Will sue WRKO if he doesn't get his job back, but in exchange for his job, willing to undergo sensitivity training and give Grace Ross an hour a week on the air.
Seems the woman who fired DePetro for calling Ross a "fat lesbian" had argued a couple years ago that it was perfectly acceptable to call Hillary Clinton a "fat bitch".
The Herald's Greg Gatlin reports the radio station says nuh-uh:
Carpundit has had enough of the Herald's endless series on the guy with the stapled stomach:
Enough with the stupid fat guy ... Shut up and go away already.
'Derogatory' quip gets talk jock DePetro fired.
Hub Politics doesn't get what the fuss is about, because what's wrong with calling a fat lesbian a fat lesbian?
Yeah, no worse than calling the Margolis brothers a couple of short Jews. It's true, right?
Dan Kennedy wonders why DePetro was axed when Howie Carr's been snickering about gays and overweight people for years:
John DePetro has 72 hours to sit in a corner for calling Matt Amorello a fag and a sissy boy.
David on Blue Mass Group: Hey, guess what John? You're an asshole. And no one can suspend me for saying so.
Aaron Margolis begs to differ:
... Shame on WRKO for caving in, and having such a spineless policy. Go screw, you bunch of sissies. ...
