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.
I haven't listened much to Severin lately nor radio in general. These days, its all satellite radio and podcasts.
In fact, if anybody out there subscribes to Adam Curry's "Daily Source Code,", Adam sounds an awful lot like Jay Severin. That is, with respect to voice and speaking style, not politics.
Me too! I had only started listening to him in June of 2004 but between the Bush-bashing and the Iraq War bashing, I couldn't stand listening to him anymore...
When he was on in NYC a whileback..I'd switch over during one of Hannity's 7 minute commerical breaks..Jay is good, but when he starts going on about his darn dogs...
