Josephine "Ann" Harris, the "70-year-old proprietor of a diner in Akron, Ohio, died hours after meeting President Obama when he stopped in for breakfast Friday morning" as reported by the Washington Post. Harris was reportedly an avid supporter of the President, and thrilled to have had the opportunity to meet him in person. Obama's stop was as apolitical as one can get on the campaign trail, and it's unfortunate that anyone would trivialize Harris's death to make a cheap political "joke." But that's exactly what News/Talk 1110 WBT's new hosts Brad Krantz and Britt Whitmire did when they chose to make Josephine the punchline for a tired tirade against Limbaugh, a "parody" that begins with the host blaming Obama for the woman's death and ends with a cheap shot against Limbaugh's past drug addiction and an absurd attack against Mark Belling, yesterday's fill-in host.
