I listened to Howard for many years, and I found him smart, funny, interesting, and possible a creative genius. I kind of got turned off from Howard when he married Beth, I think his show radically changed, he became self righteous and he now seems to want to fit in with Hollywood rather than rebel against it. What I think is very hypocritical was how he treated the wack packers. On one hand the new Howard plays himself off as a social justice warrior, yet he clearly manipulates the wack packers for his own amusement when they obviously are mentally ill. For a guy who fancies himself to be morally righteous I think this is wrong.
