"Borders, Language, Culture" is the heart of "the Savage Nation," Rush rarely brings up borders. Hannity will cover the border when the issue hits the headlines. Savage's savaging of other talk-radio hosts annoyed me until I realized that this is just part of his shtick.
He's talked himself into a corner trying desperately to gain a wider audience. If he truly believes what he spews, he's certifiable. If he doesn't, he's a hypocritical hack. His desperate gambit has failed. His audience didn't increase much, if at all, and he's alienated himself from all but the "eat nails and crap barbed wire" crowd. 74 posted on 11/28/2005 8:49:26 PM EST by Jokelahoma (Animal testing is a bad idea.

Actually, Savage had risen from #5 in talk-radio in 2003, to #3 today; according to Talkers Magazine.
Interesting background article on Savage here, including the origin of his "Savage" name.
How could he not. Limbaugh sounds like he's on the government payroll, and Hannity has bored all his listeners to death.
