John DePetro, famous and fired for calling former gubernatorial candidate Grace Ross a "fat lesbian" during his WRKO show, has found a place that will take him.

The Herald's headline was deceptive: Ross' Run-In: Nabbed After Speeding to Campaign Event.

There’s something about the AM dial. It remains an important medium for all sorts of talk radio and sports, but still gets fuzzy anytime you’re too close to power lines or transformers. Even the MP3 players that include a radio tuner don’t include AM, it’s all frequency modulation, all the time. But for the faithful of the amplitude a new, old, familiar voice will be taking the airwaves in mid-February. On Sunday the Herald told us to hold our breath. Today we can exhale as the deal has been sealed. The artist formerly known as Mr. Speaker will be taking over the 6 to 10 am morning show on AM 680 WRKO. You may now know him now as Justice Obstructer #1 Tommy Finneran.

Politicians have many talents - talking a long time without saying anything, convincing people to give away large sums of cash, and throwing lavish parties. Singing isn't usually considered their strong suit. That didn't stop NECN from pulling together several Massachusetts politicians to sing the "12 Days of Christmas" in a hilarious, largely tone-deaf montage. Big guns like Ted Kennedy, Mayor Menino, and Deval Patrick good-naturedly sang their hearts out. Mitt Romney even turned out...

This Bostonist would be the first to admit to chiding Green/Rainbow gubenatorial candidate Grace Ross for her earth-mother fashion sense and her mullet. But how a person's appearance should have absolutely no connection to how a person does her job. John DePetro of WRKO clearly did not get that memo. DePetro got fired for calling Grace Ross a "fat lesbian" on the air after the last debate. He said, "Will somebody tell that fat...

Bostonist has never made pretensions of conservatism, and it won’t take much to guess whom (this) Bostonist is voting for in a week and a half. Because of that, we don’t expect people to care if we take time out of our busy schedule to debunk things that Kerry Healey and her supporters say. Also, with Christy Mihos and Grace Ross running quixotically for governor, Healey has enough higher-profile-than-us detractors already. But damn it, if...

If you're running out of ideas for clever Halloween costumes, look no further than Wednesday night's gubernatorial debate. With a few well-chosen props, you too can endorse (or mock) the four larger-than-life personalities vying to be governor. Kerry Healey: You need a suit and a blonde wig. Take that wig, and shellac the heck out of it – preferably outdoors – with some Aqua Net. If it won’t move in a stiff wind, you’re...

The good news about last night's gubernatorial debate in Springfield was that the moderators and the panelists had the opportunity to remind the candidates that there's more to Massachusetts than Boston. The debate was also a more tasteful affair with a moderator – Jim Madigan of WGBY-TV - who seemed to relish telling people to settle down.

We knew Deval Patrick was in the race last year – he threw his hat in early. If it weren't for that pesky Romney character we would have known Kerry Healey was in the race earlier. After primary voting yesterday it finally became clear who the front-runners in the race for Governor would be. Deval Patrick picked up 50% of the democratic primary vote to beat out his challengers Chris Gabrieli and Tom Reilly. There...

We've been asked a couple times about the particularities of voting in the primaries tomorrow. Bostonist doesn't claim to be an authority on the subject, but we've taken a stab at answering a few questions below.
