Former Speaker of the House Thomas Finneran said hes leaving his post as a radio yakker on WRKO-AM, announcing on air this morning that Thursdays show will be his last.
Finneran said on the Tom & Todd morning show that he will be pursing other plans and opportunities out there in the real world and will sign off after Thursdays show. He joined the station in February 2007.
Were having a very amicable parting, he said.
Finneran lost his own law license and was sentenced to 18 months unsupervised probation after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice in 2007.
The charges stemmed from misleading testimony in a 2003 federal suit filed by minority voter groups upset over a House plan to redraw legislative districts along racial lines. Finneran denied knowledge of the plan but actually played a key role in crafting the new districts, prosecutors said.
Taxtakers vs taxPAYERS.......
ROTFL... A true "Howie-ism"!
Thanks for the WGAN sound clip - it played fine on Firefox 12.0 for me.
I'm happy to hear from Howie himself that he isn't interested in doing a morning show...
I worked for Avi getting signatures door to door. I always regretted that Avi never got a chance to debate Lovell.
I agree generally regarding Dyett, but I didn’t know he actively lobbied to take Brudnoy off WBZ.
Sleeze,pure sleeze.
