The Schrug

I’ve started posting all my Jay Severin comments at my dedicated blog, Severin Watch. But I’m making an exception today because I actually got on the air and recorded it.   Having Jay Severin call me an a-hole is like having Lady Gaga call me a hermaphrodite. (I know Lady Gaga is not a hermaphrodite, [...]

OK, now I’m a little (??) obsessed with this viral video thing, even to the point of creating a new video in response to my first one. The “other version” of the Hitler-Coakley-Brown video has now received well over a million views. But not only on DrRonPaul2012’s page. The same video has been uploaded to [...]

I had a brilliant idea last night as the gloom of the Martha Coakley debacle set in. I was trying to imagine how President Obama must have been feeling as the returns were announced, and I thought of that scene from Downfall that has been endlessly parodied on YouTube. (Quick side note: I had to [...]

“Carrying condoms in DC could get you arrested.” That warning was posted on Facebook by a magazine targeted to teenage girls. (No, I don’t read the magazine myself. It’s published by a client of mine.) I read that post a couple times and said to myself, “that can’t be right.” And in fact, it’s not. [...]

I’ve decided that Jay Severin no longer merits mention in The Schrug. Instead, I’ve created a new blog: Severin Watch. It’s all Jay, all the time. Why? Good question … All posts from the Jay Severin category from this blog have been ported over there, but it’s too much trouble to port the comments, so [...]

A lot of people have been commenting recently on my 8-month-old blog post, What Jay Severin thinks about the poor. I was wondering what accounted for the interest in that old article, so on a hunch I Googled “Jay Severin.” As of today (Wednesday, November 5, 2008), my blog post is showing up on the [...]

I think I finally found a good use for Twitter. I proudly announce the launch of the JaySeverinTwit. Follow me!

Jay Severin thought it would be fun to invite Marisa Tomei, Tatyana Ali, and Frances McDormand — all of them “Hollywood hags,” in his opinion — onto his show and ambush them with hostile questions about Barack Obama. Tomei and Ali were no-shows, but McDormand called in as scheduled and beat the crap out of [...]

Well, he didn’t say that exactly. What he said is that early voting is “anti-Constitutional.” He said that having to vote in a specific place on a specific day is a good way of making sure that only committed voters vote. It’s a way of keeping out the “riff-raff.” You know, riff-raff like military personnel [...]

Note: please post any new comments to the new SeverinWatch blog: http://severinwatch.com/2008/10/16/more-lies-from-lying-jay-severin-the-liar/ Didn’t have the recorder set up for this one so I can’t provide the full transcript, but on Wednesday, October 15, between 3:30 and 4:30 pm, Jay Severin made a couple statements that are – to use one of his favorite terms – [...]
