Boers & Bernstein bashed again by O'Donnell

: Chicago Sun Times columnist Jim O'Donnell took it upon himself for the second week in a row to rip on WSCR afternoon hosts Boers & Bernstein in his column. It's refreshing to see someone call out B & B. Their act got old a long time ago and their numbers reflect that fact!: : : *** : BOUQ-BRICKING: The addled afternoon swill-io on WSCR-AM (670) -- still featuring post-''caca'' Terry ''Wheezie'' Boers and withering bellhop Danny ''Boo Boo'' Bernstein -- continues. : Industry insiders wonder when upper CBS Radio management either steps in and forces program babysitter Mitch Rosen to drop the rattlers or overrides the knock-kneed Rosen and gets someone else to do it. Over/under on talent taking over the underachieving slot is Labor Day. : Verifiable reaction to last week's suggestion that change is long overdue in Der 'Schnore's sonic sewer ran an astounding 93 percent in agreement. British Petroleum reps handing out Wet-Naps in coastal Louisiana couldn't generate revulsion like that. : Typical was the comment of reader Scott Hipple, who noted: ''Try to listen for five minutes and all you can think is that no-talent bums like Boers and Bernstein give no-talent bums a bad name.'' : Rosen emerged from his cocoon long enough to short-leash the hazy lapdogs for a day and actually: a) try to make them talk sports; and b) not insult callers. Result: just another strain of must-flee radio with ''Boo Boo'' babbling on, attempting to mock a story involving a gay escort service. : ''Weird Terry'' then took Friday ''off'' while Bernstein played to the sounds of silence -- there's a surprise -- in a remote from a bad-lucked Wrigleyville bar. Moths were probably killing themselves on the light bulbs to get away. : Part of the 7 percent who defended the tripe meisters cited their spurious standing with a targeted ''adult male'' demographic. : Actually, with ''Wheezie'' and ''Boo Boo,'' it's probably a ''special'' demo of adult males who listen who are most likely to shoplift, own the complete Seka Betamax collection and don't have driver's licenses. : For the image and profitability of CBS Radio, the change cannot come soon enough.
