WTTK has shown Jay Severin the door, this time for good.
Jay Severin
The Globe reports WTKK suspended Jimmy Severino today for saying something awful about Mexicans and swine flu this week. Exactly what, however, the Globe doesn't say Globe posts some audio. Down in New York, El Diario La Prensa fills in that gap:
Did Imus really threaten to gun him down in cold blood? Good for ratings, if nothing else.
"My job, with your help, is to start today, or recommit today, with 29 days left in this campaign, to politically destroy Barack Obama. Our job is to undermine him in every possible legal way, to undermine his upcoming administration in advance, to destroy his ability to reach any governing majority, undermine and destroy his political ability to govern or to have any hope of a successful administration.
We must do this because a Successful Barack Obama administration equals socialism, our government being soft on terrorism, the UN running the defense of our country, our doom as a nation."

That's the word on the street, but heavens, don't tell anybody because it's all supposed to be a secret:
Dan Kennedy says bad news for gabby Howie Carr on WRKO.
Radio Equalizer reminds us of Jimmy Severino's, um, Jay Severin's past fun with the truth.
On The Son Always Rises, Margaret reports she gave a cabbie a lousy tip because he subjectd her to 20 minutes of Jay Severin on the radio.
The Herald reports that WTKK has replaced non-Pulitzer-winning talk-show host Jay Severin with Michael Graham. Or, as Dan puts it:
WTKK Radio (96.9 FM) has replaced trash-talking, Muslim-bashing afternoon-drive-time host Jay Severin with trash-talking, Muslim-bashing afternoon-drive-time host Michael Graham.
Michael himself puts it this way:
Oh, sorry, he calls himself Jay Severin III now. In any case, Dan finds it odd that the Globe hasn't written about the disappearance of the WTKK blabmeister after columnist Scott Lehigh broke the news that Severin doesn't actually have a Pulitzer.
Bonus fun link: Heavy-duty rightwingers don't much cotton to Severin.
After he got called on his online "Pulitzer," WTKK mouth Jay Severin backtracked and said he'd won an award that was just like a Pulitzer. Dan shows even that is a stretch. Handy tool, that LexisNexis.
