A Host Disparages Obama, and McCain Quickly Apologizes

The New York Times (register)

CINCINNATI — Senator John McCain apologized Tuesday after a conservative radio host who helped introduce him before a rally used Senator Barack Obama’s middle name, Hussein, three times, while disparaging him.
Bill Cunningham, who is host of “The Big Show with Bill Cunningham,” a local program here that is also syndicated nationally, was one of several people who revved up the crowd before Mr. McCain’s appearance at a theater here.

Mr. Cunningham lambasted the national news media, drawing cheers from the audience, as being soft in their coverage of Mr. Obama compared with the Republican presidential candidates, declaring they should “peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama.”
