Shock jock Howard Stern has announced that he will never vote for another Democrat again. That’s because the two Democrats on the Federal Communications Commission voted to deny the merger of XM and Sirius Satellite Radio. Stern’s show is now broadcast exclusively on Sirius and the merger with XM will give him access to a huge pool of potential new listeners.
“I’ve voted Republican and I’ve voted Democrat,” Stern said. “I have vowed I will never vote for a Democrat again. I don’t give a [expletive] – no matter who they are. I don’t care if God becomes a Democrat.’
Of the five members of the FCC board, three are Republicans and two are Democrats. The merger has been approved, but only because the three Republican members all voted to support it. Stern was a supporter of Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, but has said he wants nothing to do with the Democratic Party in the future.
“The fact [is] that these Democrats on the FCC are communists,” Stern continued. “They’re for communism. They don’t want to see companies – this is gangsterism.”
No word yet if this means Stern will be telling his listeners to vote for McCain… or perhaps another candidate like Bob Barr. Stern was, himself, a Libertarian candidate for Governor of New York for a short time in 1994. He soon dropped out of the race when he learned that disclosure laws would have required him to make his tax returns public.

Howard Stern is a mess of contradictions. On one hand he talks about how he can’t wait to not do radio anymore, on the other he’s got a jihad for this merger to go through.
If he’s quitting when his contract is up, why does it matter? Maybe if it does go through his show will get better because he’ll have more listeners, or he could decide to work three days a week after it happens.
