David Schrag examines his navel and the world around it
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 the [...]
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 [...]

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 – demonstrably [...]

I think I’ve discovered a new mental illness. It’s called Severinitis. Persons suffering from this disease are under the delusion that they can somehow get Jay Severin to soften his position or rhetoric on anything by presenting a rational and factual argument. They feel [...]
Why am I spending any of my time on this guy? I have no idea. But I can’t help it. Here’s his latest offense.
Jay, along with at least one other radio talk show host, likes to refer to the junior senator from Illinois as “Barack Hussein Obama.” Why does he do this? Because, he says, [...]

Although I disagree with John McCain on several policy issues, and although I’m not convinced he’s really the squeaky clean straight talker he claims to be, I do find his willingness to challenge his supporters refreshing. Too bad Jay Severin has vowed he will never vote for McCain. I’d love to hear McCain’s reactions to [...]
