Strange bedfellows: Michael Savage Donates to Democrats
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 10/16/06 | arual

Strange bedfellows: It turns out that ultra-hot conservative talk show host Michael Savage is backing Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown for state attorney general. "What can I say? I think he'd make a great attorney general compared to the other guy. By the way, who is the other guy?'' Savage said, when asked why he chose Democrat Brown over conservative Republican Chuck Poochigian. Savage, whose rants can be heard locally on KNEW-AM, is backing up his hot talk with some hot money as well. Savage Productions, which lists Savage as president and his wife, Janet Weiner, as director, has donated $5,600 to Brown's campaign. "You have to make choices in an imperfect world,'' Savage said. "And this, this Machugian guy. (Like we said, it's Poochigian.) I never heard of him. I don't even know who he is." Poochigian has spent the past 12 years in Sacramento, first in the Assembly and now in the Senate. Doesn't impress the president of the Savage Nation. "Why bet on a horse that isn't going to win? Why throw your money into the garbage?'' So how did the best-selling author of "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder'' wind up backing a liberal once nicknamed "Governor Moonbeam"? "People change. He changed. He has experience,'' Savage said of Brown. "He started the Oakland military academy -- that was a good thing." And Brown's politics? "He's moved to the center, which is what this socialist state needs," Savage said.

"He started the Oakland military academy -- that was a good thing."

So he rewards someone for doing the right thing. More power to him.

On this campaign, Moonbeam tries to paint Poochigian as an "extremist" on a "woman's right to choose" (not to mention embryonic stem cell research). Standard operating procedure for a typical Democrat.

Did Savage mention that he is the smartest man in the world and invented compassionate conservatism ? For every good thing Savage says he says 10 things that prove his insanity.

Doc Savage and his money might all go for naught. Some guy is challenging Jerry's lawyerly credentials.

In the California Constitution, the A.G. has to have practiced law for 5 years previous to running for A.G.

Jerry's only been at it for 3! Oops.

Don't worry. That does not stop people like Jerry from going at it anyway. As for Mikey backing Jerry, the real Savage has now stood up, a power groupie who wants to bask in the limelight.
