Cast out your radio!

When a Utah KCPW listener heard a satire on Huckabee and Southern cuisine that included a recipe for "deep-fried body of Christ," he ratted out the wannabe cheeky program "Fair Game" to the Catholic League in New York.

The League promptly came unglued and tore into KPCW and Public Radio International.

Crawler reported the blasphemous affair pointing out it was unwise to mess with Catholics who have centuries of experience in dealing with wisenheimers. (Abu Ghraib is a day at the beach for these guys.)

"Fair Game" Host Faith Salie argued that humor is a bridge over religious differences.... a path to understanding. Of course, that went over like a lead Eucharist with the League.

The inevitable came at the tail end of the show last night:

Salie: "It was certainly not our intent t0 belittle anyone's faith and we are sorry if this offended any of our listeners."
