Jay Severin

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Jay Severin (born James Thompson Severino on January 8, 1951) is an American political talk radio personality on Boston's WTKK-FM (96.9). Severin, a former Republican Party political consultant, who describes himself as a libertarian conservative, constitutionalist/originalist, or radical independent, worked for the presidential campaigns of George H. W. Bush (1980) and Pat Buchanan (1996) before becoming a radio talk show host and political analyst. Throughout his childhood and early adult years, he was called "Jimmy Severino", and later changed his name to "Jay Severin" upon entering the world of Republican politics. For several weeks during 2005, Severin was a contributor to the MSNBC program The Situation with Tucker Carlson, though he was originally billed as a permanent cast member. The New York Post quoted a source which said the reason was partly his displeasure over having to commute from Sag Harbor to the New Jersey-based MSNBC studio. In September 2005, it was announced that Severin would be joining CBS Radio with a new show called "Jay Severin Has Issues".
