That crashing sound? Oh, that’s the scales falling from the eyes of Howard Stern.

Quoted from a post earlier this month at The Minority Report BLOG, with slight editing:

Sirius Satellite Radio host Howard Stern supports the merger of his network with XM Satelitte Radio and is fuming at Democratic opposition on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) panel.

After FCC commissioners announced they have reached a deal to approve the merger of Sirius and XM, Stern ranted about Democrats’ ‘gangsterism’ and ‘communism’ and the obstacles to the merger.  Stern described a phone conversation he had with his agent, who he described as a “liberal Democrat kind of guy.”

“That’s it!  You know what Don, I’ve voted Republican and I’ve voted Democrat.  I have vowed I will never vote for a Democrat again.  I don’t give a [expletive] – no matter who they are.  I don’t care if God becomes a Democrat.  I backed Hillary Clinton, I backed Al Gore, I backed John Kerry.  I am done with them.”, Stern said.

 Stern took it a step even further and called Democrats on the FCC “communists” and referred to their tactics as “gangsterism.”

“The fact [is] that these Democrats on the FCC are communists,” Stern said.  “They’re for communism.  They don’t want to see companies – this is gangsterism.  This is crazy.”

I’m sure that Hillary, in the run-up to the 2016 elections, will feel this defection acutely.  NOT!
