tax rate for the wealthy, Howie was silent. If he were a Dem, Howie would be on the air and in newsprint screaming about having taxes increased (including himself who I imagine is in that top percentile)) on anyone. He once found a flyer on his SUV that was parked in his driveway asking him to rethink about the cost associated with owning a gas guzzler. These flyers were once blanketed on SUV's. Well, because the flyer was put on a car that was parked in his driveway, he went on the airways complaining how he felt "violated" by the action. His show went on an on how violated he was. He actually felt to use a term that is widely used when a woman his assaulted to describe having a flyer put on his car. So, your comparison to Rush is spot on. He went on and on about Clinton during his impeachment hearings but Howie did get an intern pregnant when she was an intern at the Herald. He explained it on the air as something like I did the right thing and married her. As you can tell I use to listen to his radio show. I once laughed when I read something he wrote in a column that was exactly something a caller had said on his radio show the previous week without ever mentioning that fact in the column so it would seem that Howie had an original thought in the column.

But you are right to give him some due. With Opening Day approaching he use to go live to Fenway Park on Opening Day and look for state and federal workers, mostly pols, and ask them if they were done working for the day as they entered the park. Now that stuff was pretty funny, because it was all done in fun.
