Savage is 3rd nationally, but I wouldn't call him third rate. Third ranked, maybe. That sounds better.
"... but I wouldn't call him third rate."
I would.
I recently listened to the how-to-use-your navigation system-in-your-new-car CD rather than listen to him, when he was the only talk I could get in the boonies.
I've heard that thrown around. Got source?
Whatever - his appeal to a lot of folks, is the same attraction that makes people slow down and gawk at a car crash.
All you Savage-bashers need to go back to DU where your ad-hominem attacks on Savage are more in vogue. They are not necessary or appreciated on this conservative forum. Savage is conservative and calling him names is doing the very things most of you seem to be complaining about.
But what about his complaints, illegal immigrants running amok, borders wide open, Republicans sounding like Dem-rats, too many Bush-bots drinking too much koo-laid. I think he has his finger on the pulse of how most conservatives feel these days about the current state of affairs in this country today.
