Yes, I think Stern would have been fired anyway - the whole obscenity on the airwaves thing has been percolating for a while (it didn't just start with Janet's nipple), and Stern has long been a target of the sort of folks who think that Leave it to Beaver is okay but a bit racey.
I'll try and use small words so you can understand - I don't doubt for a minute that Clear Channel has fired people for disagreeing with GW and done everything in its power to curry favor with the right.
I just don't think Stern was one of them. Stern crying political persecution is a lot like a Sharpton protoge crying racism. Without in any way assuming that the problem doesn't exist, sometimes the source of the charges makes you suspicious.

this is what i meant "the tallest blade of grass always gets cut down" - Stern is the poster child for pushing the limits and boundaries of obscenity. from listening to the show, it sounds like its pretty certain that his contract will not be renewed.
