JOCKS JOKE ABOUT CONDI RICE RAPE

By DON KAPLAN

May 11, 2007 -- SHOCK jocks Opie and Anthony are in trouble again after joking about raping Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

During Wednesday's show, a guest named "Homeless Charlie" told the deejays he wanted to have sex with Rice.

Anthony Cumia interrupted to say he "could just imagine the horror on Condoleezza Rice's face when she realized that you were holding her down and f - - -ing her."

"Punching her in the f - - -ing face and f - - -ing her," added a laughing "Charlie," before saying he also wanted to force himself on First Lady Laura Bush.

The obscene exchange took place on XM, a satellite radio station. But a recording of the Wednesday broadcast appeared on The Drudge Report yesterday, circulating the comments far beyond XM's relatively modest audience.

A portion of Opie & Anthony's show is also heard on CBS-owned 92.3 "Free FM," though the Rice-rape jokes were not made during that segment.

CBS said it had no plans to take "Opie & Anthony" off Free FM.

"We apologize to the public officials for comments that were made on our XM show... We take very seriously the responsibility that comes with our creative freedom and regret any offense that this segment has caused." an XM spokesman said.

Hmmm because its XM radio....the FCC has nothing to do with them...and it should stay that way.

They appologized...you can say anything you want on XM.

If you turn the station to the playboy channel you'll hear people on there having sex.

get over it Regis.

I think that these comments are maybe almost worse than Imus'. These two idiots are joking about a seriously violent, demeaning and horrendous crime. Rape is not funny in the least.

On Playboy, I'm sure the sex is consensual. Totally different.

Just conveniently at the time of summer vacation, as I alluded to in the Imus thread before this ever happened when refering to their gag with Mayor Menino.

Opie and Anthony have a track record of being pigs. This was way over the top.
