Knew There Was Something About "VB"

For those who live in the Boston area may watch the morning news, like I do, before jamming off to work to be sure about the weather and traffic...if you flip through Fox25 morning news, you are then familiar with Doug "VB" Goudie, who apparently worked for Howie Carr on his radio program - and later had his own radio talk show, called "The Pit With VB".

Well, as those intrepid watchers of Fox25 also know, he's a right-wing hack...and, apparently, started shit on the first day of his teevee gig, where it just works differently than radio...just look at his full-throated endorcement of Sarah Palin as McCain's VEEP as an example...there's not even a lefty "balance" (a'la CNN)

Well, from his Howie Carr days, for those Catholics out there I thought I'd put this out on the street...it may have been a throwaway line but it sure stinks in print:

Boston, MA – Complaining about a decision not to sell beer during a Good Friday baseball game at Fenway Park, Doug Goudie, producer of "The Howie Carr Show" on WRKO Radio, asked, "Why don’t they sell Catholic Eucharists instead, maybe for $3.49 each?" When Carr suggested, sarcastically, that the remark was disrespectful, Goudie replied, "I don’t have any respect for all of that." Carr then invited listeners to call in, and the rest of the show was dedicated to slurs and offensive jokes about the Blessed Sacrament.

Now I have a good reason to say F- him.
