Is it possible that a little R&R actually did Jay Severin some good? This is the man, you may recall, who belittled “ho-ho-homosexual marriage” by saying that a man could no more marry a man than he could marry a penguin. This is the man who, in an attempt to ridicule two callers named Dave and Jerry, joked that they had invented an ice cream flavor called “Chocolate Fudge Packer Pal.” And yet when I tuned in during the 6:00 hour of yesterday’s show, I heard Jay giving a vigorous argument against “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” on the grounds that everyone should be given an equal opportunity to serve in the military. Moreover, he was disagreeing with a woman who is currently serving! (“Thank you.”)
It’s as if Jay woke up and said “hey, wait a minute … my philosophy is libertarianism, not being a reactionary, conservative, power-to-the-powerful-white-male prick.”
It was probably just a fluke, but it was a pleasant surprise.

I dont think so. This is still the man who plays audio out of context to support his claims that Persident Obama is a Muslim. My opinion on why Jay has so much vitriol towards powerful politicos is that they are operators. Operators who have succesfully managed campaigns, held public office and so on. And Jay has failed at that. I honestly believe it all stems from jealousy. He hates that which he has failed to become. He’d support gay marriage, the bailouts and ending torture if he could once amount to what Rahm Emmanuel has, let alone Obama.
