The Howard Stern show recently had a $5,000 contest for "Hottest Wife, Ugliest Husband". The winner just happened to be a 2nd grade teacher. While on the show, she said nothing controversial and only appeared in a bikini. Not only did she win, she lost her job. The members of the board where she worked hid behind comments like "because of the nature of the show". How much do you want to bet that not one of them listens to the show? Would this teacher be allowed to go to the beach in her bikini after work? Give me a break. Our society cracks me up sometimes. If you are a loyal listener of Howard's, you know that behind the mask, he's one of the most decent people on the planet. He loves his daughters, champions an animal charity, is 100% honest in his opinions and is super monogamous with Beth whom he's been with for (I think) about 8 years. Yes, the show can be raunchy at times and sophomoric, but aren't guys like that when we're hanging out with our real friends? It's art imitating life. It's what the show is about, making the listeners feel like they are hanging out with friends. If you just read certain comments or quotes from the show picked out by someone trying to shock or scare you - they might be able to do it. However, if you read a fair and balanced account of all topics discussed and Howard's true opinions after all the kidding around was over, you'd also be shocked - unless you're a long time listener. I know this much in my heart of hearts and it's the greatest compliment I could give any man: If I had to let my daughter alone with either Howard Stern or a priest that I've never met, I would leave her with Howard and not worry for a millisecond. I bet there are millions of other dads who feel the same exact way. While politicians and public "men of God" are constantly caught in sex scandals in airport bathrooms and infidelity situations.....while celebrities are losing custody of their kids, banging their nannies and going to rehab for God knows what....what is Howard Stern doing? He's eating grilled chicken, running, playing chess and watching "Dancing with the Stars" and "American Idol". Yeah, he's dangerous alright, if you don't listen to him.

Too bad she is a teacher and works for peanuts. I wish she worked for Walmart and could sue their asses off.
Drat.
She might be hottest wife in the comparative contest with ugly husband, but she doesn't have a modeling career ahead of her despite being skinny enough to look like a white Ethiopian Famine survivor. Perhaps a Wal-Mart career does indeed await her.
And I believe Howard was knocking the bottom out of several women in the latter days of his first marriage to Alison. Now, this is not a criticism of Howard. His wife drove him to infidelity (as many do). But I wouldn't describe him as super-monogamous.
Faced with leaving a young child in the company of either Howard or a priest, I might be inclined just to drag them along to the strip club with me!
hmmm. never heard that about the first marriage. i'd be curious to know, but it wouldnt change my opinion of him. his on air persona is getting closer now to who he really is. but, look at how the two of us act/talk when we're together.....it's real. it's how guys are. no big deal. people that dont listen think he's a monster and i guess thats what i was trying to debunk a little.
So you're also a Howard fan. I think you'll find this link fairly hilarious. A classic case of mistaken identity.
