I've blogged about Michael Weiner (aka Savage) before. He's the guy who played a song by the Dead Kennedy's when it was announced that Ted Kennedy had a brain tumor.
His latest case of verbal diarrhea came last week when he said that autism is "[a] fraud, a racket." Savage went on to say, "I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron..."
He has since stood by his comments. What was it he said about acting like a moron?
I was going to let this pass because shock jocks thrive when people pay attention to them. Any press is good press. But now it is looking like he really stepped in it. The main stream media has finally picked up on this story, thanks mostly to Media Matters breaking the story originally. And now, Mr. Weiner is starting to take a hit in the wallet. His show is being cancelled by many stations across the country and my gut tells me this is only the beginning. This time next week you can put a fork in the Weiner.
