whats with people calling in to washington journal about howard stern?

[Razoor]

I counted 2 people who called in to the washington journal and saying something about howard stern and hanging up?

the first caller said simply howard stern and then a expletive which I wont repeat

and then the second caller said baba bouy or something like that the famouse phrase for howard stern and howard stern and hung up?

did howard stern orgainze a call into washington journal or something or does washington journal get prank calls from time to time?

1. By speaking out against the Boy King, Howard has made a bunch of wingnut

enemies.

I would imagine these callers were of that lot. ;-)

2. Howard has a large following that may sink junior this fall

The freepers are getting nervous and when they get nervous they get nasty.

3. People have called talk shows for years, just to mention

Howard Stern's name. This is a big joke for his fans, they enjoy seeing if they get Howard's name on the air. I don't think it has anything to do with Howard's political stance, or with Washington Journal specifically. It's just a practical joke.

4. Since Howard's being Persecuted by the FCC they've just moved to CSPAN

Larry King used to endure Stern callers,WIP,WFAN, all the great radio call in shows...the best was a guy slipped past Flush Limberger's:hurts: screener.

His Rotundity sputtered: "We won't have any of that on the EIB network!". The guy gives "Pussy Boy" a bad name:puke:
