Sorry Russ, whilst we agree on the sentiments, I have got to completely disagree with you here about Howard Stern.
Howard Stern and whoever this no-name pillock is are in utterly different leagues. Stern would never have pulled something like that, and if he had it would have been done with panache rather than resorting to blatant racist taunts.
I've listened to so much Stern now to be able to speak with some conviction on the subject. He's rude, obnoxious and offensive - but he's clever. And funny. That's why Stern is the biggest name in radio and we don't even know the name of this dweeb from Philadelphia.
