New radio show for former Gov. John Rowland

John Rowland will join a long list of former politicians and political operatives in the media when he begins a daily show on WTIC AM radio.

Rowland, and his minister friend, Pastor Will Marrotti apparently passed the audition back in July and will begin co-hosting the 3 to 6 p.m. time slot Thursday in an issue oriented talk show called “Church and State.”

Seriously? One of the most powerful AM stations in the northeast and THIS is the best talent you can come up with???

You had a successful liberal guy for years that you dumped. Now he's doing gangbusters at NPR.

Is this all a strategy to make sure that the station is THE single most politically lopsided one in the state? Limbaugh and Hannity aren't enough? Even still, a failed ex-Governor/felon is the best conservative talent you could find?

Oh, and this appears to be a rich preview of the moralistic pontification we can expect from this show:

He says he has great empathy for Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez and what his family is now facing following his sentencing on corruption Tuesday. But says his indiscretions and those of Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim were really much worse than his.

In other words, "yeah, I'm a douche bag. But he's a bigger one."

Sounds riveting.

At least with XM, I don't need to dial into WTIC to hear the Red-Sox anymore...
