Radio Soft-Toss With Andrew McKay and Doug Underhill.......

The portion of the interview I heard early this morning on AM 1620 between Andrew McKay and Doug Underhill was more like soft-toss practice than anything substantive....


Early this morning I had the misfortune of flipping channels in time to catch a part of an interview on the radio with Commissioner Doug Underhill.

It was on AM1620 with Andrew McKay.

Every time I have had the occasion to be invited on Andrew's show--which is infrequnetly---he never has an issue with asking direct, pressing questions of me--which I appreciate.  I'm sure the listeners do as well.  And I answer them all--and it typically takes up the entirety of the interview....

But this morning's interview was a straight-up joke.  A radio version of softball soft toss practice....two minutes of the 11:00+ minute interview with two softball questions on the ethics probe--thrown out  as if it is "nothing to see here..."  No pressing follow ups.  No questions about the meat of the complaints.  Nope.

I'm not sure if it was recorded and re-played--or if it was actually live.  I'm not sure if I missed the cogent, timely questions on the front end of the interview--but I doubt I missed anything but fluff.    But if it was, in fact, a live and non-recorded interview--where were the rest of the  pressing questions beyond the two softballs up front that took less than two minutes of the 11 minute interview??

Like, how about these? (the questions the host should have asked but didn't...)

    1.  Doug, as of late last week the ethics commission has found probable cause on multiple counts that you misused your position and violated state ethics law(s)--who are these three individuals and why do you think they put these complaints in against you?

    2.  Doug, your Federal Lawsuit for violation of civil rights--what is the status of that?

    3.  Doug--on citizens' watch chat site, you insinuate a local pastor was unethical by requesting funds
