Jay Severin, the fiery, right-wing radio talk show host on Boston's WTKK-FM radio station, was suspended today after calling Mexican immigrants "criminaliens," "primitives," "leeches," and "women with mustaches and VD," among other incendiary comments.
Heidi Raphael, a spokeswoman for the station, said Severin had been suspended indefinitely from his afternoon drive-time show. She declined to say which of his comments - made since an outbreak of swine flu was linked to Mexico in recent days - sparked the suspension...
In one of his broadcasts this week, Severin said: "So now, in addition to venereal disease and the other leading exports of Mexico - women with mustaches and VD - now we have swine flu."
Later, he described Mexicans as "the world's lowest of primitives."
"When we are the magnet for primitives around the world -- and it's not the primitives' fault by the way, I'm not blaming them for being primitives -- I'm merely observing they're primitive," he said.
So what did Severino do this time that was different than every other show he does? Let's hope he's off the air for good.
