I almost never listen to Savage, I pretty much stopped listening about a year and a half ago. The few times I do tune in, he's hawking his book and his event, as you said.

My husband and I were invited to attend his appearance in the SF bay area with another couple, but fortunately we are otherwise occupied that weekend. We had gone to one of his Paul revere society events a few years ago, and I must say, I was quite disappointed. Savage was consuming vast quantities of vodka while on stage, and just got more incoherent by the minute. He was just talking about whatever came into his head. He mocked people who were standing up and leaving, which was about half the audience, including my husband and me. I had since heard him talking about that event, and he seems to be under the illusion that the more he drank, the clearer his mind became. Uh, Michael, it didn't sound that way from the audience.

I know that there are a lot of Freepers who think that he is the best. I used to listen to him when he first came on the air in San Francisco, about 10 years ago, but after a few years, I just got tired of him.

I started losing interest in Savage when he was on one of the news programs, saying that liberalism is a mental disease and is responsible for all of the ills of today's society. He had a chance to retract or modify his statement... He took a pass, and made an even more shrill comment...

Frankly, he says he's conservative, and most of his views are solidly in the conservative camp... but, he gives us all a black eye. Just like the disgraceful behavior a few of our soldiers gave the whole US army a black eye, Savage's shrill rhetoric plays right into the libs caricutures that conservatives are mean, not caring, evil, etc...
