and it's as true at a propaganda ministry as it is elsewhere. What will likely happen next is that local stations will start dropping Fatso. When enough of them have dropped the show because playing organ music during all the dead air does nothing for their bottom line, the lawyers will miraculously find an "out" that saves CC the balance of his contract payments while allowing him to go right to Sirius, which seems to be the dumping ground for misbehaving shock jocks.

It's over. It's just going to happen in a slow fizzle instead of a bang unless he flames out while he's on the air. He's fragile enough to do just that, too.
