The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend
I have a confession to make: I listen to Bubba in the morning.
NPR gets depressing. Sometimes they ramble about the weather or traffic and so I browse through radio stations and often find myself at 102.5 The Bone.
Yes, The Bone.
I can't quite believe it myself. With a name like that, can you tell they are trying to attract a certain audience? Makes me want to start a radio station and call it The Labia.
I listen to Bubba and wonder if I'm the only self-professed liberal thinker and feminist in town who's tuned in. I doubt it. But I bet I'm the only one who'll admit to liking what I hear. Most of the time.
Lately Bubba's been going after Todd Schnitt, a ridiculous little man who airs his nonsense on a competing radio station in the morning under the name "MJ". This same man then gets behind the mic every afternoon for The Schnitt Show. I've never heard the morning program. NPR, Bubba and cursing at elderly drivers take up all my time.
I have, on occasion, listened to the afternoon program.
Todd Schnitt is an angry assbag, ranting and raving about liberals and spreading lies about Barack Obama. Why is a broadcaster who makes millions so angry? At first, I thought maybe it was act. He's simply catering to the lowest common denominator. Like most so-called libertarian broadcasters, he pretends to be bold while behind the scenes he's content to run his tongue around the rim of the Republican asses who write his paychecks.
Schnitt doesn't require his listeners to think or argue logically, so he just feeds into their nonsense, assuring he stays relevant and continues drawing a paycheck. I didn't think he actually believed the rhetoric that oozed out of his mouth on a daily basis.
Now I'm not so sure. Bubba's been talking to "Jabberjaw", a former employee of the MJ Morning Show. She describes a tiny turd who wields his power like a prick in need of Viagra. Megalomaniac. Narcissistic. A wealthy man who pays his employees next to nothing in salary or benefits and then threatens to fire some of them if Barack Obama gets elected because he won't be able to afford them. Sounds like your typical Napoleonic tyrant/Republican to me.
He fired Jabberjaw for attending the Obama rally last week.
Isn't it time we got rid of angry pundits like Schnitt who add nothing to the discourse in a community? He pisses his poison in every direction, both in his personal life and on the air, and I, for one, am sick of swimming in it.
Get him the f*ck off the air. Now.

I used to listen to the MJ morningshow when I first got here in '99. Then I discovered NPR in 2001 and that is what i have listened too. I also tuned into Schnitt's show in the afternoon, by accident the first time....I realized he was a right wing, ass kisser, so I tuned out...fast.
All he ever did was talk about his wife and kid and make fun of the weapon inspectors..saying they couldn't find their ass from a hole in the ground. Well, after 7 years, I wonder who feels like the ass now.
No matter if you agree or not, its called freedom of speech. Turn the dial I guess. He must be getting folks to listen, he has a job.
It's not a freedom of speech issue. I'm not the government and I'm not advocating the government come in and shut him down.
This is what I'm suggesting - people stop listening to garbage like MJ and then he'll be yanked off the air and maybe we'll get better options. Turning the dial.
And I hope Jabberjaw sues his ass for firing her over something so ridiculous.
great post kate, thanks
I won a pick your plastic procedure from the little imp. Because a hurricane was hitting the bay area, I was unable to attend the procedure. The doctor brought religion into the matter, and 93.3 offered now assistance in remedying the matter. In fact, they won't even call me back. MJ was an ass on the radio, like normal, on the day I won the procedure... he really does think he is all that... when in fact he is a mere molecule of nothingness in the grand scheme.
It's funny about the "new" Bubba. He's not nearly the same asshole he was when he left the terrestrial market.
I tuned in when he came back to see what was up. And found myself going back most every morning. He went a little nuts with the Lunsford stuff. But aside from that the show was entertaining and sometimes actually enlightening.
But now I'm in San Antonio (TX, not FL), and morning radio is basically a Hispanic guy who does voices and, well, uh... my iPhone.
