So another DJ has resigned over comments made about a political candidate. What happens to these people? Do they go to limbo for a bit, then go back on the air? Do they have to wear an ankle braclet?
It seems to me that hurling a grenade onto the cultural wasteland that is our mass commercial media environment, then apologizing and quitting, has become a calculated part of the political process.
Maybe I'm cynical. But dammit, apologizing isn't enough anymore. I want to see Don Imus chop off a finger every time he says something stupid. I want to see real contrition. Let's get some of those Inquisition priests (or modern CIA agents, apparently). They know how to work an apology out of someone that means something.
