Former St. Augustine Mayor candidate Kris Phillips has died.
Phillips owned Hate Radio Station WFOY, some of whose pay-to-play Dull Republican programs would gag a maggot. Here is Phillips with her idol, the late Hate Radio Termagant Rush Limbaugh (RUSH HUDSON LIMBAUGH, III).
Phillips may well be most remembered as a meanie, the parvenu new WFOY owner who fired beloved local newsman Al Brennan, stiffing him on money owed him. Al sued and won a small settlement
Rest in Peace, Kris Phillips. Our religious tradition teachers forgiveness. Pray for her.
