Correction. Make that “Minto ran an afternoon phone-in show in Western PA.
Seems that Marty couldn’t figure out when to keep his hateful mouth shut. He
opined on-air last week that the Pope probably isn’t going to go to heaven, in

for him. He’ll also probably make some claim about the curtailing of his
freedom of speech, which is a bogus argument in this case.
Good riddance to a regressive, intolerant bigot. I hope that whoever replaces
him breaks from radio tradition and espouses compassion rather than hatred.
