It's strange that my endearment of the Howard Stern Show really started when Stuttering John Melendez asked Jennifer Flowers if Bill Clinton used a condom at a National Enquirer press conference in 1992. Granted, my only prior exposure was the syndicated Saturday night television series that aired on an independent channel, but those questions Stuttering John posed to Jennifer Flowers scored points that endeared me to the show.

Therefore, when I finally heard the actual radio program in 1993, it was a disappointment to me that Howard Stern endorsed Bill Clinton for President.

Eventually, I managed to allow Howard Stern to entertain me in spite of his misguided endorsement of abortion-on-demand. It was more than just the description of sexual activities, but it was the humanity that emanated from Howard Stern's personal experiences, albeit troubled with psychological problems.

Howard Stern has been unadulterated fun. Even if Howard would mute himself about a trouble that revolved around the show at times, he'd eventually share the details. He was like the relative who'll spill the gossip on deep family secrets.

I personally suspect Howard Stern will weather this latest uproar, and although his attacks will be wrongly guided, he'll make more money each year than I can make in a lifetime. I just have to laugh when he says my free speech is being muted, when he is being paid to air his speech when I am not.

Howard Stern is most definitely a hypocrite, and he'll even acknowledge that from time to time. Eventually, if he opts to do radio after his Infinity contracts expires, I suspect he'll move to satellite radio where radio will become much like television now.

As for Stern's attacks against Republicans and mainly, George W. Bush, he has been conditioned to hate them. Remember, he voted for Al Gore. He rallied against the FCC when George H.W. Bush was President, but acquiesced when his boss Mel Karamzin paid the outrageous fines levied upon Infinity when President Clinton took office. Granted, he points that out as extortion, but he doesn't blame the Clinton administration as much as he does George H.W. Bush's administration, even though it was two years into Clinton's administration when the FCC cracked down on Infinity.

And essentially, Stern is oblivious to the conditions of the beloved liberal agenda he embraces. He has no idea how much Universities upend the voice of conservatives on campus, and from his latest statements concerning his open mind regarding gay "marriage", he probably even supports the universities who end conservative debates. I personally can't even fathom a way of convincing him otherwise, but I don't think I'm the only listener who continues to listen even though I'm fed up with his political views.
