Get To Know Tough Talkin' Radio Putz Steve Deace


Just so you know a little more about who the "thought leaders" and "movers and shakers" are in far right- wing hate radio circles, there's a long, must-read profile in the New York Times Magazine on Iowa hate radio nutbag and self- styled "Alpha male," the pasty, pudgy Steve "Douchebag" Deace.   (Rhetorical question: Why do so many of these dipwits look like a one- off Rush Limpballs?)  Here's just a snippet from the profile that reveals, in less than 40 words, why the nationally- syndicated Douchebag might not be quite the hero tough guy he'd like to project:
Rejected by the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Deace went to Michigan State University, flunked out, partied hard, bet excessively on sports and, indebted, fled a threatening bookie back to his grandmother’s house in Des Moines. (our emphasis)
"Hide me, grammy! The mean bookie's going to break my legs!"  "Oh dear, get in the root cellar, Stevie!"

There's some Republican courage, responsibility and accountability for you!

Douchebag has endorsed that other tough- talkin' guy,  the man- with- no- discernible- chin, Sen. "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz.  "Alpha males" have to stick together, you know.

Not proud anymore for some time saying I am from Iowa. It's always been conservative but elected many Dems too. Not now. It's changed and the whole country has changed.

Am radio is seldom mentioned and it's guys like this who on across the nation. Nobody else.

Back a few years ago, it was estimated that there was about 2,500 hours of right-wing talk radio programming every day. I'm sure that's gone up since then. (Source: https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/regulation/news/2007/07/10/3297/talk-radio-by-the-numbers/

Thanks for commenting (and we don't hold it against you for being from Iowa; half of our family is from Wisconsin!!)

The smooth, well-fed appearance of a man whose never known true hunger and never stressed muscles in a day's worth of real labor.

Including brain "muscles." Yes, indeed.
