Bloviating Bill Cunningham

I did not have a subject for today until I read this: McCain Rebukes Cunningham The question of the day is why would anybody allow this jackass to speak on their behalf? If everyone in the country didn’t already think we are a bunch of bigoted back woods yahoos, they sure do now. Bill has single-handedly set the city of Cincinnati back thirty years. Mean spirited racist demagoguery has no place in the political dialogue of Cincinnati. Just because bloviating Bill is allowed to spew his particular brand of stupidity on Clear Channnel doesn’t mean he should be allowed out without a leash to spew it at the public. I fault those would give him the podium from which to spew it. I am sure that John McCain was very unpleasantly surprised to see what Cincinnati had done for him.

And I am astounded to read this, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said, “Cunningham's comments were not surprising. Bill does this kind of thing a lot at Republican events, and we're used to hearing it.''

What? You’re used to it? You expected him to spew like this? Shame on you!

Now I understand free speech and all, but there comes a time and a place when someone needs to take a stand. If the Republican party had not given bloviating Bill the podium, he would not have had the opportunity to embarrass all of us in the national spotlight. Bill’s listeners obviously enjoy his brand of stupidity, let’s confine Bill to those who actually choose to listen to him.

More Annoyed than Normal because a jackass like Bill Cunningham can actually find an audience.
