Jay Severin to return to the airwaves; promises to stop saying hurtful things

Dan Kennedy reports on Jimmy Severino's return.

Jay Severin goes too far: Kicked off the air for cracks about Mexicans

adamg — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:43:00 +0000

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:

... For Severin, Mexicans are "criminaliens" and primitives who export venereal diseases to the United States. The shock jock referred to the strain of flu as "swine-aka-Janet Napolitano flu."

That's not the end of Severin's anti-immigrant rants. Immigrants are leeches and their children, he warns, don't speak English, will retard schools, add to crime and spread disease. Amid all of this, Severin has the audacity to state, "I don't mean to hype the story." ...

El Diario La Prensa details his comments even more in this post in Spanish - basically, Severin said it's not Mexicans' fault they're wild, uneducated savages who don't get their kids vaccinated, he's only stating the facts, and one of those facts is that those kids who got the flu in New York got it from illegal Mexicans.

Red Mass Group is streaming Michael Graham's campaign training event live.

Jimmy Severino is a tad touchy

Did Imus really threaten to gun him down in cold blood? Good for ratings, if nothing else.

Jim Braude doesn't need a car to be a Masshole

adamg — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 23:50:49 +0000

Anne reports on a Braude sighting in Central Square yesterday:

Walking around Central Square this morning, saw Jim Braude illegally cross Mass Ave and hold up several cars that had the right of way. What was worse was that he was limping, causing him to walk even more slowly than usual, so a couple of cars didn't make the light thanks to him. ...

Earlier:
Braude almost causes international incident; nearly gets shot by Secret Service.

WTKK host tossed in the pokey on traffic charges

adamg — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 20:44:27 +0000

Michael Graham charged with running red light, driving with a revoked license in Framingham, according to Jessica Heslam, who also posts Graham's statement on how it's all Rachel Kaprelian's fault, because under her command, the Registry no longer sends out notices of revocation, and he didn't know.

Innocent, etc.

Why you should listen to Michael Graham this morning

Radiothon to support construction of a place for wounded veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan in West Roxbury.

Jim Braude, ultimate Masshole

adamg — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:53:46 +0000

How many Massholes can truthfully state they almost caused an international incident - and almost got taken out by a Secret Service sniper protecting the life of the British prime minister? Not content to merely be living the dream, Braude is, of course, contesting the ticket he got.

A Little Known Latino History Fact on Sonia Chang-Diaz

Williams35 — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 22:42:16 +0000

Whether Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner likes it or dislikes it,
Latina American, Sonia Chang-Diaz, is running for the Massachusetts State Senate seat of the 2nd Suffolk District. Sonia could be the first ever Latina to be elected office to the State Senate of the 2nd Suffolk District when she faces current “and outgoing” State Massachusetts Senator, Dianne Wilkerson. Polls are looking good so far for Sonia Chang-Diaz who could make history for the Latino Community and Non-Latino Communities of the 2nd Suffolk District of Boston and Chelsea.

WTKK's Michele McPhee defends Sonia-Chang Diaz

Williams35 — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:24:15 +0000

Sonia Chang-Diaz, could be on her way as the first Latina-American to become a state senator, representing the 2nd Suffolk District of Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain, Mission Hill and others.

Meanwhile, Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner (African-American) blasted the "Soon-To-Be" first ever Latina on her way to becoming the next State Senator; calling Chang-Diaz "A Non-Latina" with no kind of Latino blood background in her whatsoever.

Loud-mouthed New York blowhard gets Boston radio gig

adamg — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:46:10 +0000

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.

It's not April 1, so it must be true

adamg — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:53:45 +0000

Menino and McPhee, every Monday at 7 p.m. on WTKK, starting tonight.
