Prov.: Oldies 790; WPRO AM simulcast on 99.7

[Dan.Strassberg]

Maybe Cianci could move to a Boston station--AM drive on WRKO: Two
Live Felons. Which brings up Eliot Spitzer's next gig...

There is actually a very serious topic buried in the cynicism: Does
putting disgraced former elected officials on the air as talk hosts do
anything to restore the public's confidence in government? I'm not
asking the question frivolously.
