Neal Boortz: McKinney Looks Like Ghetto Slut

From Media Matters:

On the March 31 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, Neal Boortz said that Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) "looks like a ghetto slut." Boortz was commenting on a March 29 incident in which McKinney allegedly struck a police officer at a Capitol Hill security checkpoint. Boortz said that McKinney's "new hair-do" makes her look "like a ghetto slut," like "an explosion at a Brillo pad factory," like "Tina Turner peeing on an electric fence," and like "a shih tzu." McKinney is the first African-American woman elected to Congress from Georgia.

Boortz also posted the following on his website:

OK, Now I've seen Cynthia McKinney's new hairstyle. There is just no other way to say this. It's just hideous. She looks like ghetto trash. Get a braider over there ... quick! Nobody with a modicum of self-respect would go around looking like that. And don't give me any stuff for saying this. I've endured years of "bald" remarks. I'm entitled.

You can see a list of Boortzisms below the fold. But first, take a look at some of his more colorful comments. Here's my favorite:

If we are faced with disaster in this country -- let me ask you this, OK? You just be logical. Get all of the emotion out of this. Get all of the emotion out of this. But if we are faced with a disaster in this country, which group do we want to save? The rich or the poor? Now, if you have time, save as many people as you can. But if you have to set some priorities, where do you go? The rich or the poor? OK? Who is a drag on society? The rich or the poor? Who provide the jobs out there? The rich or the poor? Who fuels -- you know, which group fuels our economy? Drives industry? The rich or the poor?

Given his opinion of the ghetto, I'm guessing he wants to save the rich people. And Hispanics? They should be stuffed in the Superdome before we send them back to Mexico. Who are this guy's sponsors?

he's worse than a wingnut.  He's just spews hateful, sophomoric, bile onto America's airwaves everyday.  

How anyone is willing to associate their company and their products with this stuff is just beyond me.

I sometimes listen to talk radio -- and we don't have Air America here, so that means Boortz, Rush and Hannity.  Boortz is absolutely the meanest of the three.  He even insults supporters who call his show.  I wonder how his listeners put up with him, then I think of how long Rush (who is incoherent most of the time) has been on the air.  The mind reels.

The remarks about McKinney are awful, but I doubt they are out of the ordinary for this man.  And a lot of his listeners eat this stuff up.  Good for you for drawing attention to this kind of broadcast smut.  There needs to be a big enough stink to make people ashamed to listen to Boortz and his ilk.  Or at least ashamed to admit it.

She Who Must Be Obeyed comes from Rumpole of the Bailey -- I forget who wrote the books, but the PBS series was/is delightful. ShWoMBO (the usual "pronunciation" by fans) is Rumpole's sobriquet for his own wife.

And I think even the folks in Alabamastan are familiar with what NIMBY means -- it's where I don't want this guy anywhere near on my radio...

John Mortimer wrote the books.  The late Leo McKern was wonderful in the starring role.  A stellar example of civilized discourse far above the gutter Neil Boortz wallows in.

At least half of these "boortzisms" are taken from other media or have been around as slang for years. He's just another jerk playing tough guy for dollars. Like Rush, he riles up the idiots and parlays their pathetic fanboyism into income. Nothing new here, once you've accepted the staggering number of sadass lonesome morons that swagger in dead-end bars and white power conclaves while Boortz and the rest of the Rush wannabes massage their prostates while picking their pockets. Attention need not be paid.

So why doesn't the FCC hand out fines for this asshole's brand of obscenity? How is a glimpse of tit more offensive than gallons upon gallons of racist, sexist bile?

Wow that guys pretty pathetic. He has the ability to enrage that is for sure.
