Howie Carr on the WBUR mess

[tony schinella]

His "friend" Christopher Lydon? Howie Carr hates 
Lydon. He even used to talk in a Brahmin, uppity 
voice, making fun of him. When he found out how 
much Lydon was making during the spat that got him 
fired, Carr was relentless against him. When Lydon 
tried to move to commercial radio - and scoffed at 
the pay - Carr joked, "Welcome to the real world, 
Chris-tah-fur ..."

Best,
