Morons in the midstRush is gone, but John Dennis and Gerry "Ku Klux" Callahan still have their morning talk show even after years of this shit: A prominent WEEI radio talk show host apologized on the air yesterday for comparing the escaped Franklin Park Zoo gorilla to a Metco student waiting for a bus. During Monday morning's Dennis & Callahan Show, host John Dennis reportedly said the animal, which rested briefly at a bus stop during the episode Sunday, was ''probably a Metco gorilla waiting for a bus to take him to Lexington.'' Responding to complaints, Dennis yesterday said the remark ''was extremely insensitive.'' WEEI program director Jason Wolfe said Dennis and the station also had apologized to school and Metco officials. The station also has offered Metco officials public service spots to talk about the program.For those of you unfamiliar with the program, Metco is a program which allows inner city youths to get an education out in the 'burbs. The program, which moves students based on merit out of under funded schools into the classrooms of neighboring communities that have volunteered to participate, hardly deserves the sort of affirmative-action laced hate rhetoric from these Poor Under-Privileged White Men. |
