That's how a local commentator fired from a $150-a-week job can suddenly make Variety, NBC news, the Drudge Report, Reuters, the BBC, even the crawl on CNN Headline News: "RADIO COMMENTATOR SANDRA TSING LOH FIRED FOR OBSCENITY."? My supporters range from The National Review to Howard Stern.? I don?t know whether my next invitation will be to the White House or to Larry Flynt?s.? And then there?s the passionate outpouring...
