is and contact John Carey (via email at jncarey AT westnet DOT com) to try their hand at being a pundit.
