Whitley is back on WRKO....

Pat Whitley formerly the conservative half of the olde "Clapprood and Whitley" radio show is back on the air.
Thus proving that mediocre conservazombies never ever truly exit the public airwaves.
Pat was a pretty pathetic character back ten years ago, former State Rep Margie Clapprood a proud liberal used to dice him like sushi every morning on their drive time radio show.
I could never quite figure out what was Pat's problem. He has a mellifluous voice (but then so does Adam West for heaven's sake) and he is reliable rightical chic apologist in ever y way. But for all that, he came off like Alan Colmes, ill informed and unwilling to fight past a certain point.
In short, raw meat for Margie who was intent on making a name for herself before running for office again.
Well, to be charitable, perhaps the old Pat was just too gentlemanly to go for the gut when arrayed against a woman.
Or he is a congenital patsy who needs easy prey-who knows?
Eventually Whitley got sick of the abuse and left to concentrate on his entirely harmless and forgettable restaurant review show.
But now Pat is back and with all the "advances" in conservative broadcasting formats, no doubt he'll do better.
Otherwise his revival is proof positive that the radio reactionary thing is scraping the bottom of the barrel....the supply of must be running low if undistinguished pompous bores like Pat are back in play.
Now how he will play against shrill ambitious freakjobs like Sean Hannity is unknown.
Sick
Demented
Typical...
