Howard Eskin Loves Him Some Hillary

Why do the sports talkers cover sports more seriously than they do politics? First, it’s Angelo Cataldi in Barack Obama’s pocket (as he’d probably put it) and now The King goes ga ga over Hillary Clinton.

Yes, radio host and fur salesman Howard Eskin had Hillary Clinton on his show yesterday, and Ump Bump chronicles the softballs Eskin lobbed her way, including these:

• I think Barack Obama has gotten a pass from other talk show hosts…How do you deal with unfairness in the coverage of this primary election?
• You were First Lady while the best president of my lifetime was in the White House. How important was that experience?
• Am I permitted to call you ‘Hillary’?

I can only imagine he got cut off before he could ask her what kind of tree she would be.

What’s even more fun is Chelsea Clinton exaggerates how sexist comments were (or something) and then her mom goes on to a radio show of a dude whose favorite punch line when a woman calls is asking her what she’s cooking for dinner. When’s Hillary Clinton’s next appearance on Don Imus?

Short clip after the jump.
