His apology is so lame: “I want to apologize to Jamie and her team for my behavior and how I handled the unfortunate incident this morning. It was simply a reaction of a dad who was protecting his children. I lost my temper, I lost my cool.”

It assumes that his children needed protecting, which is false.
He doesn’t admit that he was the one to over react.
He doesn’t admit that his kids were misbehaving.

They play “Handle On the Law” here on our local talkradio station, WPTF, and I’ve always found him entertaining because he’s a loon. But after this, I won’t be listening anymore…and will be letting my local know it. (Whether it makes any diff or not.)

This guy is a rude irresponsible jackass…

It appears Handel has been suspended for a week and issued a half-ass apology.

Largest radio station in LA. Anyway, I’ve got his show on now and he is absent and the guest host and his regulars have not mentioned the “incident.” Their competing station has joked about it. Sort of telling that his underlings don’t have the cojones to metion it.

I think that little Billy needs a time out in the “think it over chair”.

Handel is tool. I listen to KFI sometimes and he always comes off like a asshole. (Hint: Bill, keep your stupid kids out of other’s work place. It’s called personal responsibility, ass-clown)

My money says that he won’t be offering an apology for his behavior. When he believes something strongly, it’s a fait accompli, he won’t back off.

No, he apologized for dissing Islam once. That was the day I quit listening to his show on Sundays after church “Handel on the Law”

Personally, he would regret getting in my face like that, but hey that’s just me. You can’t sue if you can’t wake up from the coma….

I see some irony in a woman who makes a career out of talking about the details of her sex life on air getting irritated at ill-mannered children.

Still, Handel lost it.

Besides, rushing into someone’s studio during a show like that any flying off the handle is just grossly unprofessional NO MATTER WHAT Jamie White said to the kids.

Exactly, and she didn’t say anything on air either when chastising them. She had the manners, apparently, to do it off air.

This is like Rosie bullying a six year old, instead of teaching her own how to handle conflict.

Then right after Handel cools off, White can seque to her next segment …

“Dr. Phil, so good to have you on today!”

I think it’s pretty obvious that Billy Boy heard a story from his spoiled girls, then went flying on a rage LIVE ON AIR under the assumption that 11-year olds NEVER make up stories to get someone they don’t like in trouble.

Besides, rushing into someone’s studio during a show like that any flying off the handle is just grossly unprofessional NO MATTER WHAT Jamie White said to the kids.

I can’t understand why some people are employed, if they have impulse control problems like that, not to mention any kind of high-paying or public interaction job.

Jamie White ought to do a show inviting Nanny 911 as a guest. Heck, she doesn’t even need to cover this incident but they could cover what happens when Handel gets wind of it that day.

And do remember to have make a vid, Jamie. Bwahahaha.

Man, I didn’t hear John and Ken on Friday but I’ll be sure to check the podcasts on Monday to see if they ripped into him. Hopefully the KFI policy on this will be for everyone to mock Handel, as they often do anyway.

I wish these radio hosts were required to a truth in advertising standard, i.e., admit that their personal endorsement is based on the fact that one, the advertiser has bought ad time, and two, that the host was provided with the product/service at no cost.

Turmoil at the station – read the dialog in the frame - it sheds a bit a ‘light’ on how this came about…

BILL HANDEL IS AN IDIOT AND A MORON WHO HAS NO RESPECT FOR ANYTHING DECENT.He supports sodomites, abortion, and everything else that’s wrong with this country. His daughters are obnoxious little twits which is no surprise seeing as they’re his. He pimps them out to his advertisers for voice overs (radio spots) and they manage to sound like two pampered buttholes while eliciting donations to a childrens charity!

What a self-righteous, incompetent, failed parent arsehole.

Somebody should have beaten him to a pulp, then let the air out of the wheels on his wheelchair.

G-d but I HATE pricks like that.

What’s the worse that she could of said to them? Even if it was fk off you little monsters, they were interfereing with her business and Handel was not watching his own kids.

I got tired of Handel years ago. He works all the time, is always hustling one product or another, talking about paying 1k for concert tickets, or about being in therapy his entire natural born life. The man is a walking neurosis.

The guy’s got a future in the NBA.

I love Bill Handel. I’m waiting to see what she said to his kids. This should be entertaining.
