from Brian Maloney, the Radio Equalizer:

“— Mike chose to live a risky, self- destructive lifestyle. There’s just no way to dispute that. He got into scuffles with police, made enemies around town and carried a loaded gun. He often didn’t pay his bills, including union dues, even when employed full- time and making a fairly substantial salary at KIRO.

“— In his professional life, Mike spent far more time undermining and sabotaging managers and co- workers than promoting his own career or even prepping for his show. Targeting certain employees, he impersonated his boss through phony instant messages to staffers, antagonized other hosts and drove AFTRA crazy, all while touting his supposedly superior “progressive” values. Webb also asserted on- air that President Bush should be “executed”.

“What happened to Mike was terrible, we all hoped he would get the help that he needed, but somehow that didn’t happen. In the meantime, it is crazy to accuse people of murder, just as it is downright dishonest to declare him a saint over the airwaves today.”

Mike Webb: “Prison abuse in Iraq “is a war crime, committed by the president of the United States... And do you know what the punishment for that is? Death!... So, I say if this man has committed a war crime, and they can prove it, let’s let George Bush get the final justice that he has meted out as governor of Texas, laughing at people who have been sent to the death chamber, let him face the death penalty for the war crime he has committed...”
