I usually don’t listen to Mancow, but this morning I did for about 20 minutes. He made some comment about how he is a felon for being in some protest in San Francisco. Is this true? Is he a convicted felon??
Not a protest, exactly.
Remember when Clinton got his hair cut sitting in Air Force 1 on the runway, holding up air traffic? Mancow took it upon himself to use the story for a publicity stunt for the San Francisco radio station he was working for at the time. He parked a convertible in the middle of either the Bay Bridge or Golden Gate at rush hour, I can’t remember which, and had his hair cut. The California Highway Patrol wasn’t amused. Neither were members of the listening audience who happened to be on the bridge at the time, and of course, competing radio stations gleefully piled on when the trick backfired on him. He got fired. I didn’t know he got a felony charge out of it.
I wasn’t listening very closely (the radio was in another room) but that sounds like what he was talking about. I did hear him say he was a felon. But for the little bit I’ve heard of his show 90% sounds like [in my opinion] bullshit.
I think he gets diarhea of the mouth and babbles stuff that isn’t EXACTLY true, so he may have been stretching the truth.
Here’s a story from 1995. The incident happened on the Bay Bridge.
From sfgate.com:
"…The escapade took place in May 1993, a week after Clinton had a haircut while on Air Force One at Los Angeles International Airport.
A KSOL van parked across several westbound lanes of the bridge during the morning commute while disc jockey Erich (Mancow) Muller got a haircut, which took only a few minutes but jammed traffic for more than an hour.
Muller later pleaded no contest to a criminal charge of creating a public nuisance and was fined $500 and ordered to serve 100 hours of community service."
i have to tell this story. i live in the East Bay and was commuting to my new job in South San Francisco for the first time that day that Mancow pulled that stunt. i had no idea how long the commute would take, but i had left extra early, just in case.
i ended up being parked on the Bay Bridge, reading a book. i thought it was completely normal and suddenly wasn’t too happy about the new job.
haven’t i seen that idiot Mancow on CNBC yelling stupid conservative views on a some talk show or something? what an ass.
