Says its because he doesnt want to travel with work anymore and wants to "spend time with the family"
I was watching the twitter of the local station that carries him (for traffic info). Luckily here he will be replaced by The Herman Cain Show.
I would link it, but it's not worth the trouble.
Enjoy the rest of your Monday.

(24,422 posts)I don't think that he is happy with his job and/or life based on his demeanor on his show. Of course I think that hate radio hosts are never actually happy about anything really.

(54,770 posts)Maddox made his "name" -- and attracted Boortz -- by chasing minorities out of his restaurant with ax handles and guns.
Worse than Boortz are the reprobates who listen to him.

EDIT - Holy crap! I just found a link and it said that 999 is going to take over the slot.

(21,977 posts)Does he have to chase his microphone around? Do they keep moving the studio on him?
Maybe his ratings were going to shit.
Either way, GOOD RIDDANCE. I hope you had the time of your life.

To clarify, I have no respect for Boortz after the way he disparaged the diaspora of Katrina refugees coming to Atlanta, and talked about the people on rooftops and the Superdome using coded racist hate language.
He's asked for my scorn, and shall receive it, aplenty.
