MSNBC testing Hillary-hating shock jock as news anchor

[drfemoe]

Bud Hedinger, whose radio talk show airs between The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Dr. Laura Schlessinger Program on 540 AM (WFLF) in Orlando, Florida, debuted today for a test run as an anchor for MSNBC Live, which airs between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays. "If they like what I do, they'll hire me," Hedinger told his hometown paper, the Orlando Sentinel on May 2.

According to the Sentinel, Hedinger "demonstrates his passion for George W. Bush through songs like 'God Bless Our President,'" which he sings on the air during his radio show.

In contrast with his fervor for Bush, on the website for his radio show, Hedinger asserts disdain for Senator Hillary Clinton, whom he calls "Hanoi Hillary." "THE BUDMAN URGES YOU TO PROTEST! HILLARY BLASTS BUSH IN ARAB PRESS INTERVIEW," Hedinger blares on his website, providing readers with a link to an April 27 NewsMax.com article reporting that Senator Hillary Clinton had criticized Bush in an interview with Asharq Al-Awsat, an Arab newspaper. However, as Media Matters for America documented on May 3 -- in response to MSNBC host Joe Scarborough making the same false statement on his program, Scarborough Country -- Clinton was never interviewed by the Arab paper.
