Various other talk hosts have called public figures fat, including
Howie Carr with Ted K.("fatboy" nickname). Al Franken even made it a
point to include the
word in the title of one of his books, with reference to Limbaugh.

Savage was benched briefly by 'RKO after the MSNBC incident.

Consider that WRKO has to be careful it doesn't offend its listeners,
_sponsors_,
and the likes of the Red Sox (big bucks paid for longterm contract/big
ratings expected) and Celtics. But yes you wonder if there's a double standard.

Hire a controversial talk host! Ooh boy, what's he gonna say today--he
said WHAT?
Uh oh (i.e., hey,  you play with fire and you might get burned...)
