Monson is one of the Limbaugh imitators on Seattle talk radio. He adopted this shtick after the end of Pat Cashman's wildly entertaining morning show where Monson was one of the co-hosts.
Note that the station's owner, Bonneville International, is wholly owned by the Mormon church.

That jerk thought he could just get away with it. Like most right-wing conservatives, he probably believes hes the victim.

Seems a bit out of the ordinary given their conative roots.
