“IIRC Michaels is fairly conservative.”
He definitely is.
Last time he got in trouble was during the Kerry vs W election. Between plays, the camera crew displayed a concession counter sprinkling powdered sugar on waffles. (they looked pretty good)
I don’t recall whether Kerry was in attendance at the game or not, but Michaels made the comment that Kerry would certainly be in the right place given the waffles. (Kerry was currently being labeled a “waffler” for changing his position on issues as politically expedient.
I think Michaels’ recent comment was funny. To compare a serial rapist like Weinstein to Trump’s comment that women who seek men of power will allow themselves to be groped is disingenuous at best, and partisan hack journalism at worst.
My all-time favorite Michaels’ moment was during the O.J. car chase when the Howard Stern prank caller called into Peter Jennings, and it was Michaels that finally had to clue Peter in.
