FF will be getting his butt kicked in the ratings and one day he’ll make one of his trademark stupid threats. That’ll be the excuse for RKO to dump him.
When he opened his show, he got nasty, saying the Herald was “maybe the worst newspaper in America” and that he’d talked about his Britney remarks later in the show.
Now, keep in mind that Finneran was reading from yesterday’s Herald yesterday when he was describing the pop star’s MTV Video Music Awards fiasco.
Jane Doe Inc. in Massachusetts says Finneran should apologize. He doesn’t.
“This whole story in the Herald is positively ridiculous,” Finneran fumed. “It was as clear as a bell what I was referencing to.” (Finneran didn’t return my call last night).
Murphy, who is quoted in today’s story, called into his show today, saying that she has said on TV that the women who think convicted pregnant-wife killer Scott Peterson is innocent should be “slapped.”
“Of course he doesn’t mean it,” Murphy said of Finneran. Murphy went on to say it was a “figure of speech” and Finneran always gushes about his kids and granddaughter.
Finneran said the station’s switchboard would have lit up if he’d made innappropriate remarks.
Hey Finneran, a station's switchboard only lights up when a show has listeners.
Hired more as a favor to the local Democrat Party political establishment than for his on- air skills, which are atrocious, "Tommy Taxes" (as he is known locally for his dedication to the Dukakis- inspired ideology of Taxachusetts) has so far struggled to generate ratings.
As a result, could this be a mere stunt? Possibly, but more likely it's little more than a corrupt, washed-up political hack shooting off his mouth.
