After making waves, Jay Severin back on airwaves
Source: Boston Herald

A kinder, gentler Jay Severin will return to the airwaves Tuesday, the right-wing shock jock said yesterday, just hours after 96.9 WTKK-FM announced the end of a month-long suspension.

...
Severin said he regrets those remarks and plans to apologize from his “heart” on his show Tuesday.

“I certainly intend to do everything I can do to apologize in a full and sincere manner,” Severin said.

Hired in 1999 to bring his brand of inflammatory radio to Boston, Severin, 58, has stirred controversy for years with his comments about immigrants, Muslims and Democratic politicians - for instance, repeatedly referring to Barack Obama during the election as “Osama Obama.”

1. And if people believe that will last for any length of time...
...I've got some swampland along with a number of Mississippi river bridges for sale.

2. His real problem isn't his offensive language.
People put up with that crap for years.

His real problem is that he's a no-talent hack. Seriously. He can't even "shock" properly--he's just a turd. Sloppy, stinky, messy, smelly....lousy in every way.

He does not reflect the values of the city or the state, and, worst crime of all on radio....he has an obnoxious delivery as well.

3. Who won the pool?
I don't think many people guessed only one month.
