He’s supp. moved to the left, against Iraq war etc. though was seen as conservative/libertarian years ago.
He went off the deep end several years ago when G.W. became President. Nightly rants against Iraq. Well, O.K. Then he changed his registration from Libertarian to democrat so he could vote for Obama in the California Primary. Now he is big proponent of Obamacare and single payer due to his near death while on vacation in Tahiti. The French health care system came to his rescue and charged him(his insurance company) $40K for nearly a month in the hospital. He was in ICU unit for much of the time. I hope some poor French cheese maker realizes his high taxes are, in part, saving the life of an American talk show host on an Island Paradise he will never visit.
Sounds like he is a far cry from what he was saying when he was in Boston.
Gene has been on and off the air due to health issues more and more in the last few years. Too bad, sharp mind but affected by the constant wash of liberal views at his previous station.
