I said many of these same things about Savage about a week ago. He had Buchanan on, and he DID suggest that Bush was to blame, for the NO mess.
On top of that, Savage is hard to listen to,on a normal day.
If he is not "rehashing the old stories of his youth, working for his father",or in the drugstore;
If he is not talking about meatballs, or fish,or wine;
If he is not talking about "what Teddy"(his dog) did today;
If he is not running down O Riley, Rush or Hannity;
If he is not saying how the war is lost, and Bush is in over his head, and basically slamming President Bush, blaming him for everything from gas prices to the latest computer virus;
THEN-- he is out there, telling everyone how miserable he is, and how no one should expect to be happy, or succeed, and how life is just a living hell, for nearly everyone.
There now. I think I have pretty well covered the Savage program. And after last week, I have had ENOUGH OF IT!!!!!!!
Oh yeah. Exactly. Now, Savage says some good things every once in a while, but I'm DEPRESSED within 5 minutes of listening to his show! It's the same reason I don't hang out with liberal people. They are NOT happy and they want to make YOU as miserable as THEY are.
I mean, Rush Limbaugh is predictable as hell, but at least he's OPTOMISTIC.
WRT to 87, what pisses you and others off is that Savage is increasing his ratings share while others are decreasing, according to all of the media that reports and follows radio talk shows.
Savage isn't doing well because he found a scam to pull over the ears of listeners but it is because listeners see and hear a voice who reflects their thoughts and beliefs. Savage is better than all but two radio talk show hosts presently, Hannity and Rush, and before the end of the GWB era he will only be behind one of them, according to his assessment. I think that is about right.
As the GOP continues to fail the conservative American spirit and the needs of our American nationalistic revival, Savage is the voice of clarity who exposes those who aren't on the side of a free republic.
