Hate Radio: Retreating Justice: On-air dork Jon Justice of Tucson

[Joanne98]

What's the latest from the Old Pueblo and the ongoing donnybrook between Isabel Garcia and those who've taken the Pima County Legal Defender to task for her hoisting the head of a Sheriff Joe piñata during an anti-Joe demo? Seems the idiot who made an issue of the non-issue in the first place, frat-boyish talk radio host Jon Justice of Tucson's 104.1 FM is now in some agua caliente himself over two YouTube videos he posted showing him caressing a life-sized Isabel Garcia piñata, telling his audience, "I want to take her home," while he pawed the piñata’s papier-mâché curves.

Justice obviously intended this latest stunt as humorous, saying he was going to make the Garcia piñata his show's mascot, and joking about how Garcia's form was really light because, "Chorizo's not that fattening." In other words, dumb, unfunny stuff that makes Dane Cook look like Bill Maher by comparison. Gotta wonder why so many people are still taking Justice's insincere gripes about Garcia seriously.

(BTW, Garcia didn't bash the Joe piñata, others did. Not that I would have blamed her if she'd beaten the crap out of that thing. You can read all about it in the current Bird column, which is up now.)

In any case, Jon Just-An-Ass has garnered some backlash because of these creepy vids of him and the Garcia doll. Derechos Humanos, the pro-immigrant human rights group Garcia co-chairs, has turned the tables on the wing-nutty doofus, calling 104.1 FM's sponsors and asking that they cut ties with the station. According to the Derechos Humanos Web site, some have, though Justice denies any advertisers have fled the coop. Either way, Derechos Humanos has effectively exploited Justice's self-inflicted wound. Now Justice has taken the videos of him feeling up the Garcia doll down.

One video was reposted to Metacafe, likely by a Garcia supporter, but it has since been removed by the site "due to copyright issues." Seems like Justice is even a bigger pantywaist than I expected.
