Boy do I feel stupid--it looks like Neal Boortz was on vacation after all
Edited on Mon Mar-31-08 02:45 PM by civildisoBDence
Doh! It looks like I jumped to a conclusion about Boortz being suspended. He's still in some deep doo-doo, but apparently, he was on vacation last week. WSB 750AM's traffic reporter, Herb Emory, apparently likes to quip about Boortz being suspended as a little inside joke.

(Wipes egg off face.)

My apologies to Boortz, WSB, and to any at DU whom I treated unfairly.

I was wrong, wrong, wrong about the suspension.

Boortz is still a dingleberry on the anus of Satan, however, and deserves to be held accountable for repeatedly humiliating a disabled nine-year-old boy on his nationally-syndicated program.

When I'm wrong, I'm wrong ... same goes for Boortz.

2. Look...
...he's a lawyer, he's an Aggie and he spent a lot of his youth in Texas.

So, what else is there to know?

That being said, his show is very popular in southern states. That's an important demographic that tends to decide presidential elections.

9. Except that he just brought the underlying story to the attention of thousands,
something my little blog could never have done. I wish I were clever enough to have planned it that way...

14. You took the word of two of your readers.
Yesterday you told us, "By last Friday, I was hoping he'd been suspended, and sure enough, two of my readers said that his substitute and the WSB 750AM traffic reporter had referred to the suspension on air."

Don't they deserve some of the blame?

15. Could very well be that he was "asked" to take his vacation this week.
And, regardless, that lawsuit from the family has not gone away, I assume.
