Michael Savage Mocks Ted Kennedy Tumor
SFGate: Politics Blog ^ | 5/21/8 | Joe Garofoli

Posted on 05/21/2008 10:29:34 AM PDT by SmithL

Even Ted Kennedy's political enemies spoke kindly of him when they learned that he had a malignant brain tumor.

But not conservative talk show host Michael Savage. As a form of "respect" to Kennedy on his syndicated talk show Tuesday, Savage played The Dead Kennedy's "California Uber Alles" - get it? Ho ho, the wit! Oh, and he dropped in a couple of "Kindergarten Cop" sound clips of the Arnold Schwarzenegger character saying, "It's not a tumor."

Listen to it here, if you must. Then quickly bathe.

Mike, Mike, Mike, one word, baby: Karma. It never forgets.

Then again, Savage's Karma Deficit is higher than Barry Zito's ERA, based on his past stunts, like the time he told a caller to his then-MSNBC program a "sodomite" and that he "should gets AIDS and die." MSNBC fired him.

Stories about brain tumors suffered by Fred Beeblebrox will not.

What about Fred's cousin, Zaphod? :)

Was the Chronical outraged when Bill Maher suggested that Dick Cheney's death would save lives?

I've always liked punk rock music.

Could Savage could name 5 punk rock songs? Or punk rock bands?

Good point!

Michael Savage is a political provocatueur, and if you can’t get his brand of “in your face” political prophecy, then don’t pay attention to him at all.

I think it took guts to do what he did. Everyone else has bent over to begin eulogizing the man, when he should be called out for what he is (and was) a callous, indifferent, priviledged aristocrat that got away with murder.

It’s sad that anyone has to die, and I am not laughing at the man, but if Savage wants to lampoon the situation for shock effect, then I could care less.

It’s not going to make him lose a single listener that understands what they have been listening to and why they like to listen to Michael Savage on the radio.

A brain tumor for a drunk driving murderer? Good for him.
It was good radio Savage, thanks for the laughs!

Michael Savage is not a republican or a modern conservative. He is a self described “nationalist.” Those of you who think he is a liberal plant are ignorant. He makes his left-wing positions on certain issues clearly known. He has said many times that he would vote for a democrat who believed in borders, language, and culture. He is very critical of wall street and President Bush.

Well if Karma never forgets then old Ted is in for a world of hurt upon his eventual demise.

I could say the same thing about Rush, Coulter, Hannity, Ingraham. Why? They couldn’t agree on a conservative for president, and push him.

>>A brain tumor

Not long ago, WBZ radio talk host Paul Sullivan retired
after getting a brain tumor and died shortly afterwards.
Ted K called in to his “last show”. I was half listening
and was a little surprised to hear him keep saying something about “Mary Jo”. No, it wasn’t Kopechne—that’s the name
of Sullivan’s wife.

"Savage is obviously a jerk but he’s just one conservative..

Anyone who EVER thought that Michael Weiner (Savage) was, is, or ever will be, "a conservative", should pray for discernment.

Like all grifters, he is a cynical opportunist and nothing more.

In the lyric booklet the came with the DKs “Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death” there’s a page for the song
“Too Drunk to F-—” and it includes a fake 45 cover:
“TED Kennedy’s Too Drunk To Swim, b/w PRAY, Mary Jo!
Available at Hall of Records, Chappaquiddick, Mass.”

You're right. Mea culpa. I should have put the word "alleged" before conservative.

Well said. I cannot find it in my heart to eulogize Ted Kennedy. I do not wish ill health on anyone; but refuse to take the time to pay fake homage to Ted Kennedy. There is nothing positive the man did that outweighed his evil narcissistic life.

Yep. Mary Jo agrees!

Savage should know that conservative broadcasts are monitored and recorded by the little-minded lemmings of the left. Then they are examined and scrutinized, and if anything is said that can be used to crucify the conservative, you’ll hear about it the next day in the media.
He didn’t mock Kennedy, but used other media in such a way as to implicitely mock Kennedy.
He should know that the left is itching to destroy him and will inflate this episode as much as they can.

What's wrong with that? It's a perfectly legitimate and classic English word.

By the way, has Mike ever referred to a well known entertainment person as Ellen DeGenerate?

The RATs will trot out the old SOB at the convention to get a sympathy vote. They'll milk him as long as they can. Kennedy has no redeeming qualities. I actively wish him no ill. But I care nothing about his fate.

I might actually care about Mr Beeblebrox. Not Kennedy.

To claim that Savage was mocking Sen. Kennedy’s brain tumor is like claiming that Jonathan Swift was really endorsing the eating of Irish babies.

Now you went and did it; wasting references on the clueless, and introducing adult thought into the hysteria.
