Tavis Smiley, a regular on the syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show, up and quit the radio program yesterday. Via phone call. Officially, Smiley says he just has too many projects on his plate, but even Joyner believes the real reason is all the hatred aimed Smiley's way for criticizing Barack Obama. Says Joyner: "He's always busting Barack Obama's chops. They call. They e-mail. They joke. You know Tavis like I do. He needs to feel loved." So, the guy who is always harping on Obama can't take criticism himself? That's rich.
