The Summer Ratings Book is in today in New York and Levin beats Savage - Again - 4.1 to 3.8 ( 6 to 8 p.m.)

"Schmuckie Schumer was the last straw for me with Savage."

What is the Weiner/Schumer thing I keep hearing you guys talk about?

I thought I was up to speed on Der Weiner's breakdown, but I must have missed the Schumer thing.

[Current Occupant]

During the Port snort Schmuckie agreed with Savage and Savage had him on his show, not once but twice, and Savage slobbered all over him. Quite dusgusting.

[Petronski]

Levin is intelligent and sane. Weiner is, well, he seems intelligent enough.

[Petronski]

Levin actually IS on XM, but on tape delay (9pm et).

[lormand]

I'm not surprised at all. I figured this guy to be a fraud soon after listening to him.

Sometimes Weiner words sound just like Cindy Sheehan, but with a Jackie Mason delivery.

[Redleg Duke]

Not suprising. Savage is an idiot with a large mouth.

[JayVan]

I think Levin's format is boring. He reads an article, yells about liberals in a high pitched voice and repeats that for a couple hours. Then there is Savage who sounds like someone on Air America at times. Nevertheless, there are my favorites.

Let's see one has a PHD and the other has a what? most people with PH D's are thinking outside the box hence the definition of genius is a person who influences another for good or bad.

Allot of people hate Savage because they can't take the criticism, therefore instead of rebutting the man it's easier to complain. Most people listening to Levin get a sense of security. It's very easy to agree with a yes man.

[Petronski]

A Ph.D. in what?


LOL

[Robwin]

"How exactly are radio ratings figured? It must be awfully difficult to conduct surveys of radio listeners."

So that's what did Air America in? I knew it. I just knew it.

[Sprite518]

OK so where is the link?

[Sprite518]

I cannot find this radio ratings you are talking about. However, I found this from July that says just the opposite of what you are saying.

Trust me it's something you'll never earn.

[Petronski]

Trust me it's something you'll never earn.

That's a pretty extravagant insult. But you have no idea what post-graduate degrees I hold, do you?

Piss off back to your pathetic "savage wiener nation." The rest of the conservative movement is laughing at you.

[Petronski]

Let's see one has a PHD and the other has a what?

A J.D. and a resume including work in the Reagan Administration.

Ph.D. in Botany v. 25 years practicing constitutional law and working in the Reagan Administration. Which one is better equipped to talk about politics, government and the law?

[Dr.Deth]

Get off the phone, you big dope!

"

Clearly then we should listen to him for his political opinions. Moreover we need more trained Nutritionist talking about foreign affairs and domestic policy on the radio.

"Clearly then we should listen to him for his political opinions. Moreover we need more trained Nutritionist talking about foreign affairs and domestic policy on the radio."

Since you cannot fathom what an education can do to man, I have no help for you. The fact that he holds a Ph.D. onto itself is impressive. I don't mind people who listen to high school drop outs, but remember these people are not challenging your intellect, there repeating everything you want to hear.

I find it hard to believe that so called conservatives on this website rip a man who believes in borders, language and culture. Maybe my educational capacity is not up to par with RNC members.

[NYC Republican]

It's because that SOB Scumbag Weiner (Savage) is a raving lunatic who spends far more time on his show attacking the GOP and Bush, and talking about BS policies that are anything but commercial (price controls on oil???).

For Air Amerika, you can just disregard the drivel. Savage has 8 million listeners... to talk that way about the fellow conservatives is just reckless, and a disgrace...

He's also the whiniest, most depressing host on radio...
