Radio host Boyles mum on crude reference to DeGette

By David Montero, Rocky Mountain News

Radio host Peter Boyles said he's been asked by Clear Channel officials to not talk about his crude reference to U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette.

He said management at KHOW-AM (630) asked him on Wednesday to stop saying "Vagina DeGette" on the air.

But publicity by media and liberal-leaning Colorado Media Matters continued to keep the incident in the public eye and, in turn, the slur alive.

"I've been asked not to talk about it anymore, and so I won't," Boyles said after his Monday broadcast.

"I'm done with it."

The controversy started after President Barack Obama came to Denver last Tuesday to sign the $787 billion stimulus bill at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. During introductions, the president mispronounced the name of Diana DeGette, calling the Denver Democrat "Diana DeJette."

Boyles took the opportunity to make fun of the president the following morning by taking the mispronunciation even further - calling her Vagina DeGette.

oh, I was referring to his first name ...

would point to as the 'liberal' balance for limbaugh and hannity and the other RW blowhards that have dominated and polluted CO and its local politics for so long.

he was a 'moderate' voice in the community he and other local blowhards would routinely undo the work of thousands of citizen activists volunteering their time and dollars, or belittling the thousands of protestors that would march to end apartheid or stop illegal wars or other republican insanities. or promote the careers of some truly flat earth republican politicians that had no business representing anyone in a well informed democracy- all because reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine 20 years ago and democrats and liberals continue to ignore it.
