I didn't say his act was original! :-)
It is entertaining, though. And Savage doesn't call for violence or anything like that. He is a ham, and a character. I think most people who listen to him realize that.
I could be wrong, though.
These morons, these cretins, these cynical, pathological, amoral a-holes have turned political debate in this country into something resembling professional wrestling. We have guys like Savage on one side and a former Saturday Night Live writer on the other. They've taken the debated and distorted the facts and issues so that all you can hear anymore is the distortions.
