sounds like MD Jr. should be your Halloween costume!!!
"historians will remember TV talk show host Downey as a peculiar artifact of the Reagan/Bush '80s. The nation was entering a recession. Companies were laying off thousands of workers. And the media was its usual arrogant and out-of-touch self. Then along came this fellow with snapping dentures and a gale of a voice who embodied the simmering rage of millions-in particular, millions of white men between the ages of 18 and 54. They were mad. They wanted to scream at someone. They wanted to blow cigarette smoke in someone's face. They wanted to call the media "Pablum-puking liberals." Mort was their man.

I remember when he faked being attacked by Neo-Nazis. This little incident smacks of Morton Downey Jr.
