After he stated over and over again that Hugo Chavez was the dictator of Argentina, after being corrected, I became convinced that he was off his rocker.
Savage is a bitter man who is entertaining every once in awhile, but his grating style gets to me.
In the end, he's just another talking head, nothing more, nothing less.
Anyone who would change his birth name to what sounds like a name for a porn star has problems to begin with. But I have tried repeatedly to listen to his show, and yes, he has some factual knowledge, but it's like finding a Rice Krispy in a bowl full of mud. He whines, he complains, he bitches, and his fans worship him because he disparages President Bush--yeah, he's no Bushbot!
OK, great, fine--but what does he GIVE? What does he say of VALUE beyond rhetorical heat?
Nothing I've been able to detect before turning off his redundant shouting.
In a speech in Derry, N.H. (2004) President Bush told the crowd that Abu Nidal killed Leon Klinghoffer, (Achille Lauro infamy). He was corrected by his staff, it was acutally Abu Abbas. A little later, at a stop in NY City, Bush made the same mistake again, calling Abu Nidal Klinghoffer's killer. In his speeches he confuses Switzerland with Sweden, Osamma with Saddam, Iraq with Afghanistan. He mis-speaks so often there is a book out there which contains just some of them, and also a day-to-day calendar that contains "Bushisms". Will you call him "off his rocker" too? I didn't think so.
If M. Savage is "off his rocker" that doesn't say much for conservative America, the folks who have made him the #3 most listened to talk show in America. It also does't say much for those who purchased his FOUR national best sellers. I suppose it doesn't say much for the Universities that issued his two Masters degrees and his PhD either, nor for Pepperdine where he holds another honorary Phd. I wish I was as off my rocker as he is.
