Media consultant John Gorman has an absolutely hilarious blog post this morning on David Rehr and the hypocrisy of the NAB's battle against the Sirius-XM merger.
"There were no secrets. XM and Sirius claimed the merger would not be a monopoly since they compete with terrestrial radio, Internet radio, and MP3 players. That’s what they focused on and never deviated from that claim.In response, the unfocused David Rehr who looks like David Johansen impersonated still another David – David Byrne and danced around the merger issues like Byrne did on the Talking Heads video, 'Once in a Lifetime.'
It’s taken him just two years to go from the NAB’s hopeful hero to a hopeless zero.
Sometimes it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.
Rehr had all the charisma of dead fish when he pitched Capitol Hill. And Mel Karmazin was Mel Karmazin. No contest."
Ouch! Read more of Gorman's scathing blog post here... trust me, it's well worth it.
With the exception of his slander of Gen. Petraeus, I'd agree with all that.
Karmain? That guy sounds interesting ......
When this is all over, Rehr is going to be fired...
I wonder when Rehr was born, the doctor's slapped his mother.......
I knew that he was the lead singer of the New York Dolls.

Rehr has a giant mouth, like a muppet, except muppets aren't evil, lobbyist hypocrits.
