Radio Daze III

WRKO AM 680, the worst sinkhole of talk radio rightical chic freakjobs, is noodling around with a liberal-based talk show.
Yes indeedy the home of the "Michael Savage Show " , gladhanding corruptard Pete Blute, and our own Howie Carr will soon be getting all fair-n-balanced with a lone liberal talk call-in show....called Counterpoint.
Oh be still my freakin' heart.
And I'm somehow supposed to be grateful that these jack-offs have exiled this single solitary lee-ber-al program to Saturday night the single worst time of the week for talk radio.
I mean...talk about open contempt!
They've even dragged poor old Marjorie Claprood out of whatever gully she had fallen into to act as the host on a rotating basis with three other sacrificial lambs.
Marjorie has to be hurting for the money, that is my only explanation for her participation in this crude, patronizing, and embarrassing project.
She and that useless old golem Pat Whitley were sufficiently popular to hold down a daily drive time slot back in the days when talk radio feared the liberals enough to pair up a conservative with a known local democrat or progressive.
Now she'll be trying to scare up callers on a Saturday night in Boston, pretty sad come down for a woman who was once a fearsome gubernatorial prospect.
Ghod but WRKO is just the worst station imaginable...what something like four hours a day minimally is devoted to hopeless fagbashers like Howie Carr and Michael Savage.
Howie ran out of things to say six years ago and Savage is suspected of being a gay-baiting closet case of the crudest and most repellant type.
And yet somehow a lone liberal program is supposed to balance out this mighty cataract of rightical chid effluvia?
More likely Counterpoint is supposed to fail, it has a bad time slot on a station whose demographic includes the functioning remnants of the Know Nothing Society.
Miserable prospects indeed....
So when it does get cancelled WRKO can swell with pride and proclaim "See lee-ber-al talk radio doesn't work-blah blah blaaaah".
Sick
Demented
Typical...
