Clear Channel Engineer fired in Wake of Katrina

Re: Reprint Of Mr.Buffalos Private E Mail. Not his post.

You sir, are an ass. A cold hearted low-class ignorant redneck whose self esteem is so low, you have to drag others down in order to make yourself feel better. You have the mental maturity of a young boy...and you are probably equally underdeveloped below the belt. Grow up. And until you can do that, shut the hell up.

Nice try at best!
 
Re: Reprint Of Mr.Buffalos Private E Mail. Not his post.

Not even close. Just about everything you said was wrong. Except that maybe you worked out west. But the assumptions and smartass remarks...way off base. For a self-rightious radio god from California, you really are a dumb ****.

What is your beef with rednecks? Little too gringo for you?
