Celebration Day: Neal Boortz leaves the air today

http://www.peachpundit.com/2013/01/18/bye-bye-boortz/

About the time this column is submitted for its daily deadline, Neal Boortz will be starting his final show on WSB radio and its syndicated affiliates. A fixture of Georgia media for the past four decades, Boortz helped create the genre that is today’s talk radio format and has become an integral part of how many in our state follow politics and other matters of contemporary news.

Since then he's pandered to under-educated radio racists. Can't stand the worthless soul.

He said on the radio that when he is at the supermarket and sees someone using food stamp card, he goes up to them and says VERY loudly "YOU"RE WELCOME!" then when the confused person says "what?" he says LOUDLY "I paid for that, you should thank me".
He gets his kicks humiliating people. Pure evil.
