I've never heard Severin, but he sounds like all the other phony conservatives who think Saddam Hussein's rape rooms were not reason enough for deposing him. What will they say when the Iraqi documents and tapes being translated as I write reveal that Saddam managed his WMDs well with the help of Syria and who knows who else. PS: I'd rather have democracy forced on me than tyranny ANY DAY!
Thanks for the ping. I subscribe to the Herald but haven't
looked at today's paper yet!
I can take Severin in very short doses. He started off his
show Jan 3 (first one) by referring to the execution of
Tookie Williams "the other day" (huh? It was 2-3 weeks
before!!) and blew a noisemaker to celebrate (OK, that I
agree with).
Jay's real name and his marital status have been kept a secret for the most part, though people on radio-interest boards know it. On an early show, someone asked Jay how
his "lovely wife Renee" was doing. Jay angrily cut him off
saying, "You're just pulling a name out of thin air..."
OK, so Jay can keep his personal life secret if he wants but his on-air persona seems to be a young (no) single (no)
horny (maybe) guy.
Oh, and did you know he won a couple
Pulitzer prizes? He refused to discuss that on the
air (and no, he didn't win the prizes, he won the
"equivalent of them") and he keeps referring to
one Boston Globe columnist who challenged him on it,
Scot Lehigh, as "Scat He-Lies".
WPRO in Providence runs him on Sunday nights. Their
webpage was pointed to jayseverin.org by mistake:
that's actually an anti-Jay site (or Jay watchdog,
depending on one's point of view)
