Jay Severin, the controversial right-wing talk show host, will return to his drive-time radio show today after Boston's WTKK-FM suspended him for a month following derogatory comments he made about Mexicans.

Severin is expected to apologize when he resumes his show at 3 p.m. He was suspended April 30 after he described Mexicans as "primitives" and "leeches" and called Mexico an exporter of "women with mustaches and VD," among other comments.

Neither Severin nor station officials responded to requests to comment today.

"Jay regrets the remarks for which he was suspended and understands that his comments were indeed wrong and hurtful to the Mexican and Mexican-American communities," the station's managers said over the weekend in a note posted on the WTKK website. "Accordingly, we feel it is time to end Jay's suspension and welcome him back."

This is something of a FAIL for progressive forces. This wingnut-welfared hate jock is coming back.

About the wingnut welfare reference, it came out that Severin, a low-level, talentless creep, is paid a million dollars per year to spew hate on this station. The same station that employs another host who was fired in the past for hate provocation.

Forces in the US are paying to ensure racial prejudice is encouraged on the airwaves, a public commodity that was once kept in check but is now up to the highest bidder. And there seems to be nothing we can do about it.
