First couple of hours today were interesting - Howard says he wants out, he came to the realization that it's a fight he can't win, he can't do the show anymore like he wants to and he doesn't want to turn into Lenny Bruce and bore his listeners with political bullshit. He also says he's scared, he doesn't want to wage a war against Bush and the religious wackos and wind up hunted down by them or the government to fuck his life up. Which they will if he continues to bash Bush and instruct his listeners to vote for Kerry - he says he doesn't like Kerry any better, the FCC under Clinton was no picnic either.
So he says he's ready to go to satellite radio and he's now thinking about turning howardstern.com into something.
He's got a source in the FCC who's keeping him informed on what's going down. They're now fighting amongst each other over whether to shut him down now or wait until after the election. If they shut him down now they risk turning him into a martyr and whipping alot of his fans into a frenzy and voting against Bush. I agree with them.
If this election is close like the last one, a couple million Stern fans could really tip the election to Kerry. If this was 10 years ago he could do it no problem, Howard's not as popular as he was back then - but i still think he could get a million non-voter fans to do what he says this time.

There is no one at the FCC "fighting amongst each other over whether to shut him down now or wait until after the election"
all but the top guy are career beaurocrats who don't care who wins the election, not political appointies.
Howard doesn't have a source, its drama.
hanging out here, you should recognize drama when you see it.
