It’s all humor.
Savage, on the other hand, really is a narcissist. And, I tend not to like stage names instead of folks using their real names.
Just his choosing the name “savage” says something about his narcissism. It’s not his real name.
I like the humor part of Rush, especially the MaHa Rushdie thing. Rush takes an extraordinary amount of time to make a point because of his self aggrandizement. I do not mind that, but he goes on and on.
Stage names are common, does not bother me that Savage uses a stage name. Maybe he did it to start out, not worth the effort to change.
Mike Savage's crack about Ann Coulter being a lady of the night; i.e., some kind of prostitute, was extremely mean spirited. I did not support Ann Coulter's cheerleading for Mitt Romney, but she still deserves better than that.
Rush used stage names when he was a DJ. It’s the norm in that business.
The way some if these morning zoo people act, if I were their parents, I would make them use a fake names.
