I’m starting to see a pattern here. Politicians seem to realize that in order to score some cheap brownie points with the public at large, all they have to do is take a crap on radio hosts…

In the wake of the slayings of 32 people by student Seung-Hui Cho, who also took his own life, Boortz began asking why Tech students didn’t fight back. He called it part of the “wussification of America” and a symptom of a passive culture fostered by the political left…..

On Monday, the three legislators called on the eight Virginia stations that carry Boortz to drop him. “This community up here’s still suffering greatly,” Shuler said Tuesday…. Still, Stevens said, before the delegates’ letter, he had received just one call about the comments, and it was so nonspecific that he had not realized what it was about.

Similarly, managers at WFIR in Roanoke — which pulled Boortz’s show for a day in response to the comments — WLNI in Lynchburg and WMVA in Martinsville said they had heard few complaints about Boortz. Leonard Wheeler, president and general manager of WFIR, called Boortz’s words “totally unfair, horribly ill-timed, completely insensitive” but said he heard much more outcry when he didn’t air the show for a day than about the remarks themselves….

Vultures, the lot of them.

I’m not saying Boortz was right. In fact, I find him morally reprehensible and an overall shithead who I’ve publicly (meaning literally to his face) told to go fuck himself. That being said, can we stop trying to bolster our political careers by shitting on jocks who say dumb stuff? It really is starting to get old now.

Neal Boortz is a piece of crap. He said something dumb.

Can all the vultures in Richmond stop acting like they just hit the political lottery?
