Michael Savage cursed Miers. The very day she was nominated, he took to the airways to denounce the pick as a betrayal of Bush's Conservative base. Although I was skeptical when I first started listening to him, I must say Savage has been making a lot of firsts latelty. Another key one was barely 4 hours after the "threat" to the NYC subways was announced, he called it a hoax and a phony on the air. 3/4 of his callers thought he was way off base. Not until 6 days later was it confirmed that it indeed was a hoax.
Yes Savage was key but, then again, there was Kristol, Frum, Brooks and Krauthammer. I am sure I left many out but these were the earliest and fiercest.
