WTKK Replaces Crowley's PhD With A Bachelor

L

Laurence Glavin

Guest
Acording to a posting on radio-info's front page, WTKK-FM 969 will be replacing Dr. Monica Crowley with John Bachelor on Saturday nights from 10:00 pm until 1:00 am Sunday. First, Dr. Crowley's daily trainwreck of a show caused WNSH-AM 1570 to flip to Spanish lingo. WTKK didn't follow suit; they just replaced her.

John Batchelor's show is very interesting, despite the fact that he doesn't have the best sounding set of pipes in the business. In my view, it's a cut above the average talk show fare and is geared more toward the intellectual.

Yes, Saturday night is a crummy daypart for such a show; he's on WABC New York on Sunday nights and I've heard him do fill-ins in San Francisco as well. It probably won't be burning up the ratings, though I personally would be far more likely to tune in to Batchelor than I ever would to Crowley. We'll see how many others see it that way.

She has a doctoral degree? In what? Cosmetology? (No, I didn't mean cosmology.) On the McLaughlin Report on Channel 2, I learned that she is an extraordinarily attractive young woman who can string five words together in a coherent sentence, but whose Neanderthal politics would be more appropriate to a creature that had just emerged from the primordial slime. On her unlamented radio program, I learned that she could play the role of someone with a sixth-grade education who was ashamed of having been forced to spend even that many years in school. Over the years, lots of people have demonstrated that having a PhD does not guarantee that the holder has even normal intelligence. Ms Crowley certainly gives no evidence of having any more than average intelligence. In what field is her PhD? What institution of higher learning granted it? Bob Jones University?

Not without saying "but look" preceding that coherent sentence.

I believe Monica got her PhD. at Colgate. She's removed the McLaughlin Group off my must tape list. She replaced Tony Blankley and ruined the show. John should dump her in '10. Like the WSJ did about a decade ago, when she used their pages to plagiarize for a column.

It was Bachelor and Alexander.

I couldn't stand Monica Crowley either, agree that she ruined McLaughlin--and on TKK, following a Jay rerun, it was just too much over-enunciated right wing spewing. Why does she talk like that? And too much emphasis on her "4 inch heels" in which she skewers the left.

But it did crack me up that she calls Obama "the bama."
 
Yup, Paul Alexander to be exact (a John and Paul who weren't with the Beatles...)

As before, tis all a matter of taste and political viewpoints--there are those who spew lefty as well as righty.
 
it's hard to imagine how you can ruin a TV show

You don't have to imagine: She's Awful.
For those who are sharply and falsely criticising Monica Crowley, remember you don't have to listen to her.

Well I don't listen to her. And she has't been "falsely" criticised

From the Wall Street Journal:
There are striking similarities in phraseology between "The Day Richard Nixon Said Goodbye," an editorial feature Monday by Monica Crowley, and a 1988 article by Paul Johnson in Commentary magazine ... Had we known of the parallels, we would not have published the article."

Maybe you need some help with this

Help somebody else. I don't like her: what don't you understand about that?
I don't listen to her (show). But have heard her on Imus many times and on the McLaughlin Group, weekly, for over a year.
By the way what I've mentioned is kind compared to what conservative lawyer Deb Schlussel has to say.
