BobGrant in many ways is the brakes on the idiot mentality of the typical Rush Limbaugh listener, who thinks they know what's best for the country.
If BobGrant would not take sides and comment on both the Democrats and Republicans, I think all of us would be that much better off with talk radio.Grant is the man who could pull this off, the attacking of policy made by both Republican and Democrat that doesn't meet the public's general well-being.
This was not meant to be an intentional hope of Grant's that Brown or any of the others should have died, but in the heat of hot daily debate of talk radio, a comment made that was supposed to be clever and light-hearted, turned out to be a mistake.
BobGrant was born in Hammersmith on April 21 1932 and studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, working in his spare time as both a bus conductor and a frozen food salesman.
Grant played George Brown in the dramatisation of Mrs Wilson's Diary, written by Richard Ingrams and John Wells, and was so shaken when Labour's mercurial Foreign Secretary suddenly resigned in 1968 that he at first offered to stand down from the part.
Grant wrote several more comedies, including Home is Where Your Clothes Are, about two people sharing one room at different times of the week, and No Room for Love, concerning a doctor who arrives at a hotel with his receptionist only to find that his wife is also there.
