A Democratic source sent along audio clips of the awkward moments on former Maryland Gov. Bob Ehrlich’s radio show this weekend that TPMDC detailed earlier today.

In one, Ehrlich (R-MD) argued with a caller who said that, as a political candidate, the former governor should be kissing his “butt.” Ehrlich, embroiled in an electoral rematch with Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) told the caller that he doesn’t “kiss anybody’s butt.” When the person protested, Ehrlich noted the guy’s language and said, “Get him out of here … we don’t want to put up with that.”

The source did not include the show’s full audio, so it’s difficult to know the full context of Ehrlich’s irritation. As we reported, a Baltimore Sun reporter wrote that the exchanges Saturday seemed to be disrupting Ehrlich’s normal “flow.”

In another segment, a caller asks him about education and Ehrlich tells the man he “doesn’t even understand” charter schools. Listen below:

And in this last one, Ehrlich is hit by a caller about unemployment. Listen:

Ehrlich did not respond to an email sent to his address at the “Kendel and Bob Ehrlich Show” on WBAL radio.
