Try, try again

If Lou Dobbs decides to run for president in 2012, credit/blame Ed Rollins. The Republican campaign strategist -- who brought us Ross Perot and Mike Huckabee -- used to be a regular on Dobbs' CNN show. Rollins is said to be pushing Dobbs to run, with himself, of course, as campaign manager. Snarked one GOPer: "Given the excellent job Rollins did for President Perot and President Huckabee, plus his famous claim that he 'suppressed the black vote' in Gov. Christie Whitman's <1993> campaign in New Jersey, it's hard to understand why Dobbs would put his fate in Rollins' hands." Rollins couldn't be reached for comment.

NOW, this Rachel Uchitel person with the alleged Tiger in her tank. Labeling her a "player," gossiping it's not her first-ever episode, sports VIPs have long eyed her warily.

Sports people say sexting -- sending amorous text messages, which is what we've heard is the core of this story -- is like skywriting. Floating in the clouds high and wide into cyberspace, everyone reads it. Another thing they say: Athletes are too often on the road alone. By day, adored and worshipped. By night, alone in a hotel room in, maybe, Pasadena, while the wife with the kids is at home in, maybe, Orlando. Things happen. Is what they say.

Jim Mitchell, p.r. man for places like Primola restaurant, knows Rachel since birth. In the '60s, he worked for her grandfather Maurice, a wealthy shoulder-pad manufacturer who bought Miami's then-famous Eden Roc Hotel just because he couldn't get a reservation, plus Manhattan's then-famous club El Morocco where he couldn't get a certain table. Plus his brother Hy, a rich TV appliance businessman, bought Madison and 65th's then-fancy restaurant Voisin. Both men are gone, both places are gone but, clearly, the high-living Uchitel style continues in Rachel.

A biggie in New York's Democratic party and particularly with Bobby Kennedy, Grandpa mixed with heavy-duty celebrities. With one son, who became Rachel's father, Uchitel was part of rich New York life. Lived at 880 Fifth Ave. Traveled. Had an upstate country home. Wintered in Acapulco or Palm Springs. Summered in Europe. Rachel's mom, Pat, subsequently divorced and remarried an attorney in Vegas, where Rachel began working in a nightclub.

I knew her kin. Newcasters: Stop pronouncing the last name "Ooch-itell." It's "Yook-itell."
