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.

When he was on WNBC back in the 80's, I got the feeling that he was a closet conservative. He did the Vigil for the Vigilante Bernard Getz, lots of song paradies about Khadafi and valuable insight into the news, that confirmed my suspicions. He was always living on the edge, he would rip his boss apart which was hilarious and he would say the things that most of us would think but would never say. When he changed stations all of that changed not to mention Presidential Administrations what he does not realize is that the country is as conservative as it is and that is how I would persuade him to change.

(Stern) 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.

Stern and Karmazin are both certifiable opportunists. They deliberately engage in acts of deception.

Karmazin appeared before Congress recently and---get this---actually apologized for the Super Bowl halftime Boob Jackson incident. Karmazin---who heads a major TV network-- acted like he never watched MTV--the halftime show producer--and didn't know what kind of entertainment to expect. Duh. Mel baby, I got a bridge I can sell you cheap.......it's in Brooklyn.

Opportunists Stern and Karmazin make money on off of deception. This crud Stern would have never been hired anywhere had he not stuck his thumb in the eye of the First Amendemnt and screwed every decent American.

You think Stern is a rank opportunist. Get a load of the lowlife crowd over at CBS.

60 Minutes longtime producer Don Hewitt, put the conniving Clintons on that show to launch their criminal presidency. Those who watched knew the two lied and lied and lied. Some years later in his autobio, Hewitt said he knew the Clintons were lying but put them on anyway. Thank you, Hewitt, you lowlife, for foisting the criminal Clintons on the USA.

Andy Rooney did his recent 60 Minutes bit against Christian America.

Andy asked Mel Gibson: "How many million dollars does it look as if you're going to make off the crucifixion of Christ?"

My question to Andy Rooney is, "How many millions have the warped Hollyweirdos made trashing our culture, demeaning Christians, trivializng our beliefs?

We all know Hollywood is nothing but the sum of its bank balances. Yes, Mel's film is about to make hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention the global take. And then there's all the residuals....too numerous to mention. Once money-hungry Hollywarped sees the bucks to be made, we'll be awash in religious films.

Andy, we Christians forgive you for attacking Mel. You had to bow to your bosses wishes---perhaps the soulless CBS elite tasked you to do the Gibson hit piece for them.....or else.

Anyway, Andy you still have a paycheck, but you must have a sour taste in your mouth from that 60 Minute BJ you had to give Karmazin and Hewitt.
