Jay lost me when he said "You go girl" in support of Cindy Sheehan. I heard Hannity (whose show was aired in place of Jay's as it generally is in Severin's absence) mention Jay on his show today, too.

Jay is a fraud who has embellished his resume....

He looks like a rabid right winger in Boston but that doesn't take much

[Maceman]

I stopped listening to Jay back during the 2004 election cycle.

His incessant negativism about Bush losing really got on my nerves, as did his harping about his 20 years of professional political consulting experience which gave him great insight into the probable outcome.

Then his constant ragging on Bush for the war in Iraq. He's mad because he thinks we just should have nuked Iraq rather than lose one soldier, and that at least we should have left after Saddam was deposed.

Too bad, because he is extraordinarily articulate, and can be quite witty. He would be a joy to listen to if he weren't such a pill.

No Jay Severin for me, thanks just the same. Jay's annoying, a martini bar kind of guy.

Howie Carr knows Boston's politicians and hoodlums (often one and the same). He actually broadcasts from Boston, unlike Jay. Howie is a regular guy, no pretensions. And very funny.

[OldFriend]

Michael Savage in drag. Just my opinion.

[BansheeBill]

Less flattering article on Severin, also in today's Boston Globe here: Severins Phony Pulitzer.
I don't listen to him anymore. He pretends to be broadcasting from Boston but actually broadcasts from a Long Island Studio. He claims to be this huge Libertine Ladies man, who solicits unattached nymphomaniacs to attend the live broadcasts (usually in Boston area bar rooms) that he comes up from Long Island to do every 6 to 8 weeks. Yet he is said to be happily married with children. He apparently changed his name. He has Cindy Sheehan on his show and fawns over her. What else is he making up?

[sharktrager]

Hmm...If it is several top 10 stations I wonder if one of those is Dallas. He would be a huge departure from the normal fare on the station Stern will be departing. Heaven knows they have not indicated any progress in replacing him.

[nickcarraway]

Didn't this guy use to be on in the New Jersey/New York Area? Maybe on WOR?

[MRMEAN]

He used to be synidcated and I heard him on a Portland station, and later I think he was on WOR in NY and I'd pick up the AM signal...I think that this was the mid-90s. I liked him...and I wrote last year to a local station to take a liberal (Lionel) off and replace him with Jay, I wanted to hear Jay's commentary during the election season.

I'm also a Howie fan and I heard the snide comments about Jay today but didn't realize until reading a post to today's Howie Carr thread that it was about Jay. It's pretty funny.

[Vision Thing]

Former Bostonian here. I listened to Jay sometimes, but he was a creep, which fit the depravity of some Bostonians. During one broadcast, Jay shared a stage with Laura Ingraham. He kept complimenting her on her looks. I sensed that Laura was put off by it. How? She normally is quick to reply during broadcasts, but she wasn't whenever Jay talked about her appearance. Instead, she was silent. I felt uneasy for Laura about it.

After that broacast, I mainly tuned into Jay's competitor, that candy-a$$ed ruffian named Howie Carr.

Still missing on WTKK.

[DM1]

this guy pissed me off when he said he would vote for Nader then Bush then demonizes Iraq war etc etc etc

[Stars&StripesNE]

I started listening to Jay after the 2000 election. I stopped when he started the bullcrap about Bush and the Iraq war.

I never liked his 'best and brightest' line, and told him so when he was in our town for a live broadcast. It was patronizing and disingenuous. He's a tiny man with a Napoleon complex.

I am thankful that the station now carries Sean Hannity instead of Jay. I switch back and forth between Hannity and Howie, who is comic relief.

[DM1]

This guy is a schmuck
he bashed Bush during the election, said he was going to vote for Nader but wanted everyone else to vote for Bush. Then Reagan (God Bless him) passed away and he said that we should all vote for Bush. Fair weather friend at best

[Fresh Wind]

One Michael Savage is enough, thank you.
