I wondered what has gone on with him as well, especially this morning when he was hand wringing and doing the liberal OOOH killing Suleimani is bad routine.

He was so firm in his love of this nation and being hard line against those would do us harm 15-20 years ago. Listening to him today vs after 9/11 is really kind of heartbreaking.

I think it goes to show you that no matter what your character or beliefs may be “the bubble” eventually gets everyone and turns them into pod people.

Aside from that though his interviews have never been better and he’s the best person on the planet doing it today.

**Never listened to him.**

Me neither, but his success is good indicator of our increasingly morally dumbed down society.

I know people that just are not very smart, but are good, moral, folk. So, in some ways are actually smart.

He was my local morning DJ in high school — DC101.

Simple: Stern was either bribed or blackmailed to read a scripted interview and pretend it came from him.

Never listened to shock jocks.

I know he’s the guy whose show Me Again Kelly went on to discuss relative penis sizes.

tl;dr.

I will say this. His immature and profane shtick never appealed to me. How was he so popular? Are there that many 15 year old boys who found short penis skits funny?

Then there’s his blatant racism. When?? When will the entertainment crowd turn against him for that?

"How was he so popular?"

I attribute his popularity to Sphincterine.

Never really cared for him, except that I did like his first syndicated, and short-lived TV show. FWIW, I think he went to AOC's alma mater...Boston University.

Don't know if he graduated, though.

I never liked him.

I found his humor and pranks to be juvenile and appealing to the lowest common denominator.

Being a popular radio host many people, including Trump, were disarmed and mistakenly agreed to be interviewed only to be torpedoed with gotcha and inappropriate off-color questions.

Conservatives should learn the lesson. Don't agree to be interviewed by anyone who asks you. It's likely the interviewer has an agenda and you're the target.

Don't interview with mainstream liberal media outlets. They're traps. They have no intention of treating you fairly.

People make the mistake such interviews will keep them in the public eye. They're right but often for the wrong reasons.

Conservatives should simply turn down most interviews with liberal media. Don't give your enemy ammunition to us against you.

Think of these interviews as the youtube video, "Never Talk to the Police". It's called entrapment.

Pod people. For sure.

Allison left him and he never got over it.

His audience is either sixteen year olds or people stuck at 16 emotionally. I don’t think that’s changed since the mid 1980s.

Lotta words for a disgusting human.

That said, no one comes out of a Clinton interview unscathed. The are going to be loyal to the Clintons on everything forever

Heck, David letterman had emergency coronary surgery the day after H appeared on his show. He was never against her from that point.

Tom Hanks produced Band of Brothers. The best American film/series. Top 3 He criticized Clinton for being disgusting and he was a step ford wife in no time. Ever since, too.
