Savage is challenging you to go on his show... Please put him in his place!
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.
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...
He looks to be in poor health as well.
Just saw your thread today. But I heard Savage reading your article during yesterday's show where he bellowed his "demand" that you go on his show, and/or reveal your identity. It's interesting that he's become so enraged over your particular criticism, as though he hasn't been hearing similar for a few years now. If this is new to him then he's more insulated and isolated than I had guessed.
He said explicitly that he is not a conservative but a nationalist. He also wonders why conservatives can't be conservationists and that he wishes to no longer cover national politics. Retirement from radio at the height of his popularity is just around the corner if this keeps up.
