I hate these two AM talk show jerks

Shannon and Stein-Longtime Companions?

Local Oklahoma City AM radio talk show host and assistant county assessor Larry Stein is normally just a strangely effeminate moron who occupies my commute to and from work. He, along with washed up FM DJ Mark Shannon, now host the vacuous and insulting Shannon and Stein Show from 6:00 am to 9:00 am on WKY radio (AM 930).

Stein acts as Shannon's little bitch during the morning assault on the senses that is filled with homophobia, bigotry, personal vendettas and other conservative Christian values. Normally the foppish Stein is just the human laugh track to Shannon's incredibly mean and vitriolic attacks on whatever minority, politician or person who has rankled the stereotypical mean old man (You kids stay outta my goddamn yard!!!) but today Stein was in rare form. He not only managed to mock a family of six who were killed in a house fire implying that they were too stupid to get out of the burning home and saying they were to blame for their own deaths but he and Shannon went on hang up on and insult an 87 year old lady who called in to rebuke them for their meanness.

I called in shortly after to ask them why they felt the need to mock, insult and pillory those who called in to disagree with them. They mumbled some incoherent nonsense. attacked me and then tried to rationalize what they had done. I then suggested that someone should come up to the radio station parking lot, meet Stein in person and "whip his puny ass". They hung up on me and then Stein, big brave boy that he is, said he carried a gun for just such incidents.

Here is a story about the "stupid" family who died:

Burglar bars kept family, neighbor from fleeing fire
By Susan Parrott
The Oklahoman

While flames engulfed the front entrance to their southeast Oklahoma City house Sunday morning, Connie Somers-Wilder called frantically for her children to run to the garage exit. Burglar bars prohibited escape through windows in the house.

“Where’s Daneel? Do you have Leisylle?” she screams on a tape of the 911 call to the fire department.

As she excitedly tells the dispatcher they are getting out of the house, she begins coughing and says she is choking. She then goes silent.

Firefighters found the family of five and a teenage neighbor dead in the garage, their path obstructed by suffocating smoke and a blocked door.

“We summarize it may have been blocked because they were in the process of moving and they were overcome,” fire Maj. Brian Stanaland said.

Dead are Oliver “Jack” and Connie Somers-Wilder, ages 63 and 48, respectively, and their children, Daneel, 19; Leisylle, 17; and Aimy, 12; and neighbor Kayla Hayes, 15.
Hayes, who had spent the night at the Somers-Wilder home, lived down the street.
Oklahoma City firefighters spent the day Monday sifting through the rubble at 5109 S Madera Terrace.

Stanaland said it is the city’s deadliest house fire, according to records. No cause has been determined, and investigators don’t know yet whether there were working smoke detectors in the home. The state medical examiner’s office reported the victims died of smoke inhalation.

1. I have the same problem here.
It's supposed to be a Insanity and Combes type format, which it really is because the left of center commentator is nothing but a whipping boy to the rabid conservative. those are the local guys, my drive to work is polluted by Lush Rimbaugh.
