[DToTheJ]

WRKO morning host Tom Finneran refuses to issue an apology to Karyn Polito, after saying on his show earlier this week that the Republican state treasurer candidate has a "tight little butt":

By the way, according to the article, Polito is scheduled to phone into Finneran's show in, oh, about 15 minutes from now.

If a tree falls in the forest........

According to the article, it was the producer who made the remark.
Producers should produce, not be sidekicks IMHO. Just because it made good TV on Fraiser, doesn't mean it makes good radio

Keep it classy Tom, Tom, and Cooksey!

I guess it is only calling someone a "fat lesbian" is grounds for termination.

If clicking on the jumping whale doesn't get you out of the building nothing will.

As I understand it Polito didn't mind but her opponent Grossman did object.

They like Finn & Fein there. he won't get into trouble. Gets show into the news; they think
it could boost ratings/visibility

I would think that was actually a compliment!
If he called it a "big, flabby butt" - then all
hell would break loose...

Scott Brown got attention for his good looks, etc. After his election Sat Night Live did a sketch
where the newbie Brown kept barging in to a meeting of Congressional leaders (he was lost,
not used to his new workplace) and they showed cast members playing Nancy Pelosi and Barbara
Boxer (they thought of him as a sex machine), Barney Frank (who dreamed he was the construction guy from the Village People), and Robert Byrd (who pictured Brown as a 20s-era flapper girl). The guy playing Brown winked at the camera--sex appeal...

First part of sketch

Brown (dream vision): "I'd like to introduce something to the floor. It's called...your panties."
Pelosi (to the vision): "Ooh! Mama like!"
