Go figure: John Dennis is not only still a racist, he doesn't see the hypocrisy of somebody who's had his weight problems criticizing somebody else's weight.
Via Bruce Allen, who notes the misogyny of that Minihane guy who's also on the show.

Witty, but your comment avoids the fact that there is no racism or hypocrisy there. Typical. It involves a non-liberal public figure, so throw it out there anyway. I get it.

"Take our country back" was practically Howard Dean's campaign slogan in '04. Hillary Clinton said it a bunch during her '08 campaign as well. Much like dissent is only patriotic when a Republican is president, "take our country back" is only hateful and inflammatory when Dems are running the show.

Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Pat Buchanan, George W. Bush all enjoyed the take our country back tour through the South and brought us the modern Southern centric GOP. Ask Thad Cochran how it works.

A white man just told us all that it wasn't racism or sexism. So, therefore, it can't possibly be anything of the sort. White men being the ultimate arbiters of what is and isn't racist or sexist, after all. The rest of the population isn't qualified to even consider it.

have nothing to do with SPORTS (you know, the supposed purpose of the show). The fact that 'EEI tolerates this stuff just shows how out of tune they are with their core mission.
And, sorry, but opinion polls are NOT facts and have no legitimate place in media reporting.
How is this any different than TMZ?

They have tons of jokes like the ones on the WEEI morning show, and I don't think anyone is claiming that WEEI is anything different than a local TMZ show.....
TMZ isn't local

And I'm very parochial that way. But in any case, just because TMZ does it (which I have no knowledge of, since I don't visit the site) doesn't make it right.
It is a larger social media trend though....

Joan Rivers is fucking hilarious. Everyone needs to watch the documentary about her ("A Piece of Work") on Netflix. She's a wonderful comedian.

" It’s lily whiteness vs. savage blackness. And if you don’t see that … if you think it’s merely a comparison between two individual women, well, you’re blind. Absolutely blind."
That is kind of incendiary in itself. It's a picture of two wives of Presidents. Being a wife doesn't make anyone an expert on anything. I just see a picture of two women that enhanced their own worth by being wives of Presidents. I read what I read , and eat what I eat, don't need advice from the such.

Boston sports-talk radio pretty much lost me forever at the latter end of the WEEI monopoly/ after the last couple Super Bowl losses by the Patriots- bitter fans/ hosts that blamed the team's loss on John Tomase and Spygate reporting proved that all they wanted was yahoo-level, school paper-level coverage of the local teams

Re: The First Lady's body...
By Andrew

I have never in my life seen the amount of vitriol spewed about a First Lady (other than Hillary) as I have about Michelle Obama. Every First Lady takes up a crusade. With Nancy Reagan, it was "Just Say No". Laura Bush touted greater literacy. The First Lady is right to take on the obesity crisis. And, her body is amazing. Why does every woman have to have the body of a 12 year old boy? There's something really wrong with that standard.
What I find breathtaking about the Right's 5 year long panic attack about the Obamas is it lays bare their hypocrisy. They have said for years family is the key to building a better black community. Barack and Michelle fit the bill of a great black family. The Right glosses over their accomplishments like they just showed up on the White House lawn one day and moved in. Individually, POTUS and FLOTUS are very accomplished. They are examples for not just black children, but all children.
Maybe Derek Bell was right. The longtime Harvard professor had a theory about how far this country would be willing to let black people go, how much it would allow us to achieve, I think his theory has been given new life by this sickening display.
