Howard Stern - Michael Moore's kissing cousin.

[luvbach1]

Howard Stern is not really anti-America, especially when compared to Michael Moore. He just has a vendetta with the FCC and the Bush administration for the fines levied on his network for his show's alleged obscenity.

Howard Stern - Michael Moore's kissing cousin.

...actually they the same....multiplying by fission or "Budding".

Stern's ego is a big as moore's ass

[ingeborg]

Actually, he was bodysnatched and started sounding like it, along with Robyn, around the time Limbaugh went into rehab. Then, almost like he was possessed, he started shoehorning in jabs against Rush that sounded really forced. Then, he devolved into the talking point turd he is now.

[cripplecreek]

If you ask me disagreement day (today) on Michael Medveds show is top notch entertainment. Nothing funnier than listening to liberals rant untill they realize they're ranting and hang up.

[WhiteGuy]

FREEDOM OF SPEECH BUMP!!!


KOAM BUMP!!!


FREE HOWARD STERN!

[lelio]

The decision to hire Stern was almost a no-brainer, Young said.

Probably the most truthful thing ever to come out of Mr Young's mouth in a while.

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

Stern is in a death spiral to oblivion. Another massive ego in final flame out.

Here is the headline from the Austin paper today.

Howard Stern coming back to Austin airwaves

Local hip-hop station KQBT-FM will carry controversial show beginning July 19

[babaloo999]

That may be, but I wonder how long it'll take Howie to get in trouble with the FCC again. Maybe this is just a not well thought out move for publicity by the station management, though they'll get the high ratings for his program.

"I am in a war. A cultural war."

Howard, you don't know the first thing about culture. You're a greasy little creep, an impressario of vulgarity, bad taste, and obscenity.

[MikefromOhio]

Kinda funny.....

I tried to listen to Howard Stern before all this stuff started...I couldn't. It is childish, stupid, repetitive nonsense that only the immature individuals that he panders too will listen too.

Make your show political please Howard.....make people mad....at you for being a nasty dirty smelly and hairy guy saying things that have no meaning and blasting the FCC for actually enforcing the rules on you. HAHA!!!

[Glenn]

Welcome to FR! Glad you found it.

[Steve_Seattle]

Howard thinks he's going to make an impact on the election, but I'll be surprised if his fans will break away from their Hungry Man TV dinners and 64 oz bottles of Old English malt liquor long enough to vote.

[fsorbello]

You know, I actually have nothing against Stern in particular. I used to listen to him quite regularly, in fact.

I guess I just hit a point in my life where lesbians, midgets and sexually perverted jokes weren't as funny as they used to be.

Should Stern still be allowed to be on the air? Sure, why not? But I hate to think that he is brain-washing his "minions" into voting against W. because he was nabbed for some stuff that he shouldn't having been doing in the first place. Free speach is one thing, but some of the stuff on his show does go too far.

[thegreatbeast]

Howard Stern is a friggin' idiot who only knows how to appeal to the worst in all of us. He may be funny but he isn't right.

[Calvin Locke]

Stern? He's okay the first two times you hear him. Then, he adds nothing new.

I thought his original, syndicated TV show had some good skits. And a lot of bombs too.

[newgeezer]

Then, he devolved into the talking point turd he is now.

Previously, he was just another piece o' sh*t.

[DJ Frisat]

I used to enjoy listening to Stern when he was in Detroit in the late 70s. The show was nothing like the pre-pubescent freak show that it is nowadays.

Ironically, he was out in an abrupt format change, the station he was working at switching over to country. It was amazing hearing him playing straight DJ to country songs - he sounded sedated and lobotomized. Didn't last long before he left the area.
