I was just flipping stations and came across the opening credits of "Mancow," after which a cross between Glenn Beck and Guy Fieri screamed at a panel including Andrew Lloyd Webber's daughter about how Democratic cities are more violent and tea partiers are being profiled, and yes he needs an automatic weapon because "land of the free! land of the free!"
Found some random references to his DJ past in the archive but it looks like he's hit the big time.

yeah looking over his wiki i remember reading about some of anti-durst shenanigans but if you want to see him shouting about politics, Saturday 10pm ET on Fox News.

I remember when he started as a DJ in Chicago, around '96 or '97. He played both sides of the fence politically, essentially trying to suss out which angle would be better for his career.

he's unfunny. he's so stupid. he's loud. he has a goatee. he's like if the morning dj on your shitty local rock station had a god complex and a fox news show.

just went back to it
TWC description of episode: eric "mancow" muller talks with william shatner, interviews internet experts and moderates a debate between a 9/11 conspiracy enthusiast and a New York City firefighter.
I think I missed Shatner, now he's talking to Peter Schiff about Obama's "you didn't buy that" speech.

Yeah, Mancow was the douchebag Howard-wannabe of Chicago from the 90s onward. I just remember him popping up in the news from time to time for whatever douchey thing he said.

Peter SchiffSmall Business Owner

he just showed an andy borowitz tweet
went to an ad, came back and showed another andy borowitz tweet

those he liked. did not like tweets by roseanne barr, ellen barkin and frank "tv's frank" conniff, though he only made fun of the bodies of the first two and sadly did not reference MST3k at all.

This guy is one of those public douches who I've personally experienced being reasonable in real life. So cynical, that he plays up the jackassery to such a degree, but it pays the bills, I guess.

Someone should waterboard him, again.
