After delivering a spooky and unnerving laugh, Monson continued his speech.
"Well, I say to them -- 'Get the heck out of this town and go back to Eugene or San Francisco or wherever you came from. We don't need any more socialists experimenting with laws that invade our private lives with this 'holier than thou' mentality which, frankly, I think is pervasive in many cities around the Northwest. What is this? The People's Republic of Cascadia?"
Although many of his colleagues have worried about Monson's shift to traditional backwards puritanical and juvenile shock jock rhetoric, Dori's employers at Entercom have been very pleased with the resulting rise in his program's ratings. The Dori Monson Show audience has more than doubled since his rapid political transformation to 1950's era cold war dogma. Many radio industry observers now say he is attracting new listeners from rural areas of the state who have traditionally dined on a steady diet of Fox News, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
During the height of the Occupy Wall Street movement, Monson angered a lot of demonstrators when he described the activists camped at Seattle Central Community College as "filthy rats". He called upon the college to "bring in an exterminator to get rid of them".
Entercom management distributed a press release on the day that Bumkowski's book was published. It reads:
"The test trials were conducted with mutual consent. Dori knew exactly what he was getting into and we explained all of the possible side effects. We feel that our company has acted in good faith and we've heard no complaints from Mr. Monson. In fact, he seems delighted with the amazing results. We consider the experiment to be a complete success."
KIRO's veteran daytime host Dave Ross was unavailable for comment because he was barricaded in his home MIDI studio where he has been recording a silly ditty he wrote yesterday about Obamacare.
When current KIRO news host and former Seahawk wide receiver Steve Raible was approached by reporters for a comment he said simply, "I don't know what happened to Dori. He never used to be like this. I thought that maybe he got kicked in the head or something while he was coaching his girls soccer team""
Seattle doctor and mental health expert I.M. Bones told the Star that it could take years of intense psychotherapy and shock treatments before Monson can be cured of his irrational delusions.
So far, the only statement coming from the Dori Monson Show regarding the subject of Sarah Bumkowski's book was a candid remark made by Monson when he thought he was off the air.
"Can somebody please get me some more Ketamine? It goes great with this double tall latte!"
