It's like saying Britain has no death penalty, so Fred West committing suicide in his cell while he was waiting to stand trial was ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,012 Posted March 12, 2016 3/12: Author Robert Ludlum AND Radio talk show host turned creator of shock/trash tv (ala Jerry Springer et.al), Morton Downey, Jr... ...both died 15 years ago today. I had forgotten about Downey Jr altogether till today but he was sure something back in the day. He was fired from radio and Limbaugh was given that slot -- if that's any indication. I had to pick a photo of Downey Jr with a fag because he was well-known for smoking on his tv set and what with his eventual death due to lung cancer, seems fitting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
