Friday morning I listened to him for the first time in I don't remember how long and I wasn't disappointed. Ol' Chuckles managed to glide smoothly into a derisive comment about Tea Party activists, calling them (not unexpectedly) "teabaggers."
Now, you know and I know that Jaco knows what that word means and that it NOT a reference to any political activity. It's used regularly by commentators and newspeople like Rick Sanchez, Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, Keith Olberman, Ron Reagan Jr. and Chris Matthews.
All of them have one thing in common, of course, not that there's anything wrong with that. Obviously our boy of the stolen Rolex, Charlie the J., is trying to ingratiate himself with them by using the word to demean, as they do, their political opposites.
So I remind Mr. Jaco that, by calling his opponents "teabaggers" (in the lexicon of the culture from which the term came, the "pitcher"), there is an inherent implication that he is the "teabaggee" (in the same lexicon, the "catcher").
So, to Charles Jaco, of KTRS and KTVI, for no good reason at all, goes the first STLMedia Pudding Cup!
Would you like some nuts with that pudding, Charles?
