Did you see Chris Rock on the Bill Maher show talking about Michael "Kramer" Richards

Bet you Howie Carr won't blurt out "towel heads" anymore - maybe he will think twice before he knocks gays and says he doesn't want to catch "the virus" (as if it isn't a heterosexual problem). Or will Carr say something really dumb to try to get attention.
Will Michael Savage's past sins will keep him in check?
Maybe Donovan McNabb will get the Rush Limbaugh program
According to Olbermann last night Limbaugh gets 13 million plus listeners, Savage 8 1/2 million,
Don Imus 2 million.
Therein lies the real Imus problem. Like John DePetro they just wanted to get rid of him anyway and,
as one poster noted, find David Lee Roth to fill in.

DePetro puts foot in mouth again justifying that his comment was factually correct: "John DePetro, a radio talk show host who was fired by WRKO after calling gubernatorial candidate Grace Ross a "fat lesbian."
"As much as mine was mean-spirited, it was factually accurate," said DePetro, who now works at WPRO in Providence."
Vennochi notes what a failure DePetro was: "Letting DePetro go was partly market-driven. In the end, the market will decide Imus's fate, too."
The bottom line: no sponsors, no Imus.
