      One of the ugliest men in America giving beauty tips....Awesome.
      Hey, maybe Boortz is a cross dresser and knows a lot about panty lines. Either way another well done job of top notch journalism.

      He's right. A little brutal, but he's right.

      Boortz even admits that "All men are pigs, no exceptions."

        I don't believe one is ever [in the] right when they use a nationally synidcated broadcast to mock a teen-aged girl. "Pigs" doesn't sum it up. You and I would be "pigs" for saying this while sitting in a bar. Singling out a 16 year old girl and mocking her on your nationally syndicated show reaches a level of scumbaggery that you and I simply lack the TECHNOLOGY (or the inclination, speaking for myself) to compete with.

          Would the reaction have been the same if she had the body of, say... a Maxim magazine model?

            His? Well yeah: He probably would have been complimentary.

            MINE, regarding his? Why would it? Why should a million dollar, nationally syndicated, ostensibiliy political/news oriented talk show spend ANY of its time publiclly humiliated a teenaged girl (or boy forthat matter?) It's one thing to lampoon celeb's. That goes with the territory, and they also get the fame and fortune tat goes along with it. But some girl from nowhere should get publicly humilated becasue some jack-hole took the equivalent of an up-skirt picture of her, and the year book editors and school admin's weren't cempetant enough to catch the obviously inappropriate photo?! She's the victim here, whether she's conventionally attractive of not. WHat happend to the conservatives claim that they stood for decency?! This behavior is utterly shameful no matter how you slice it, and all conservatives should be embarrassed by the episode from Boortz. What if that was YOUR sister, or daughter?!

        Nice to see compassion and empathy in a young guy.

        What if it was your sister and mother he was talking about?

      Is there some context to this story that I'm missing. What the hell is he talking about?

        I can't see the vid, but I think it's this. Apparently Boorts think thank humiliating a teenaged girl is not only justified on the poart of her classmates, but figure he'd use his national show to get in on the act, the scumbag.

      It's the "White House dog" thing all over again: conservative men who make hateful remarks about women's appearances are invariably the ugliest men imaginable.
      And let's try not to read too much into how Boortz objects to a teenager being insufficiently attractive for his liking.

        YES! Absoluitely right! I can't think of a better example of "scumbaggery" than what Boortz in doing here, and what Limbaugh did in '92. In a way though Boortz is even worse. Chelsea was a public figure. As despicable as Limbaughs comments were, she was already in the spotlight for better or worse. There is no reason THIS GIRL needed to be humiliated on a national level.

      From Wikipedia:

      On the air and on his website (boortz.com) Boortz admonishes, "Don't believe anything you read on this web page or, for that matter, anything you hear on The Neal Boortz Show unless it is consistent with what you already know to be true, or unless you have taken the time to research the matter to prove its accuracy to your own satisfaction." On numerous occasions, Boortz has cautioned his listeners to take no heed nor place any credence in anything he says, as he is merely an "entertainer."

      Yeah... and a scumbag. Wow. Millions of dolllars a year to spout BS. I could SO DO that job!

        You'd either have to give up your soul or spend those millions on soap trying to get clean again after every show.
