KFI, BILL HANDEL AND THE HAJ STAMPEDE

The Council of American Islamic Relations demanded an apology last week after KFI 640 host Bill Handel made fun of the deaths of 363 Muslims during a stampede at the Haj pilgrimage in Mecca. Handel joked that Muslims should use an LA-freeway traffic helicopter to monitor the pilgrimage. Handel said he will apologize for the skit only if CAIR denounces terrorism and acknowledges Israel's right to exist. Larry asks listeners what this controversy says about morning radio and the limits of good taste.
