Michael Savage Has Gone Off The Deep End

I read an article the other day about how some conservative talk show hosts with nothing to talk about plan on eating their own. Guess their source must have been Michael Savage.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Savage goes ballistic ping!

[Yardstick]

Savage's name-calling attacks on Rush Limbaugh are especially pathetic. During yesterday's show, Savage was full of whiny angst about Rush not sticking up for him during the debacle that ended his TV show. Savage complained that while he stood up for Rush during Rush's drug scandal, Rush hadn't returned the favor. The funny thing is that Rush has never said anything about Savage -- either before or after Savage's TV show -- and probably never will. Rush seems to have a policy not to mention other talk radio personalities. But for some reason Savage thinks he deserves special attention from Rush, and he has now resorted to namecalling after not getting it. What a ridiculous display.

Boo! Don't make the mistake of taking Savage too seriously. Enjoy him for the entertainer he is.

[truthandlife]

I tried to listen to this guy but he will not last in the long run on the national scene. His show gets old and his opinions lately have been idiotic. This guy could be certifiable.

I am sure his audience will continue to erode.

Savage is just an angrier version of Bill O'Reilly; an egomaniac using the "Conservative Talk Show Host" label to get his 15 minutes of fame. Just like BOR you get an occasional glimpse of his true leanings. I think this is the reason he doesn't get alot of support from other hosts. His inflammatory rhetoric aside, I think the other hosts smell a rat.

Maybe it's time for someone to remind Savage that if there were no Rush, he would still be recalling the Latin names of 20,000 plant species.

THAT's the truth!

[Chani]

lol Savage is reading this column right now on air and commenting!

[Citizen James]

Savage is challenging you to go on his show... Please put him in his place!

[TexasCajun]

Left out Glenn Beck...

[sordidmesh]

And what is wrong with doing that you moron?

I agree he is entertaining at times. Also, that he is totally mis-informed at other times. Sometimes, right on. But, underneath it all, I believe he is a troubled soul. He just refuses to believe in anything good.

His continuing tirade against/cruel satire of Rush is plain pathetic. In return, Rush is totally ignoring the whole thing demonstrating how unimportant Savage is. He has made himself unimportant.

He may be manic-depressive, usually manic but I've heard the depressive end of it. What I definitely do not like is his gratuitous ridicule of callers; he is totally uncivil.

In other words, I would love to have lunch with gentleman Rush but dread the thought of sitting down with Savage.

[KiloLima]

"Reality radio," huh? Guess I missed the boat.

Also, whatever he thinks of the war, who cares? His blatherings about strategy are demoralizing to the troops, the very same troops he said last week he loves and honors more than anything. Well, questioning the war the way you do, Mikey, is not the way to love and honor our BRAVE HEROES! DO YOU HEAR ME? DO YOU HEAR ME?

I used to like Savage, but have stopped listening to him. I heard him say the other day that it was all about getting a rise out of people for the ratings. It was off the cuff and I don't know if he even meant to be that transparent. Regardless, it confirmed what I thought - he is just trying to be controversial, contradictory and aggressive to gain numbers. My guess is that it is backfiring...

[skip_intro]

Just out of curiosity, do you know where the ten million listener figure came from?

The CIA could learn a thing or two about secrecy from the radio industry.

I think that a lot of people use to love Savage but he sucks these days.

The other day I was out with a client of mine and I mentioned Mike Savage and they all gave me a dirty look. They all said that is not the same he was a year or a few years back.

HEY SAVAGE: Go out on the boat and bring back the old Savage!!! The Savage that got you where you are today!

[DeepInEnemyTerritory]

Michael, is that you?
I used to listen to you regularly but over the last year I have been listening to you less frequently. Your ego has grown out of control and the bashing of fellow conservatives is coming across as pathetic and making you look like a jealous dolt. You used to report news complete with solid facts along with common sense hyperbole. Now, all you seem to be spouting is hyperbole that does not pass the smell test.
I hope you take some time (soon) to examine yourself, identify where you went wrong and regain your edge.
I will tune in every so often with the hope that you are back.

[A CA Guy]

He looks to be in poor health as well.
