Right-winger Jay Severin gets banned from MSNBC

[wicket]

LOL!!!!

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/msnbc/situation_severs_ties_with_severin_23685.asp

Jay Severin is off MSNBC's 'Situation with Tucker Carlson.' Sunday's Page Six makes it sound like Severin wanted to leave: Their sources say he "didn't enjoy the commute from his home in Sag Harbor to the TV show's studio in New Jersey."

But the suggestion that leaving the Situation was Severin's decision is a "complete absolute lie," an insider tells TVNewser. In fact, he's been banned from the network: "You won't see him on MSNBC again," the source says. (And based on Severin's actions in Secaucus, "we were shocked to read in Page Six that he has a wife and daughter," the insider adds...)

:rofl:

1. I don't get it.

I'm glad to hear that he's gone (though I won't watch MSNBC, CNN or FAUX), but what does his wife and daughter have to do with it??

[crispini]

2. The article is implying he was sexually harassing someone... nt

[wicket]

4. apparently he wasn't faithful

According to the article any way... Typical right-wing repug family values.

3. Hooray. I have listened to him here in MA on 96.9 fm. They guy is a real

sexual sicko imo. I called into his show a few times tell him off and did a pretty good job at it, if I say so myself. I took a lot of pride in that. They guy deserves no audience. New Englands best and brightest my ass!

[chemp]

5. I always thought

his everly sexual comments towards women was a cover.
Constant flirting and bragging of exploits that is really no one elses business is a sure sign of covering up the exact opposite.

My guess was that he was gay. Still do. Seems like the self loathing type.

24. I did a google search on his name

and turned up this picture.

Is this Jay Severin on the left side?

(the pic is big so I didn't load it up here)

6. New England's best and brightest, it's typical GOP radio bullshit

Just like Rush and Hannity always talking about their listeners being the most informed, and brightest and all that. It's only done becuase dumbshits respond to it so well, tell them how smart they are, and then tell them what to think.

And Severin's an asshole.

[Ravenseye]

7. When I lived up there I knew a TON of listeners

and not a single one agreed with the shit he spewed. He's a shock jock in a way. I knew a ton of people who would listen to him in their cars primarily just to hear what stupid stuff he would say, and get them riled up.

I'd be curious exactly what percentage of his ratings audience is one of people screaming at the radio when he says stupid things.

[boston bean]

9. i believe you are correct. n/t

[wicket]

8. Howdy neighbor

I'm a fellow Bostonian- his radio show is such crap. If I get into a cab and they have him on, I ask them to either change the channel or turn it off.

[merbex]

22. Fellow MA resident here - if my kids hear him they immediately

scream "Turn the dial,he has the worst voice and what comes out of his mouth is awful"

[wicket]

26. awesome!

Your kids rock!!!! :D

[KC21304]

10. I wonder if he will still be on Imus, which is on MSNBC.

He was on last week.

[boston bean]

11. I heard Imus asking why he wasn't on tucker carlsons show anymore

and he said it was because of the commute. Imus said that was bullshit. but didn't press it. that was yesterday I think.

[gatorboy]

12. Oh well. He always has a home at Fox, I'm sure.

13. leaves humorless Air America host Rachel Maddow as the breakout star...

I like that line :)

I haven't really listened to Rachel Maddow.


The Situation's Jay Severin called Sen. Clinton "the devil"

Discussing former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-NY) appearance at a June 25 revival in New York City with evangelist Billy Graham, radio host Jay Severin described Sen. Clinton as "the devil."

From the June 27 edition of MSNBC's The Situation with Tucker Carlson, in a discussion that also included ESPN Radio host Max Kellerman:

CARLSON: Is Hillary Clinton -- is her presidency divinely ordained? It hasn't quite come to that, but the senator from New York did get a ringing endorsement from Billy Graham. At a rally Sunday in New York City, Senator Clinton and the former president sat on the stage while the 86-year-old evangelist recalled once saying that Bill Clinton should become an evangelist himself and "leave his wife to run the country." You think it was a joke? What were the Clintons doing at this rally? It brought me back -- I've never been a Hillary Clinton beater-upper, and I'm not a Hillary-hater. Her husband does bug me, though, for this reason: He's always running around being the holy-roller, Bible-thumper guy. That guy quoted Scripture more than any president in my lifetime, by far. And here he is at a Billy Graham rally. You know, enough.

<snip>

SEVERIN: The divine ordination would be tremendously novel, inasmuch as Hillary is the devil.

Media Matters for America has documented several of Severin's controversial statements,

including calling Sen. Clinton "the Antichrist" . He most recently called her "absolutely sociopathic" and "the Manchurian candidate."

14. Rachel is hilarious, just really smart and gets her facts straight

I'm sure that kind of humor goes right over some people's heads.

[boston bean]

16. I like her too, sometimes tucker doesn't know how to respond.

[converted_democrat]

30. I wish they would get rid of Tucker and just give Rachel her own show.n/t

15. Thanks for the links!

Lots of great info.

[wicket]

17. kick

:kick:

[jackster]

18. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!

Severin is an ass - pure and simple. Now, let's try to get him banned from Boston entirely. Do his listeners really believe he broadcasts from here?

[wicket]

20. Severin is such an ass

I know some people who listen to him- and they are certainly not fans, they just like to hear what crazy things he's got to say. Personally, I can't stomach him, his voice has the effect of nails on a chalkboard to me heh.

[ScamUSA.Com]

19. he's not a right winger tho

he calls himself a libertarian, but seems to be half conservative/half liberal

I'd consider him an independent thinker.

[jackster]

21. he claims to be libertarian

and I suppose you could call him an independent thinker, but that doesn't change the fact that he's mean and nasty, a probable closeted gay man who demeans women.

He's despicable!

[endarkenment]

28. LINO

There is nothing libertarian about him. He can find no fault with big government fascist republicanism. His 'libertarianism' is as phony as his single bay area swinger persona. it is all bullshit to suck in the gullible.

[wicket]

31. amen to that!

He is a complete phony.

[Enraged_Ape]

23. Jimmy Severino got banned?

That is, reportedly, his real name.

I guess he's ashamed of his Italian heritage, like maybe he thinks that people might think he's part of some mafia family or something. What his pea brain doesn't process is that it's much more embarrassing and humiliating to be a member of the Bush Crime Family, which is the worst, most repugnant gang of criminals this country has never known.

[wicket]

27. I didn't realize that was real name

personally I think "Severino" sounds a lot better than "Severin".

[drbtg1]

25. The problem with replacing Severin

Whenever Severin was on opposite Ms. Maddow, he'd spout off opinions (often getting Mr. Brock's attention), but would at least return enough courtesy to allow Ms. Maddow to talk. Every other right-winger on that show thinks they're on Fox and will overtalk Ms. Maddow at every opportunity, which also encourages Carlson to do the same.

It is only for this reason that I'll miss him. Now it will swiftly become "Crossfire Jr.".

[Justice]

29. He has a wife and daughter - I am shocked. He talks about

woman in digusting terms. Talks about them like Stern did and does, and look how well his marriage turned out. Jay would say that Rachel was beautiful, but that b/c she was a lesbian, he had to compete on the set with her.

[endarkenment]

32. Howard is pretty honest about his personal life.

When his marriage was fucked up that was pretty much all he talked about. He is quite clear about his current relationship as well: he loves to look at other women but he is devoted to his girlfriend. Severin on the other hand is a liar and a phoney.
