Not soon enough. Take Rowland with him.

Is it me, or is the Wil Marotti radio thing just plain weird?
He went from being a clergy member and John Rowland's personal pastor/ sidekick, to a WTIC host in his own right.
This seems as strange to me as say, hiring Father John Gatzak to host talk programs and fill in where needed on the late morning talk slot.
I'm not saying Marotti sounds bad - he's actually very professional - but it's weird that an ordained clergy member would be doing this, rather then tending his flock.
I also agree with the Record-Journal article. Marotti should be tolerant and acceptant of all political leanings, and not pushing the right-wing agenda like some poor man's Rush Limbaugh. That's Rowland's and Vicevich's job.

Marotti is a publicity hound, pure and simple. Organized religion is full of them.
