We love it when one of the homeys gets some national attention, (or in this case, ridicule). We've heard from a bunch of readers: Stephanie Miller ((KPTK m-f, 6-9a) mocked Dori Monson (KIRO m-f, 12-3p) on-air Monday; her sidekick, Jim Ward did a hilarious impression of the The King of Seattle Ta...
