The fact that people are on here bitching about Spud in this manner proves that he is doing exactly what he is getting paid for.

Not really. I make it a point to change the channel when he starts babbling with his over-the-top, super Republican gimmick. At least as far as I'm concerned he's NOT doing his job because his talking makes me stop listening.

You're correct that he's supposed to generate buzz. That's the old "there's no such thing as bad press" theory. And maybe in general he is pulling in listeners (he wouldn't still have a job if he didn't.)

But us complaining about him here doesn't prove that he is or is not doing his job. I know enough about him just from commercials to know that I don't want to hear his regular show. So in my case at least he's failing.
