The more I listen to Savage (which I cannot do for any length of time anymore) the more I am convinced that he is a hateful, bitter, ungrateful little man and that most of his hostilities are directed not toward ideological opponents, but to those on his side who are more successful than he is.
I can’t tolerate his adolescent name calling of other conservative talk-show hosts. I can’t tolerate his superficial attacks of what they do or do not do. I can’t tolerate his hidden covetousness that he can’t claim a larger market share.
And I can no longer tolerate his frequent references to himself as some sort of a genius or prophet, how he is always thirty years ahead of his time, that no one “NO ONE!!” else is saying the things he says.
For the most part, all he says is what those other talk-show hosts (whom he loves to hate) have already said.
He is thus forced to scramble for the absurd in order to find the “unique” commentary of “the genius, the prophet.”
It’s a shame that he can’t be grateful for the success he has found rather than coveting that which he never can, because he is blinded by jealousy.

I have to agree.
I catch Savage first thing in the morning when I wake up,
6AM here.
I have tried to overlook his condescension of the other talkers, but as I would point out, I PAY to get Rush 24/7.
I would never pay to get Savage.
The final straw this past week was his claim that Obozo is the smartest president of this century.
While I still respect Savage’s education and past works, for me he has blown it as a political commentator.
