Tony Sabio did not win the election for Virginia’s 8th Congressional District. But he is far from finished. Last night at Bangkok 54 he said he wasn’t done. Every other candidate that did not win gives that tired old loser speech. “We ran a great campaign, we hope my opponent the best of luck. Thank you all for your support.” Not Tony! He was ready to go campaign as soon as we were done! Ed Huebner and I said there was something different about him from everyone else. Here are some people who need a shout out during the campaign. I put them in a text group I called “Victory party.” These men are winners.
Ed Huebner. As always, my co-conspirator! Like myself, Ed also saw the same thing I did in Tony. And that summer afternoon at the American Legion, our intention was to be incognito. It was Tony’s moment, not ours. But Tony opened the floodgates and Ed and I do what we do best; be ourselves! Ed is always there at my best moments!

Kenn Burnett. A legitimate bad ass! Kenn is in my circle of friends. He is also the CEO of Weapons, Whiskey and Wisdom. Kenn introduced me to Tony! During the campaign I was able to spend lots of time with Kenn, breaking bread with him and drain his liquor supply! Kenn worked his ass off for 75 Radio. Setting up the microphones, and the link to our producers at his house! On election night he set up the restaurant piping in Liberty News Radio as well as setting up my spot on Liberty News Radio with Tony! He was on the air two weeks ago and knocked it out of the park!

Tony Sabio. Tony was running for office but would help us out in a second. Literally. I called him twice at the last second to come on to talk about the shooting at the White House Correspondence Dinner and shooting outside the White House. Not politics. Not his campaign. Tony personally introduced me to actor Dwight Schultz. Like every red-blooded American boy in the 1980’s I watched Schultz and company every Tuesday watching The A-Team! The day of Tony’s campaign event featuring Schultz I didn’t want to bother poor Dwight. First, I was there for Tony. Second; I thought Schultz had enough idiots bothering him. But: Tony made it a point to introduce me and Ed to Dwight! And Dwight couldn’t have been any nicer! Then Tony gave Ed the floor at his event! Eventually I did a show with Dwight, Kenn and Tony! It was our second best show!

Obviously, I am the biggest winner! Got to hang out with some great people doing great radio and having the time of my life! And where not going anywhere! When Tony needs my help for his next campaign, I’m there! I can’t thank Ed, Kenn, Tony and Dwight for keeping a smile on my face!
