33. I'm going to Pay to listen
If it was just about him I might not have. But it is shows like his, the Daily Show (which you have to pay for by paying for cable), and the like that will be the only bastions of free speech left.

Free speech is only for the people with enough disposable income for cable and sat radio now.

And for free speech to mean anything it must be exercised and boundaries tested. Howard does this well and in an entertaining way.

Generally I don't think he humiliates women or anyone. There have been moments I think he has crossed a line I would draw personally but if that didn't happen once in a while it wouldn't be half as interesting and entertaining.
