Severin suspended for comments about Mexican immigrants

[YankeyMCC]

Heidi Raphael, a spokeswoman for the station, said Severin had been suspended indefinitely from his afternoon drive-time show. She declined to say which of his comments - made since an outbreak of swine flu was linked to Mexico in recent days - sparked the suspension.

"I can assure you that the station has not been using the remarks for which he has been suspended in on-air promos," she said, declining to comment further.

In one of his broadcasts this week, Severin said: "So now, in addition to venereal disease and the other leading exports of Mexico - women with mustaches and VD - now we have swine flu."

Later, he described Mexicans as "the world's lowest of primitives."

1. Good news, but he'll try to spin it

Garbage in, garbage out. Severin should be kicked off the air permanently, not just for inflammatory racial remarks but for being a smug asshole with nothing of value to add to any discussion.

However I'm sure he will try to make hay of this, and whine piteously about "liberal PC police" trying to "suppress my First Amendment rights." When allowed back on the air he will crow about how "they tried to shut me up but I'm back now" with the usual infantile drivel we expect from these right-wing bullshit smear artists - all of whom are maybe five years old, mentally.
