Howie Carr should Resign from The Boston Herald
Donald Rumsfeld ain't the only one with a reason to walk out the door. Pat Purcell and The Boston Herald
are rubbing Howie Carr's nose in the Mike Barnicle situation.
And now the press is yapping about it. See Mark Shneyder's excellent Boston Radio column:
http://commons.somewhere.com/bostonrw/2004/Boston.Radio.Watch.--.05.html
The usually very reserved Boston Phoenix columnist Dan Kennedy even stepped down inside the toxic waste to accurately report:
"But if this is to be a battle of the snakes, my snake is Howie. Scales down." Eeeek. Now that's slime!
As ugly as Mike Barnicle's sins are, has the disgraced ex-Globe
columnist ever blamed "Towel Heads" for the crimes of Timothy McVie? Probably not. Making up stories is hardly as bad as going
on a 50,000 watt station and blaming an entire race for a horror
show that McVie has since been "put down" for like a rabid dog.
Inaccurate reporting is one thing, but blatant racism on the scale of WTKK host Jay Severin wanting to kill Muslims is another. WTKK, by the way, is known in radio circles as WKKK - as in Ku Klux Klan.
It is funny hearing Howie Carr put his foot in his mouth - as when he told one of the biggest stars in radio history - Diana Ross -
that his favorite record by "her" was "Stoned Love." Talk about
rubbing it in someone's face - the Jean Terrell version of The Supremes had four hit records in 1970 while Diana had only two -
though they both hit #1 on the R & B charts - Diana with "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and The Supremes with Terrell singing - Howie's favorite - "Stoned Love." Nothing like hitting the weak
spot of a special guest!
Howie's got the RKO paycheck and he seems entrenched...or maybe after his second marriage the better word is ...embedded...in there. Hey, so Barnicle sleeps with a banker and Howie slept with the chick in the advertising department (who also worked for Jay Severin's radio group...birds of a feather) - leaving the mother of his kids for some gal who was allegedly friends with
Janet E. Jeghelian http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/alsorun.asp?CID=N00000237&cycle=2002
But as Howie Carr turns his rage inward, into depression (to quote Tony Soprano's shrink playing in the background), maybe it is time Howie cut his ties with the Herald?
Anyone with an ounce of integrity (and who already has a safety
net in place) would walk out with their head held high. But you
can bet that Howie Carr won't walk. Integrity ain't in the vocabulary of a man with the worst diction on Boston Radio (this side of Margery Eagen)...stay tuned !

Hey Howie Carr:
How much is the Republican National Committee paying
you and Pat Whitley to support atrocities?
The moron who stole the presidency still hasn't found
osama bin laden, and if he does, it will be a day late
and a dollar short.
Drop Howie Carr, Jay Severin, Pat Whitley and Virgin
Boy over Iraq, have Ted Sarandis drive the plane.
Oh - they are too busy stuffing their faces to
actually go and fight this "war" that they have been
endorsing.
Go figure.
