Ha,ha...

[montag813]

I thought the whole point of SIRIUS was to uncensor Stern.

[atomicpossum]

Ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaa.

Schadenfreude.

[dfwgator]

It may have been Stern himself that wants this. He needs an envelope to push.

[Gay State Conservative]

Hey,Howard....did the reservation agent at Air Florida Airlines ever tell you what they charged for a ticket from Dulles Airport to the 19th Street Bridge in DC?

You worthless punk!

I thought the whole point of SIRIUS was to uncensor Stern.

Maybe they assumed he was close to as 'bad as he can be'. . .and did not realize he had it in him to be sooooooo much worse.

Too bad. . .soo sad for Sirius and maybe for an audience that expected the worse. . .and now will not get it.

[proxy_user]

They have probably discovered that his act is much more amusing when he is working around censorship.

[roses of sharon]

Poor Howie, the aging pervert needs more publicity?

Another ploy for more Sirius customers?

[rattrap]

I think that was the Greaseman wasn't it?

[Red Badger]

They've discovered that not that many Middle-School kids subscribe to Sirius...........

[OXENinFLA]

D@mn this is just too FUNNY!!!!!!!!!

[SlowBoat407]

Hah! I always knew that Stern was little more than a XXXXX and a XXXXX. But I guess that goes without saying.

[SheLion]

D@mn this is just too FUNNY!!!!!!!!!

My gawd!  If this isn't a gimmick, I bet Howie is screaming to high heaven!  That is why he left the other station.  So he wouldn't have to put up with censorship.

Holy cow!

[Mo1]

He needs an envelope to push

I agree

Thing is .. Stern could be funny and make his point without all the cursing

[dighton]

NY Post headline ping, with honorable mention for para 3.

[GOP_Proud]

I guess Sirius wasn't series.

[RexBeach]

That's the old Washington National to the 14th Street Bridge...but I agree with you. Howard is the world's biggest punk. He actually thought that would be a funny bit...the next day!

[Moose4]

No, that was Stern, right after the Air Florida 90 crash in 1982. He called them and asked for the price of a one-way ticket from Washington National to the Fourteenth Street Bridge (which the plane clipped before crashing into the Potomac).

Greaseman got fired after making the comment, on Martin Luther King Day, "if they shoot four more, do we get a week off?"

Ironically, both of them worked for the same station, WWDC (DC 101)--Greaseman was Stern's replacement, but Stern came back on DC on WJFK a few years later (I think DC was the third market his show syndicated in) and got into a heavy ratings war with the Greaseman. The guy on DC 101 now, "Elliot in the Morning," is a not-very-talented Stern wannabee that they also simulcast on WXRL down here in Richmond.

Very series indeed.

I couldn't care less what this disgusting creep says or does.
