Tom Leykis, a talk radio host, was beaten up in Seattle, apparently by a caller he had insulted on the air.
This immediately made me think of the Oliver Stone-directed movie Talk Radio, in which Eric Bogosian plays a shock jock who is assaulted by a listener. Turns out that, for the role, Bogosian studied and mimicked the on-air production style, speech patterns and mannerisms of... Tom Leykis.
Circle of life.
