Handel makes his living from being in bad taste. He really does offend all around pretty equally. He makes off-color remarks about Jews (his own religion), blacks, Arabs, Hispanics (he was born in S. America), and he rips his wife a new one almost daily. But all his remarks are very superficial. In life he is a very generous and loving guy with great morals.

He is basically conservative with a few liberal ideas thrown in (national health care and gay marriage). He is a very hard worker with several full-time jobs, and he won the local Marconi this last year. He's obnoxious but has great in-depth reporting on stories that really matter. I don't always listen to him but I'm never sorry when I do. I've met him and we had a great conversation.

You have to admit he's an acquired taste. Some may find him...obnoxious.

Just saying, if you make jokes about religious pilgrims, say, dying when a bridge collapses, you better expect some arrows, and I won't feel sorry for ya.
