w&j are fossils

Surely, Outlaw Dave, Wendy Miller, Stevens, Pruett and all radio people in Houston will rush to the defense of w&j and tell me I'm wrong.
if you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd know that W&J have been critical of the war and the administration.
Bullcrap! They supported the war from day one giving uninformed opinions ever since. Conservative Republicans have also been "critical of the war". They still support staying in Iraq. W&j openly endorsed this administration in the last two elections. Anyone who disagrees with them is called a far left communist.
I'm not surprised those morons are doing what many Republicans are doing--putting distance between themselves and this President and backtracking--that's what people do when they are wrong, fool.

Your gripes about their kids are laughable. Johnson's are not old enough. Walton's are still in school
Still in school? You mean university? Are they ever going to graduate? Let me guess, they inherited their father's intellect.
If Johnson's are teens, they can make a commitment to the ROTC and join immediately after graduation.

W&J never laughed at Katrina. They lived in NO for years and had friends stay with them through it. They slammed the local and state government but never mocked what happened.
There you go, fool. They didn't slam the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BECAUSE IT WAS OCCUPIED BY A REPUBLICAN.
They didn't dare want to criticize any actions of Republicans during this time, ONLY DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS.
They slammed Nagin and Blanco who they have slammed repeatedly since their elections long before Katrina because they are Democrats. They've called Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco a dumb woman numerous times, long before Katrina, only because she was affiliated with the Democratic party. W&j's politics are very simple: Republican=good, Democrats=communists trying to destroy America.
Rod Ryan did more for Katrina victims than w&j. W&j's only contribution was to offer their advice from Houston, leave backward, politically corrupt Louisiana and come move to Houston where they can have more Louisiana listeners fill out diaries for the w&j show. In other words, they only had selfish motives for wanting Louisiana residents to move to Texas--more Houstonians with high w&j name recognition.
They made plenty of low class tasteless comments about Katrina victims and the destruction.
Their buddy Boysie Bollinger, a big George W. Bush supporter and vocal w&j fan told the BBC last summer he prefers the new demographics in New Orleans without the blacks and will focus on hiring workers from Mexico and Eastern Europe. W&j like to cater their comments to wealthy local Republicans like Boysie Bollinger and ridicule anyone with a differing view.

How do you know they're hated everywhere they go? You don't know that. Most of your claims are second guesses and faulty info.
Wrong! Guess what? I worked at Clear Channel Houston the same time they did and I've been in radio along the Gulf Coast as long as w&j, if not longer. I know people who have worked with w&j from the New Orleans days of Q93, B97, 92.3 and WRNO. Some of these people I call friends. I've had more than one lunch with people like Tom Kennedy and I had a nice long conversation some time ago with someone called Marc Koppelman. Have you heard of these people? W&j have reputations that preceed them; I guess you can't understand that.
I'll tell you what else, I know some of the people that they've trashed for no reason over the years. They've trashed people in other dayparts on the stations they've worked for. Some of those people were talented individuals with great voices and skills and the ability to create network quality spots and promos. They didn't have the old dried up voice like walton.
Simply, they just act like they don't like anyone else at the radio station. They want worship and red carpet treatment at all times.
In Houston they've proven NOTHING in the ratings. I'm sure they have plenty of scapegoats.
Over the years I have talked to many of the on-air people that have worked at the same stations as w&j. You'd be surprised how much info you can get from people when you buy them lunch.
If w&j were to see my face, they would know who I am, same with Outlaw Dave, Wendy and many, many others that have worked with w&j over the years at many stations.

well it could have been worse..butts and tucker in the morning.. ;D
Well, I'll just say that Butz&Tucker were about one notch better than w&j, but that's not saying much!
You have provided another example of what I was talking about. W&j have called Tommy Tucker the bald headed cross-eyed knome and have made hateful and mean comments about him. So now if they have to go back to Entercom New Orleans, they'll have to share the coffee pot and Tucker will have to resist the temptation to break it on their bald heads covered with Astroturf or whatever polymer hairplants w&j have had. You know Tucker would do it and most of the building would applaud.

They lived in NO for years
No, walton lived in Kenner, Louisiana, about 15 miles West of the city--a burb of a burb;
johnson lived on the "Northshore" in Mandeville, Louisiana, about 40 miles north of New Orleans.
Would you care to have their old phone numbers?
HD2, I don't care what paranoid labels you want to call my posts--crusade, crucifixion, conspiracy.
Like Tommy Lee Jones said in The Fugitive, "I don't care!". 8)
Now shouldn't you be getting some nappy time so you're not too cranky running the board Monday, unless they've already locked you out of the building.
