I agree with you totally. His wife was the only thing that saved him, not even Robin who he uses shamelessly. He's a pig, plain and simple.

The thing is, though, are there going to be clear standards, or is it going to go into a situation where all it takes is for someone to be offended, and a radio show is in trouble.

Let me ask, do you think for a moment that Gavin Newsom would NOT try to say that Rush Limbaugh and/or Sean Hannity's views on gay marriage or some other issue are in violation of the standards of decency San Francisco has? Look at his conduct in the gay marriage matter. He's defiant, even though it is obvious is he breaking a law passed by 60+% of the people of California.

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity's listeners compose a much smaller percentage. I think the Left will do it if they think they can succeed. Yeah, I am somewhat biased on this - I occasionally listen to Howard. I think he's a riot sometimes.

But I am also capable of changing the station or putting in a CD when I don't like his show that morning. The FCC is going overboard.

The ironic thing is that the marketplace is in the process of getting rid of Stern by turning him off. Now when he quits/retires, Stern will blame it on the politicians and Clear Channell instead of the real reasons; poor ratings and a lack of creativity.
