Loud-mouthed New York blowhard gets Boston radio gig

By adamg on Mon, 09/29/2008 - 4:46pm

The Herald reports that WTKK has hired Curtis Sliwa to do a three-hour call-in show starting Wednesday night.

Hey, whatever happened to all those Guardian Angels that were supposed to be keeping the Orange Line safe?

In any case, a station mouthpiece read from a script:

We think Curtis will be a huge hit and add a live and local spark to talk radio in New England.

Yes, a real local spark from 200 miles away. Maybe he can commute with Jay Severin. Oh, look, you can already watch him complain about the Cheese Man and make fun of people with Hispanic names. Give me the Guy from Boston any day.

I confess I listen to 96.9 occasionally, but I've listened to Curtis Sliwa before and he just loves to toot his own horn. Yeah, I did this, this and this in New York, this guy's a scumbag, yada yada yada. Feh.

Sometimes Jay's good and bad, but when he's bad, it's usually time to turn on Toucher and Rich to see what they're doing to poor Adolfo.

Say what you will but Laura Ingraham was at least intelligent. Sliwa makes Howie Carr look like the Algonquin Roundtable.

I could listen to her without pulling out all my hair. But yes, Sliwa doesn't agree with me one bit.
