Too bad Jay couldn't figure out how to cross over from the Dark Side and move in the direction of conservatism.

Boy I remember how we Freepers went nutz when Savage was killed by ABC. Wonder if that same "anger" when be demonstrated since it was the liberal Marvin.

[spudsmaki]

There's always that Jennings and Jeffers thing, and the ever-lovable Nate Clay. You gotta hear Clay, tape him if nothing else. If I was a liberal, I'd be embarrassed to have him on my side. My favorite was Mike Malloy, sheer unrestrained liberal nastiness, but I repeat myself. I did like Bughouse Square.

Marvin was tendentious and overbearing the first contract (called all conservatives a "brain stem"), the second contract he was just boring and predictable.

They just don't make them like Larry Lujack any more. I've got about 50 hours of MP3 outtakes of ol' Uncle Lar, including the rant against Steve Dahl and his friendly advice to Chris Shebol, and The Bear Joke from Animal Stories. Too bad these outtakes are now purged.

I just don't see Eileen Byrne being able to do a solo act for 2 hours a day 5 days a week. Jay Marvin is a lost cause if you expect to try and get him plucked from the Dark Side. He looks and sounds like an idiot.

I love how the flaming liberal Robert Feder asks WLS if it has any liberal hosts now. Will he now be asking the same of the all the liberal evening news programs in Chicago on CBS, ABC, NBC and FOX? How about Chicago Tonight on PBS in Chicago? Come on Robert, do your job.

What's funny is that the democrats in Chicago consider Marvin a right-wing apologist:

"So, the person who fancies himself the voice of dissent calls the last debate a draw.

He said it was a draw.

ALL the scientific polls called it for Kerry.

Over 90% of Democrats called it for Kerry.

Well over half the Independents called it for Kerry.

But Jay Marvin called it a draw.

What a GOP shill Jay Marvin is, and how gullible so many of u are, that actually believe that he is dissent.

Remember, he was the one who told Sean Hannity, on the air, that he would either support an Independent or GWB this November."

Jay was OK before the start of the Iraq war, but then he turned, and he has been quite unhinged ever since. I am just guessing, but I am sure their audience was hurt by the fact that he was always insulting the audience. He would say things like, "well no one that listens to this radio station would...." and then say something to insinuate that all the listeners were racist kooks. I think Eileen is annoying also. I don't think she will do well.

I stopped listening a while ago, but now I am super happy about WIND. Mostly because I can listen to Laura Ingraham. She is so good. Her show is hilarious and very entertaining. I was so glad there is something for me to listen to during that time slot now. (I still listen some to Don and Roma, but I got over them when they were off. I really do think WLS is in for some rough times.)

[Barnacle]

Marvin is a Marxist who's spent the last three years trying to survive on post-911 talk radio in a split personality fashion.

Whereas many media folks wised up since then, Marvin's roots ran too deep to fully come over to the truth. Maybe Michael Moore could use a guy like this.

First Gary, now Jay Marvin, WLS just keeps getting better.

Too bad he had to be so subjective -- such an irrational posturer.

But come to think, maybe I'm being just repeating what you wrote. ;-`

I liked Jay Marvin. He kept me on the air for a good ten minutes, it was a fun conversation. I don't think he was bad for the radio station he was quite entertaining. Hopefully he'll go to AM 560.

[hgro]

Marvin preferred to talk about his mental difficulties than about anything meaningful. Eileen will do just fine on her own.

I really liked Jay. He was a lefty with a brain. I listened to him for years and he provided a lot of good perspective without delivering talking points. He seemed to be coming around to our point of view on a lot of issues , but there was something deep inside him that would not let him. He is a communist at heart even though he is a sellout and an elite due to his income. Lately he seemed to fall into using a lot of DNC talking points and that saddened me. I thought he was smarter than that. I want to see Teri and Art get that spot.
