What a load. Stern made it his business to go after George W during the 2004 Election. He embraced the Democrats back then.

Glad to see it come back to bite him in the a**.

What a has been

ha that is the transformation a lot of people go through when reality sets in and it starts to hurt their pocketbook

I always thought Stern was in essence a Libertarian who supported nominal Republicans of the sort we have in the northeast. He was fantastic in the days, weeks and months following September 11th and his show marking the first anniversary was more thoughtful and sensitive than anything CBS, NBC or ABC put together.

I distinctly recall him saying that the images of the Twin Towers being hit and coming down should be broadcast at the end of the news every night by every network, so important was the need to remind the people of what they were up against.

Then suddenly, on his return from vacation in the months before the '04 election, he became a rabid Democrat suffering a serious case of BDS. He was vile. He was often apoplectic. He spouted lie, after lie, after lie. He was a totally different person.

I asked a friend who is connected to some conservative media types what happened and he explained to me that Al Franken had gotten to him while vacationing in the Virgin Islands or some such place and convinced him of the "truth" of the Bush administration. That's probably just conjecture on someone's part. Who knows?

I didn't follow him to satellite and I still don't plan to. However, I'm curious if his "conversion" is genuine.

Oh, and "baba-booey" to y'all."

I agree. I wouldn’t bank or anything Stern says or does. His only talent is in making himself fabulously wealthy while making toilet noises, oogling lesbians, and embarrasing his guests. Great work if you can get it.
