In the world of right-wing radio it is getting harder and harder for talk-show hosts to top each other with wild, insane, conspiratorial, racist, misogynistic bullshit.
But Jay Severin of WTTK in Boston is doing his part.
He got his sorry ass suspended once again this week, apparently for the following:
Raphael wouldn't discuss what Severin said to upset listeners and perhaps advertisers, but we're told it may be related to a comment Severin made while discussing sexual harassment in the workplace. (He implied it is an employer's prerogative to have sex with an intern, and implied he may have done so many years ago.)
Severin is on his second suspension:
The highly-paid drive-time host, who was pulled off the air in 2009 for calling Mexican immigrants "primitives," "leeches," and exporters of "women with mustaches and VD," has been suspended indefinitely, according to a station spokeswoman.
Makes you wonder what he has to say to get himself actually, you know, fired.
Must be a lot. This is the same guy that once called Hillary Clinton a "lying bitch."
There is an obvious pattern with this guy -- misogyny:
Mexican women have VD and moustaches, it's an employer's right to have sex with an intern (safe to assume, I think, he means a male boss and female intern) and a female presidential candidate is a bitch.
Here's another part of the story, though, that says a lot:
A source at WTKK was surprised by the suspension and characterized the comment as mild in comparison to the misogynistic, borderline racist rantings found elsewhere on the radio.
Translation: He's not as racist as Rush, so what's the big deal?
