If you’ve been following my blog, you know I’ve been trying to get Jimmy Lakey, who’s a Colorado Springs talk-radio host, to explain why he laughed like a mad man when a caller compared Michelle Obama to a character in the Planet of the Apes. (Listen here to the audio.)

On his show Sunday, September 25, Lakey offered up a response of sorts.

He was laughing about something, and he cut off his laughter abruptly and said:

“Oh, I’m sorry I’m laughing. Laughing makes many people nervous on this radio show.”

I’d been looking forward to hearing what Lakey had to say, but I never expected to agree with him, especially when he was mocking all the people who were legitimately upset by his behavior.

But he’s right. He laughs and I’m nervous.  That’s not my usual reaction to laughter, but in this case, it’s true.

Now I’m hoping he explains himself some more.

September 25, Jimmy Lakey show on KVOR-740 AM, owned by Cumulus Media, Inc.
