LaPierre on the loose...on the beach?

[Shawn Mamros]

A summary for those who haven't read the article: Gary is hosting the
WBZ morning news this week from his home... in Florida.  Neither he
nor 'BZ is making any mention of that fact OTA.

>I haven't really decided, yet, whether this is being made into too big
>of a deal, or too little.

About the only drawback I can see is that, if 'BZ's backup tower crashes
down into the building, he won't know about it right away. ;-)

Short of that, does it really matter where his physical location is?
With technology being what it is, he could even have the view from outside
the windows in Allston piped to his living room, if he wants it.  No, he
won't feel the actual cold this week, but it's not like he's never
experienced a New England winter before...

The only "issue" that someone might take is the notion that listeners
are somehow being "deceived" by no mention being made of Gary's current
whereabouts.  Perhaps I'd feel differently if they were just bringing
on some remote announcer who's never even been to Boston, but that's not
what's happening here.
