Sly Sylvester, fired!

Madison radio station WTDY is changing formats, which means longtime radio personality and disgusting misogynist Sly Sylvester is off the air. Sylvester was also responsible for compromising his station’s news department with his antics.

Too bad Sylvester is being fired because of a station format change rather than his behavior, a missed opportunity for the owners of WTDY to stand up for common decency. Let’s hope that Sylvester never finds another job in radio again.

Jud Lounsbury, a former Russ Feingold flak, attempted to deny that Sylvester’s firing had anything to do with ratings.

@claypilot As usual, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Sly actually got great ratings. WTDY changing formats/no more news talk radio

Which begs the question, why do radio stations change formats?

By the way Lounsbury, who calls Sylvester a “progressive hero,” is upset that Democratic State Representative Brett Hulsey called Sylvester a bully.

@bretthulseywi ‘s tweet “Sly will bully no more on WTDY” is ugly/cheap.Sly is a progressive hero to many, including me. @nicholsuprising

Perhaps Lounsbury should be less engaged in hero worship, as the “hero” is beginning to rub off on Lounsbury.

@gjzielinski What?!?Easter sucks balls. Christmas is obviously the best Christian holiday.And best secular holiday would be the Fourth

The most important holiday in the Christian faith, “sucks balls,” according to Lounsbury. Lounsbury’s remarks were ugly, cheap and vile, but it’s good to know what prominent Democrats in Madison think of the holiest of Christian holidays.
