Liberty's Kids Cartoon and Admiral Howe Reference
A clip from the children's educational cartoon "Liberty's Kids" is highlighted for its use of the historical nickname "Black Dick" in reference to Admiral Richard Howe of the British Royal Navy. The hosts find humor in the repetitive use of the name within a juvenile program, noting that the nickname historically referred to Howe's dark temperament.
The hosts revisit a 2010 Senate Intelligence Committee hearing where Senator Dianne Feinstein asked officials about the likelihood of a terrorist attack within six months. They analyze the responses from Dennis Blair, Leon Panetta, and Robert Mueller, characterizing their "certain" predictions as a tactic to maintain public fear without providing specific evidence.
A clip from the children's cartoon "Liberty's Kids" features a double entendre regarding Admiral Howe, whom sailors referred to as "Black Dick." The clip was highlighted on the television show "The Soup."
