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.
