Michael Graham Would Throw People Under AND In Front of A Bus

Before Michael Graham could delve into the surprisingly competitive race for Ted Kennedy's U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts, where voters will head to the polls today, Imus had the ever-pressing matter of his own ego to discuss first.

"Why wasn't I thinking clearly enough to jump on this Scott Brown bandwagon when it really could have paid off?" asked Imus, referring to the Republican candidate expected to pull of a holy-crap win over Democrat Martha Coakley.

Graham, the Boston-based radio host on 96.9 FM WTKK, called Brown, a state senator, "the least likely dragon-slayer you could ever imagine." No stranger to Massachusetts politics, however, Graham said he'll believe a Brown victory when he sees it, and he might not believe it then either.

"This is still Massachusetts," he said, brushing aside polls showing Brown on top. "The Democrats get to count the votes. It doesn't necessarily matter what happens going into the polls."

While some of Brown's success can be attributed to growing discontent with Democrats nationwide, Graham credited Coakley, the Massachusetts Attorney General, with bringing forth her own demise.

"She is a walking political disaster," he said, ticking off mistakes her campaign has made, like using an outdated New York City skyline in one of its ads. "Her campaign is so stupid, she's lucky the World Trade Center picture didn't have a plane hitting it when they put it in the ad."

Yet Graham blamed Coakley's looming implosion on the arrogance of politicians in both Washington, DC and in Massachusetts.

"The voters feel like they've been mistreated, they've been abused," he said. "No one listens to them. They show up at a tea party just to say, 'Hey, what about this debt?' and they start getting screamed at that they're right-wing nut jobs."

Coakley also recently told a Fox affiliate in Boston that she thinks the 62 percent of Americans who say the health care plan won't work are flat out wrong. "A little more sucking up, please, would be the motto here," Graham instructed.

Graham, a Patriots fan, was also focused on the outcome of this weekend's Jets-Colts AFC Championship game. Though he attended Oral Roberts University, his position on the Colts quarterback was decidedly un-Christian.

"I don't want anyone to get hit but a bus, I really don't," he said. "But if there's some kid about to get hit by a bus, or Peyton Manning...couldn't the bus veer around the kid?"
